Gates open at 6:00 p.m. on July 2 with a scheduled first pitch of 7:05 p.m. On Wednesday, July 3, gates open at 4:45 p.m. while first pitch is scheduled for 5:45 p.m. This unique start time is due to new MLB guidelines for start times on a travel day.

“With the earlier start time than normal, we thought this was the perfect idea to supplement a great night for our fans,” said South Bend Cubs President Joe Hart. “This will allow the family friendly entertainment to continue with a concert after the game, that will also ensure it’s still dark enough out for fans to fully appreciate an outstanding fireworks show.”

Field box tickets are $15 and dugout box tickets are $17 in advance for both days. Tickets go up $1 the day of each game. Tickets for the concert and fireworks show are also available for only $10. These standing room only tickets allow for entry to the stadium after the eighth inning of the game on July 3. Standing room tickets do allow for access to the field following the game for the concert and fireworks show. Click here for the standing room only ticket.
