Tuesday, June 6 vs. Iowa Cubs, 7:07 p.m. - Annual Toilet Paper Drive presented by Innovative Office Solutions

There are countless uses for toilet paper. We'll show you every one of them during our annual Toilet Paper Drive presented by Innovative Office Solutions. Whether you're a front to back, back to front, fold it into squares, or scrunch it type of person this is a day we can all agree giving back is most important. While the average person spends approximately three years sitting on the toilet during their lifetime, they use more than 60,000 rolls of toilet paper in that time. With so much TP being consumed the St. Paul Saints and Innovative Office Solutions are rolling out their annual Toilet Paper Drive. The collection of toilet paper on this night will be donated to 2nd Harvest Heartland. What better way to celebrate toilet paper than on a Sun Country Travel Tuesday.

Wednesday, June 7 vs. Iowa Cubs, 7:07 p.m. - Throwback to 00s presented by North Hennepin Community College (Minnesota State)

Times were much simpler back then. We didn't have a care in the world. It was a time before social media really took off. Walter White was just beginning his foray into a double life. By the end of the decade we all wanted to be Hungover in Las Vegas. Let's go back in the time machine to the aughts as we throw back to the beginning of the century and celebrate the 00s presented by North Hennepin Community College (Minnesota Stats). The phrase "hanging chads" entered our lexicon, the first partial face transplant happened in France, and we could finally stop printing out maps courtesy of a new technology known as GPS. Facebook and Twitter were just getting off the ground and a "wardrobe malfunction" occurred at the Super Bowl. We'll celebrate this and much more as we take you around the state on an Explore Minnesota Wednesday.

Thursday, June 8 vs. Iowa Cubs, 5:37 p.m. (Doubleheader)- Pride Night

The inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community is extremely important. Pride Month takes place in June to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. The goal is to uplift the voices of the LGBTQ+ community, celebrate the culture, and support their rights. Bring on the parades, drag performers, and celebrations of life for members of the community. Pride celebrations stretch from the largest cities to the smallest rural towns and across every continent, including Antarctica. The pride flag will wave high in center field, drag performers from the Saloon Bar in Minneapolis will interact with our crowd, similar to our ushertainers, and businesses from the LGBTQ+ community will be out to educate and enlighten fans about the importance of their companies in the community. So come out and help us celebrate in a Saints-like way. Enjoy the game on a Thirsty Thursday featuring $2 beers and two-for-one Bud Light Seltzers.

Where does Princess Leia shop for Father's Day? At the Darth Maul. How does Darth Vader like his toast? On the dark side. This day is no laughing matter. Rebellions may be built on hope, but this day is built on fun and entertainment. Today we will let go of our pride and do what is requested of us on our Star Wars night presented by Metro Transit. The Force Runs Strong in Our Family as you will not Sense Much Fear in Us. We will not allow the Republic to fall under the control of a Dark Lord of the Sith.

Saturday, June 10 vs. Iowa Cubs, 7:07 p.m. - The Nine, Honoring The Colored Gophers and Celebrating Billy Williams presented by Cub

The Saints will take the field as the St. Paul Colored Gophers honoring the small club of black baseball players formed in St. Paul in 1907 as part of Major League Baseball's The Nine Initiative presented by Cub. The Saints will celebrate the great William "Billy" Williams and his impact on the state of Minnesota. Born in St. Paul in 1877, Williams was a standout player on several integrated teams in the region. In 1904, he was the only African American player on the St. Paul Amateur Baseball Association team and the team's captain. That year the major league Baltimore Orioles asked Williams to join them, suggesting he pass as an American Indian to avoid racist opposition. Williams declined to do this and instead accepted a job with Minnesota Governor John A. Johnson, whom he had met years before on the baseball diamond. Williams went on to serve as the assistant to 14 Minnesota governors between 1904 and 1957. The Saints will don specialty St. Paul Colored Gophers uniforms. We get tropical on a Treasure Island Saturday.
