FRISCO, Texas - The long-awaited Dude Perfect Night is only part of a week full of fun at Dr Pepper Ballpark, as the Riders host a seven-game homestand Thursday, July 19-Wednesday, July 25.

Dude Perfect Night, which sold out earlier this week, promises to be one of the most memorable nights in Dr Pepper Ballpark history. All five dudes will be at Dr Pepper Ballpark and the first 1,000 fans through the gates will get access to a meet & greet with the online trick-shot sensations from 7:30-8:30 p.m. in the Bull Moose Saloon. The dudes will also throw out a very special first pitch and take part in some mid-inning activities, among other festivities slated for the night. Meanwhile, the Riders will wear special Dude Perfect-themed jerseys, which will be auctioned to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The special evening concludes with a sparkling fireworks show as part of Fireworks Friday

That's not all that's happening this week, though. There are plenty of other exciting nights on tap.

On Thursday, July 19, the Riders are hosting the latest edition of the Deep Ellum Brewing Party @ The Yard. For just $10, fans get access to the BIGGEST party in North Texas, featuring $1 beers, a vast selection of food trucks, tailgate games, non-stop music and a great social scene. With high temperatures expected Thursday, take the party to the cool waters of the Choctaw Lazy River for only $39. In addition to drink specials at the Party @ The Yard, Thirsty Thursday specials will be available throughout the park from 6-8 p.m., featuring $1 domestic beers, $2 crafts and $1 Dr Pepper products.

Saturday's game is the annual Faith & Family Night at Dr Pepper Ballpark. On Sunday, the first 500 kids through the gates take home a free Whataburger Art Contest baseball as part of Kids Sunday Funday and everyone will enjoy another great postgame fireworks show. Plus, bring your pups to the yard on Tuesday for the final Bark In The Park of the season, presented by Legacy Veterinary Hospital.
