South Bend, IN - Beginning on Tuesday, May 5, the South Bend Cubs will move into the second half of their 12-game homestand with a series against the Lansing Lugnuts, the High-A affiliate of the Athletics. With the week bookended by specialty ticket offers and plenty of fun to come in between, it's a great time to make a trip out to Four Winds Field.

Specific to the Lansing series, the Cubs will offer a few specialty food and drink items throughout the week. For Tuesday's Cinco de Mayo celebration, Cantina will serve up Carnita Quesadillas, while assorted margaritas will be available at all concourse bars. For Saturday's Star Wars Day, Franx will feature the Ronto Wrap, which contains pork sausage, coleslaw, and cucumber peppercorn sauce in a pita. Additionally, all concourse bars will offer the Yoda Soda, which blends Malibu, pineapple juice, Midori, a splash of blue curacao, lime, and blueberries.
For the full week, Franx will prepare an opponent-themed hot dog. This week, it's the Loaded Lugnut, which is a jumbo hot dog with chili, cheese, and white onion.
