The Railcats are shifting into some alternative uses for their stadium this summer, including some of their standard offerings without the baseball part.

The RailCats are excited to open their ballpark to the community this summer with a unique line up of special events. The ‘Cats kick off their summer events with a pair of Family Nights at the Steel Yard on July 3^rd and July 4^th. Fans will have the opportunity to experience some of The Region’s only fireworks shows and live music on both nights, with all you can eat ticket packages starting at $23 for adults and $17 for children. Fireworks will also be streamed live on both nights on the RailCats’ Facebook Page.

Independence Day weekend Family Nights at the Steel Yard will feature the band Nawty on July 3^rd and The Muddsharks on July 4^th, starting at 7 p.m. Tailgating and viewing parking spaces will also be available in the stadium parking lots for $30 per vehicle starting at 5:30 p.m., with a $5 donation going to the FoodBank of Northwest Indiana. Ticket availability is limited based on local government social distancing guidelines.

Again, good practice of social distancing and some new rules and guidelines for fans (and staff to adjust to).

The live stream of fireworks feels like a new addition during the COVID lock-down that has a chance to become a standard offering in the future.

Tickets for our Family Nights at the Steel Yard, presented by Methodist Hospitals are on sale NOW! 🎇
All You Can Eat, Suite Level, Duggout and Tailgate Viewing options are available! 🇺🇸
