Frisco RoughRiders News Release
FRISCO, Texas - The Frisco RoughRiders begin the month of May with a full week at home, playing a seven-game homestand Wednesday, May 1 through Tuesday, May 7 at Dr Pepper Ballpark.
After an Education Day matinee on Wednesday, the RoughRiders bring the works of Mike Judge to the spotlight Thursday with Tribute to Arlen Night, honoring Judge's works such as "King of the Hill" and "Office Space". The evening also coincides with another Deep Ellum Brewing Party @ The Yard, bringing "the BIGGEST party in North Texas" to Frisco.
Saturday, May 4, the Riders host Great Outdoors Night, celebrating the vibrant outdoor recreational community in North Texas while also honoring the conservancy efforts of Teddy Roosevelt. The first 1,500 fans through the gates that evening take home a free Riders camo hat.
The Riders conclude the weekend with the club's annual Girl Power Night, aimed at both celebrating the accomplishments of women in our community while also empowering the next generation of female leaders.
