Corpus Christi Hooks News Release
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Hooks pay homage to the armed forces with a stacked Memorial Day Weekend slate against the Frisco RoughRiders from Thursday, May 23 through Sunday, May 26 at Whataburger Field.
In the first three games of the series, your Hooks will defend Whataburger Field as the Corpus Christi Blue Ghosts in a nod to the USS Lexington CV-16. In addition to on-field military recognition, fans can enjoy face painting and a USS Lexington display on the Whataburger Field concourse throughout the weekend.
