State College Spikes News Release


(STATE COLLEGE, Pa.) - Due to an international shipment being delayed in customs for an unknown reason, the Blair Thomas Bobbleheads that were to be given away at tonight's 7:05 p.m. home game have not arrived in Central PA. Therefore, the first 1,000 fans through the gates, which open to the public at 6 p.m., will receive a voucher good for the bobblehead when it arrives.

In addition, the first 1,000 fans will also receive a voucher good for a Bullpen Box ticket to a future Spikes home game as well as a free bag of popcorn at the gates as a token of our appreciation.

"We had fully anticipated that the bobbleheads would arrive earlier this week and worked diligently to try every avenue to bring them in once we were notified of the shipping delay. However, we were unable to do so," said Spikes General Manager Scott Walker.

The date for bobbleheads' arrival is not yet known but will be communicated via the Spikes' social media channels and StateCollegeSpikes.com as soon as it becomes available.

All other promotions for tonight's game are still on, including the special Blair Thomas Appearance, as the legendary running back will meet and greet fans, throw out a ceremonial first pitch, participate in an on-field contest, and sign autographs during the game.

Thomas will be featured on the cover of the Spikes Illustrated program for tonight's game, making for a great piece of memorabilia to get signed during the evening.

After the game, the skies will light up with a spectacular FIREWORKS show, presented by Fullington Auto Bus Company.

Friday is also Bellefonte Community Night, presented by Swartz Fire and Safety, as the Spikes honor the seat of Centre County with a pre-game performance by the Bellefonte Cheerleaders and more activities, including a FREE Kids Zone presented by Friends of Jake Corman. The Spikes will also recognize the Bellefonte Little League 10U All-Stars for their District 5 champions, as well as spotlight the Bellefonte Area High School Softball team for its district title and the Bellefonte Area High School Majorettes for their state championship.

Fans will also enjoy a 4 for $44 Friday, presented by MAJIC 93.7, with four Diamond Club or Field Box seats, four hot dogs and four small sodas available for just $44. Additional packages can be purchased for $11 each.

In addition, it's a Fireball Friday with half-price Fireball drinks from 6-8 p.m. and a Yuengling Happy Hour with half-price Yuengling from 6-8 p.m.
