Peoria Chiefs News Release
PEORIA, IL - With the magic number for a playoff spot at two and the possibility of clinching on the field tonight, the Peoria Chiefs have announced that 2009 playoff tickets are now on sale. The Chiefs could potentially host six post-season games with the first home playoff date scheduled for Wednesday, September 9. Each post-season home game played will start at 6:30 PM unless the Chiefs host on a Sunday, in which case first pitch will be slated for 2:00 PM. Gates will open one hour prior to start time.
The Chiefs host Quad Cities tonight at 6:30. With a win and a loss by the Clinton LumberKings, the Chiefs would wrap up their first playoff spot since 2006. Peoria can also clinch even without a win if Clinton is swept in a doubleheader tonight against Cedar Rapids. The Chiefs magic number to clinch the Western Division is five. Gates for tonight's game between the Chiefs and Bandits will open at 5:30. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling the O'Brien Field Ticket Office at 680-4008 or by visiting www.peoriachiefs.com

Both suite level party decks are also available for each playoff game. With a minimum of 30 tickets purchased, groups can take in the game from the Friendly Confines or Stadium Club for a cost of $10 per ticket plus a food order requirement.
