The Frisco RoughRiders unveiled their 2019 promotional schedule highlighted by a multitude of never-before-seen theme nights. Single-game tickets for these can’t-miss nights are on sale now.
The full promotional schedule can be viewed here, and the RoughRiders are wasting no time getting the fun started, with two of the season’s biggest theme nights coming in April.
“How you doin’?” – A Tribute To Friends
On Friday, April 5, don’t miss “The One With The RoughRiders”: A Tribute To Friends, as the team pays tribute to the hit TV series. James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther on the show, will join the festivities and partake in a meet and greet, among other events. Fans can PIVOT! PIVOT! PIVOT! to the Bull Moose Saloon, which will be converted into Central Perk for the evening. Plus, Ross and Monica will be in the ballpark – that’s right, Ross Lanford and Monica Man of the Riders’ sales staff will be taking photos and signing autographs for all interested fans.
Multicultural Festival
The amazing April continues with the club’s Multicultural Festival on Saturday, April 20. All night long, the Riders celebrate the plethora of different cultures and ethnicities that make Frisco and North Texas so diverse. The festivities include a pregame cricket demonstration, and the first 1,000 fans through the gates take home a Riders-themed cricket bat.
Dallas Stars Night
Another major theme night for 2019 is Dallas Stars Night on Saturday, August 10, celebrating the upcoming season, which includes the much-anticipated Winter Classic. Full details about this memorable evening will be announced at a later date.
Fireworks Fridays
Fans will have 24 opportunities to enjoy postgame fireworks in 2019 with the return of Fireworks Friday and the introduction of Sky-Lit Saturday, presented by Lexus. The sky will also light up above Dr Pepper Ballpark on Opening Day (April 4) and on July 3 for an early Independence Day spectacle.
The promotional slate also includes a bevy of giveaways and other special evenings, including the return of Party @ The Yard every Thursday and a revamped version of Kids Sunday Funday, complete with a different theme each Sunday and enhanced play areas for kids and their families.
