JOLIET, IL - Baseball fans throughout the nation are familiar with the same-city rivalries of The Subway Series and the Crosstown Classic, but now the Joliet Slammers and the Schaumburg Boomers are bringing the familiar rivalry competition to the suburbs with The Metra Series!

The teams have partnered with Metra to introduce a new way to enjoy all the Slammers and Boomers games whether at Duly Health and Care Field or Wintrust Field. With both stadiums being located within walking distance of Metra stations, fans are encouraged to skip the traffic and take the Metra to and from the stadiums, and use your Metra ticket at the Box Office to receive $2 off your game ticket!

"The price of gas is eating a hole in everyone's pocket. Metra riders save money and avoid the stress of driving on the way to the ballpark," says Janice R. Thomas, Metra's Deputy Executive Director. "We could not be more excited to bring this opportunity to baseball fans and families, and we look forward to providing a safe transportation option to and from each stadium. Similar to Chicago's Crosstown Classic, we can't wait to see lots of fans wearing their jerseys on the train."

In order to receive the Metra Series discounted ticket, the ticket must be purchased on the day of the game at the respective stadium's Box Office, and you must show your Metra ticket for redemption. Game days are as follows;
