Sky Sox Set to End 2015 Campaign with a Bang

August 26, 2015 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Colorado Springs Sky Sox News Release


COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Colorado Springs Sky Sox return to Security Service Field to begin an eight-game homestand with four-game sets against the Omaha Storm Chasers, Triple-A affiliate of the defending American League champion Kansas City Royals, and New Orleans Zephyrs, top affiliate of the Miami Marlins. The final homestand of the 2015 season is scheduled to get underway on Monday at 6:35 PM MDT against Omaha with gates set to open an hour prior at 5:30 PM.

The August 31 opener brings our final "Must-Win Monday" to the ballpark resting in Pike's Peak's shadow. If the Sky Sox win this Monday contest with the Storm Chasers, tickets from the game will then be valid for the September 7th season finale against the Zephyrs. The Sky Sox have won Monday games at Security Service Field on April 13, April 27 and June 1 this season. Don't forget to take advantage of this promotion if you have your ticket from any of these three games! Kids Eat Free Monday will be in full-effect to go along with the Sox must-win promotion thanks to Arc Thrift Stores.

$2 Tuesday ushers September in on the first of the month courtesy of South Colorado Springs Nissan. All in attendance will pay just $2 for upper reserved and box seat tickets, parking, and Coors and Coors Light Drafts.

September 2 offers fans a chance to bring their best friends to attend the ballgame for the second Bark in the Park promotion of the season. The first 500 well-behaved pooches to the gate will be admitted to the Wednesday contest against the Storm Chasers for a truly unique sporting experience courtesy of Camp Bow Wow Doggy Daycare and Overnight Camp.

The Sox front office is giving our female fans a reason to hurry down to Security Service Field on Thursday, September 3 for our Diamond Giveaway presented by McNulty Jewelers. The first 250 ladies through the gate for the 6:35 PM contest will be given a 1/3 karat item. Of the 250 items, 249 will be cubic zirconia with just one being an authentic diamond. These jewels will need to be presented at McNulty Jewelers to determine the lucky winner! The first 500 fans to enter the ballpark that same evening will receive a reproduction of a New York City-based artist's one-of-a-kind, Sky Sox at sunset print. Rocky Mountain Distributing adds to the night's novelty with $3 Craft Brew Thursday, featuring $3 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!
