Military salute, FIREWORKS, $1 beers on tap

July 6, 2017

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

The State College Spikes are home for another big weekend at the ballpark through Sunday, July 9. Military Appreciation Night and FIREWORKS presented by Lion Country Kia, a special $1 Beer Saturday, the All-American BBQ, and much more will pack the promotional schedule at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

The Spikes will host the Auburn Doubledays (Washington Nationals) for all three games, beginning with a 7:05 p.m. matchup on Friday night. The Doubledays will also bring a familiar face with them as State College Area High School graduate Nick Raquet returns home after being selected as the Nationals’ third-round draft choice this year.

The fun starts on Friday with Princess Night and Daddy-Daughter Date Night that evening, featuring a Post-Game Family Dance. Plus, fans can purchase the 4 for $44 Friday Northwest Family Value Ticket Package, with four of our best seats, four hot dogs and four small sodas available for just $44.

Saturday, get a big day in Central PA started at the ballpark with the All-American BBQ as the Spikes face the Doubledays at noon. It’s also a special $1 Beer Saturday at the ballpark, with 12-oz. domestic draft beers available for just $1 apiece from 11-1.

Plus, the All -American BBQ will give fans a special opportunity to purchase individual all-you-can-eat seats in the Pepsi Picnic Pavilion, starting at $17 for kids 12 and under and $24 for adults.

The All-You-Can-Eat buffet at the Pepsi Picnic Pavilion features classic All-American BBQ items like hamburgers, hot dogs and barbecued chicken. Sides include chips, baked beans, potato salad and, new for 2017, mixed greens salad. Soda, water and cookies are also available as part of the buffet.

Seats in the Pepsi Picnic Pavilion also come with free access to Ike’s Kids Zone in left field for kids 12 and under, as well as free ice cream sandwiches in the seventh inning.

The homestand concludes on Sunday with one of the best nights of the season as we pay homage to those men and women who have served and continue to serve our country on Military Appreciation Night, presented by Lion Country Kia. Fans can join the Spikes in a variety of tributes throughout the night, with military vehicles also on hand to see and touch.

In addition, fans can place their bids in a Patriotic Hat Auction benefiting Local Military Personnel presented by Lion Country Kia. The Spikes have autographed the special patriotic hats they wore on July 3, and each hat is up for bids to help those who have ensured our freedoms. After the game, the skies will light up with a Spike-tacular FIREWORKS show.

Sunday is also WHVL Day at the Ballpark, as the first 500 fans receive Spikes Koozies presented by WHVL-TV. WHVL-TV will also broadcast Sunday’s game live with Steve Jones providing the play-by-play.

Kids can also run the bases after all three games this weekend thanks to Wonderland Charter School.
