The RailCats return home on Thursday. A renewed rivalry with the St. Paul Saints gives the RailCats the chance to throw a Mardi Gras style party to celebrate, as U. S. Steel Yard will be transformed into a family friendly version of Bourbon Street! There will be plenty of party surprises all night long and at least one parade so this is a day you sure won't want to miss! Other homestand highlights include Fireworks on Friday, and Bark in the Park on Sunday for Father's Day.
