"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!"
