Fan guide

What to expect at a hat giveaway

Hat giveaways are one of the more common gate giveaways and tend to have larger quantities than bobbleheads or jerseys, so the pressure to arrive early is lower, though not zero on a marquee night. Most are adjustable or one-size caps, often in a special design tied to a theme, a holiday or a sponsor.

Hats are handed out at the gates as you enter, one per ticketed fan, while supplies last. Some hat nights are limited to a specific age group, most often kids 14 and under on youth hat nights. If the design matters to you, arrive at gate opening.
