The River Bandits will offer $1 beers and $1 pops, as well as $1 hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn and nachos for the Sept. 4 playoff game as part of the continuing celebration of the Bandits' successful season and the Quad Cities' own Modern Woodmen Park being recently voted No. 1 in the USA Today/10Best.com Readers' Choice Best Minor League Ballparks. The River Bandits will also give away a used pick-up truck during the game.
"We wanted to make this season's playoff game a truly special event for the people of the Quad Cities," said River Bandits co-owner Dave Heller. "So we thought we'd celebrate our ranking as the nation's number one ballpark by having one dollar food and drink specials, discounting all tickets and, best of all, giving away a really great pickup truck!"
