Fan guide

What to expect at a theme night

Theme nights are games built around a community, a culture, a hobby or a pop-culture property. The baseline experience is the game itself with themed music, video board content and often in-game entertainment. The themed item, when there is one, is almost always tied to a theme ticket package rather than handed out at the gates, so a regular ticket gets you into the game but not the item.

If you want the themed shirt, hat or jersey, buy the theme ticket package from the team. Theme packages are capped and sell out ahead of popular nights. Some theme nights include pregame events on the plaza or postgame activities on the field.

Questions

Do I get the theme item with any ticket?

Usually not. Themed items are typically part of a theme ticket package.

Is a theme night different from a giveaway night?

Yes. A giveaway is handed out at the gates to everyone while supplies last. A theme night item is usually included only with a package.
