Old Orchard Beach News Release
Brockton, Mass. - Wacky Wednesday is right around the corner, so join the Brockton Rox this Wednesday, June 13th for Backwards Night at Campanelli Stadium! The Rox host the North Shore Navigators at 7:05 p.m. in Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL) action.
The concept of Backwards Night is very simple. Take your standard baseball game and flip the entire thing in reverse. The game will open with the postgame handshake and close with the National Anthem. The seventh inning stretch will take place in the third inning and the first pitch will be the last pitch. The scoreboard, the video slides, the graphics; it'll all be backwards.
There is one aspect of Backwards Night that fans will really appreciate. Since the Brockton Rox usually stop ripping tickets after the seventh innings, fans who arrive before the third inning on Wednesday will get in for free! Fans will still be asked to head down to the ticket office first so that they can choose their seats.
"Fortunately for our fan base, we stop ripping tickets at the top of the seventh inning," said General Manager Tom Healy. "So since the seventh inning will technically be the third inning on Wednesday, fans who get here early enough will get in for free."
Concessions will run as they normally do, but since the sale of beer also usually stops in the seventh inning, it won't be sold until the third inning on Wednesday (except for in designated areas). It might sound confusing, but it's all part of the Backwards Night fun!
Backwards Night is just one of many fun and exciting promotions that you can find at the ballpark all summer long. From Superhero Night to Christmas in July to Country Night, the Brockton Rox have tons of fun in store for fans of all ages!
