There is no better group of people to come together on a day when doing nothing is the name of the game as we ask you to skip out on work and enjoy an afternoon at the ballpark. Every weekday afternoon game during the season is some form of “skip work” with the Saints, but you can learn how to make your mark while appearing to do next to nothing at today’s game. There are no better slackers in the Twin Cities than the gang from one of the most popular morning shows in the country and, while they should be working, Cory Cove, Chris Hawkey, and Paul “Meatsauce” Lambert are skipping out of the iHeart studios to take in a St. Paul Saints game. The morning show hosts will have their hands all over the Saints entertainment that afternoon. They’re bringing their friend along with them. A man who has more than 140 acting credits to his name, but maybe none more notable than a character that spent most of the movie dead. That’s right Terry Kiser, who portrayed Bernie Lomax in Weekend at Bernie’s and Weekend at Bernie’s II, joins the Power Trip gang on a day you won’t want to miss. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a special Wednesday at Bernie’s poster. A special ticket package is available at saints-tickets.com with the password: Bernie. For $40 gets you a roaming ticket, plus an exclusive meet and greet with the guests of honor, and a Saints Wednesday at Bernie’s T-Shirt.

Thursday, July 25 vs. Omaha Storm Chasers, 7:07 p.m. – Irish Night presented by Hamline University
We all become a little, or a lot, Irish in March during St. Patrick’s Day, but our European friends are known for more than just an imbibing good time. Come find out all the unique facts on Irish Night presented by Hamline University. We can all thank the Irish for dressing up in October as Halloween was originally an Irish celebration. The number of countries in the world with a musical instrument as a national symbol: 1. That’s right, Ireland uses an Irish harp as their national symbol. The Irish’s strong folk tradition has provided us with song to Irish dance and to poetry. Let’s not forget leprechauns, who were mischievous little fairies, while the shamrock (or clover) was traditionally a symbol for the Catholic Holy Trinity. Throughout the game fans can bid on the player worn jersey’s and go home with a special piece of memorabilia. Of course, Irish pubs are an important part of life and that’s perfect on a Thirsty Thursday featuring $2 beers and two-for-one Bud Light Seltzers.

Plus, we were the team that did the original Purple Game way back in 2008. Then, we did it again in 2014 and of course we had to do it in 2016 as a tribute. The Saints will recreate those three magical nights as players will don special Purple jersey’s. . Throughout the game fans can bid on the player worn jersey’s and go home with a special piece of memorabilia. Along with the special uniforms, the entire night will feature Prince songs, including a Post Game Fireworks, powered by Xcel Energy, which will be accompanied by Prince songs with the fireworks in the color Purple.

Whether you bring the dog to the game, or your dog brings you, there will be plenty of fun for both. Fire hydrants will adorn the concourse, but only for the dogs, and various contests will go on during the night including which owner looks most like their dog and which owner can sit, stay, and roll-over on command. Make sure man’s best friend is on a leash, and hold on tight, because when a foul ball is hit there will be a mad dash to get the ball.
