Wilmington, DE - The Wilmington Blue Rocks are offering complimentary tickets for local "Heroes in Uniform" and their families, for the team's playoff opener on Friday, September 11.

The Blue Rocks plan to honor local Firemen, Policemen, EMT, and Military Personnel before the game, which is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. The purpose of the ceremony, and the night, is to not only remember the brave heroes we lost eight years ago, but to recognize those who protect us as part of their daily lives and professions.
