Barks & Brews: Pawsome news! All dogs are welcome at the ballpark on every Tuesday home game, free of charge (with a paid human)! Dogs must check in at the West Gate, and fill out a waiver before entering. Dogs must remain in Sections 117-121, or on the ABLE Charter Home Run Hills. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their own dogs. All dogs must be leashed at all times. A mini-plan with a ticket to all Tuesday home games called the "Puppy Pass" is available for $50, and includes a Ports dog bandana.
Special Back Porch Buffets: On one Tuesday per month, the Ports will open the Jackson Rancheria Back Porch up to individual ticket buyers, with a different menu every month, including: Italian, Hawaiian, Mexican, All-American, and Asian Fusion. Tickets are available at stocktonports.com/tickets for $25, and includes a game ticket and the all-you-can-eat buffet for 90 minutes.
Clutch! Parking: For the first time, the Ports will offer a mobile parking pass. Fans are encouraged to download the Clutch! app on the Apple Store or Google Play, and purchase parking in advance. Passes may be transferred via iMessage, SMS text, or email.
Parking: All major credit cards are now accepted at all Ports-operated parking lots.
Pick the Song: Beginning Opening Night, fans will have the opportunity to pick Ports' opponents' walk-up music. Fans are encouraged to visit the Ports community table inside the main gates and request an appropriate song to be played for an opposing player for the entire game. A donation of $5 ensures the song will be assigned to a random player, while $10 allows fans to select a specific player from the lineup. All proceeds will benefit the Anchor Fund, the Ports 501c3.
Renovated Kids' Zone: In 2019, fans will see a brand new, 22-foot slide as well as a new speed pitch game in our SJC Foster and Adoption Kids Zone. Kids are able to purchase tickets for individual attractions, or have the ability to purchase an all day pass (Monday-Thursday $5, Friday-Sunday $10).
Double Double Batter: Before every Ports home game, a section and Ports batter will be selected as the In-N-Out Double Double Batter of the game. If that player hits a double, the entire section wins a Double Double Burger.
A's Weekend: The Ports introduced "A's Weekend," taking place June 9-11 vs. the San Jose Giants, to celebrate 15 years as an Oakland Athletics affiliate. The weekend begins with a gold t-shirt giveaway honoring former Ports Matt Chapman and Matt Olson's Gold Glove awards. On Saturday night, the Ports will wear Athletics and Credence Clearwater Revival jerseys to tribute the Bay Area band, with postgame fireworks presented by Food 4 Less/Rancho San Miguel Markets. To close the series, the Ports will giveaway Blake Treinen bobbleheads to the first 1,000 fans, presented by EZ Network Systems.
New staff: The Ports are excited to welcome five new staff members to the its Front Office.
