“As we go on sale with TinCaps tickets earlier than ever before, we hope fans take advantage of the offer to check out our amazing Holiday Lights at Parkview Field,” said TinCaps President Mike Nutter. “After having 19 games sell out in 2024, it’s never too early to lock in your seats. We think TinCaps tickets can make for a great holiday gift as well.”

Parkview Field’s Holiday Lights, presented by Lear, Paul Davis, and the Rohrman Automotive Group, opened Thursday. Thousands of guests have already visited the ballpark for the first few nights. The walk-thru event features more than 1 million lights choreographed to holiday music, plus a train ride for kids that goes around the concourse, a digital scavenger hunt, a craft area, appearances by Johnny Claus, and more. The Holiday Lights are open every night from now until January 4 (with only the exception of Christmas Eve). Tickets are $10 in November and $12 in December / January.

The team's roster for 2025 won't be finalized by the Padres until late March, but the No. 2-ranked prospect for San Diego, 18-year-old shortstop Leo DeVries, is projected to be in Fort Wayne after finishing the 2024 season with the Single-A Lake Elsinore Storm. MLB.com ranks DeVries as the ninth best shortstop prospect in baseball and No. 28 among all players.
