RailRiders adding to giveaway slate

First Posted:

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders plan on continuing their increased presence in the world of baseball game promotions.

For the second season of the RailRiders, the biggest change in the team’s daily promotions will be the move to free T-shirts before every Tuesday home game.

In 2014, PNC Field will keep the family full with “$1 Hot Dog Mondays” when hot dogs are just a buck for every Monday night game.

Then comes the new addition, “T-Shirt Tuesdays.” Each Tuesday throughout the campaign will see 1,500 T-shirts given out at the gates with a different shirt each time.

The family dining deal “Kids Eat Free Wednesdays” continues. Children 12 and under will be given a coupon at the gate for a free kids’ meal at Wednesday night games. The meal will consist of a hot dog, a bag of potato chips and a small beverage.

“Thirsty Thursday” is back, with $1 beer and soft drinks, as well as a live pre-game band.

Fridays will offer a pre-game block party and live music. After the game, “Friday Fireworks” will set a proper tone for the weekend.

Each “Giveaway Saturday” will feature both a special giveaway and a live pre-game band.

The “NEPA Honda Dealers Sunday Family FUNday” experience puts a bow on it all as players sign autographs and carnival acts dazzle before the game, while after it your kids can get down on the field and run the bases of PNC Field just like the players.

A more detailed promotion and giveaway schedule will be released at a later date. Daily promotions will not be valid on school day games and weekday day games (Wednesday, April 23; Wednesday, May 7; Monday, May 12; Wednesday, July 9; Wednesday, July 30; Monday, Sept. 1)

The RailRiders’ 2014 season begins on Thursday, April 3, when the club kicks off a seven-game road trip at Syracuse against the Chiefs. The home slate commences a week later on Thursday, April 10, when the Chiefs visit PNC Field.
