Fan guide

What to expect on a Star Wars night

Star Wars nights are among the most popular theme nights across every league. Costumed characters from local fan clubs are usually on the concourse before and during the game, the video board runs themed content and the team often wears or sells themed gear. The collectible item, when there is one, is typically a bobblehead, jersey or shirt that pairs a player or mascot with the theme.

Items are split between two models: a gate giveaway open to all fans while supplies last, or a theme ticket package that includes the item. Which one applies changes the whole plan for your night, so check the team's listing. Costumes are welcome at most venues, but masks and prop weapons are generally not allowed inside.
