Trash Pandas Reveal 2023 Promotional Schedule

The Rocket City Trash Pandas are thrilled to announce the full promotional schedule for the 2023 season. Fans attending games at Toyota Field will be treated to numerous theme nights, giveaways, and 27 incredible fireworks spectaculars throughout the 69-game home schedule in the Trash Pandas’ third season.

Single-game tickets for the upcoming season at Toyota Field will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, February 25 at 9 a.m. online at trashpandasbaseball.com and in-person at the Wicks Family Foundation Ticket Office at Toyota Field.

The Trash Pandas weekly promotions lineup features many fan favorites from the team’s first two seasons, including Reeds Jewelers Ladies Night on Tuesdays, All You Can Eat and Dog Day Wednesdays, Pregame Happy Hour and Burgers and Buds Thursdays, postgame Fireworks Spectaculars on all Fridays and Saturdays, and ending with Kids Run The Bases after each Sunday home game.

Rocket City begins the season at home for the first time, with Opening Night at Toyota Field scheduled for Thursday, April 6 at 6:35 p.m. against the Chattanooga Lookouts. The opening three-game series features a Magnet Schedule Giveaway on April 6, as well as fireworks after all three games to start the 2023 season!

Premium giveaways will be popular in 2023, with six on the schedule including five player items given to 1,500 adults ages 18 and older and one giveaway for 1,000 kids ages 17 and under.

The 2023 jersey lineup features a Star Wars Jersey on May 4, Armed Forces Jersey on May 20, Marvel Super Hero Jersey on June 24, Space Jersey on August 9, and a Huntsville Stars Throwback Jersey on September 8.

Also new in 2023 will be an appearance from a baseball legend. On Wednesday, May 24, former MLB All-Star and Atlanta Braves World Series Champion Ryan Klesko will be appearing at Toyota Field to meet fans, sign autographs, and throw the ceremonial first pitch. Before and during the game, Klesko will be signing autographs for fans. Autographs will be limited to one per person, and all items to be signed are subject to the player’s discretion.
