INDIANAPOLIS – A birthday gift fit for a… furry red bear! As part of Rowdie’s 31st birthday celebrations, the Indianapolis Indians today announced that Marvel Super Hero™ Weekend will return to Victory Field on Aug. 17-18. The Indians will wear specialty Rowdie jerseys and caps, and fans can meet their favorite characters and receive an Avengers hat giveaway.

“We’re excited to announce another installment of our popular Marvel Super Hero™ promotion on Rowdie’s birthday,” said Randy Lewandowski, Indianapolis Indians president and CEO. “We look forward to unveiling our new Marvel-inspired Rowdie jerseys and caps and giving fans the opportunity to meet their favorite super heroes.”

Marvel Super Hero™ Weekend kicks off on Saturday, Aug. 17, vs. the St. Paul Saints, Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The night includes a meet-and-greet opportunity with Spider-Man, Black Panther and Thor.
