Professional athletes from the gridiron and baseball diamond will team up this Friday as fans are invited to come celebrate Seahawks Night at the Rainiers. This Ultimate Night for the Ultimate Fan will start off with a bounty of pre-game autographs from Rainiers players, Seahawks star and Tacoma native Marcus Trufant and former Seahawk great Bobby Engram. You won't want to miss out on Rhubarb, Blitz and an on-field performance by the Blue Thunder. An appearance by the SeaGals will also sweeten the deal! Following all the Pigskin and Pastime fun, the skies will light up over Cheney Stadium with Friday Night Fireworks presented by Ohana Harbor Coffee. All of this great action for regular Rainiers ticket prices.

Salute to Armed Forces Day - Saturday, May 9th at 7:00 pm.

On Saturday, the Tacoma Rainiers will pay tribute those who serve our country and you can be part of letting those men and women know how much you honor their service. The Rainiers will be video taping your personal messages of thanks and support for a keepsake DVD being sent to troops serving around the world. The DVD will also be shown on the Pentagon Channel which broadcasts military news and information to 2.6 million members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The First Corps Command Honor Guard from Ft. Lewis will also be part of pregame ceremonies to pay homage to the five branches of the military and the Washington National Guard.

Tickets are going fast for this special night and the Rainiers are offering the special price of $5.00 for military members and their families.

Ladies' Day at the Ballpark - Sunday, May 10th at 1:30 pm.

Come out and celebrate Mother's Day in style with Ladies' Day at the Ballpark.
