Weekly Promotions Highlight South Bend Cubs 2021 Season

SOUTH BEND, IN – After much anticipation, the South Bend Cubs 2021 schedule was released back in February as the league moved up to “High-A” within the reorganized Minor League Baseball system. Today, the organization is proud to release the weekly promotions for the upcoming season. Every homestand this year runs from Tuesday to Sunday and will feature one opponent all six games.

New for 2021 is Triple Play Tuesday, presented by Kayem Foods. This triple combo includes a game ticket, jumbo hot dog, and 16 oz. fountain soda, all for just $12. The package must be purchased in advance. Also, with every Monday now a scheduled off-day for the league, Dog Day Monday has become Tail Wagging Tuesday. Fans can bring their dog to the park and enjoy the game with their furry friend. Owners must sign a waiver prior to entry. Both Tuesday promotions are not available on May 4.

The popular Giveaway Wednesday returns as the first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a South Bend Cubs promotional item. A number of items will celebrate the 2019 Midwest League Championship like a replica championship trophy and replica ring. A complete list of giveaway items will be announced in the coming weeks.
