- The Loons will be home the weekends of Fourth of July and Labor Day

- The last home game of the season returns to its traditional spot on Labor Day Weekend

With the schedule in hand, the Great Lakes Loons ticket office will begin ticket package renewals on Wednesday, September 15th with the goal of returning all package holders to their pre-pandemic seating location. Fans are encouraged to contact their ticket representative directly to lock in their seats for 2022. New ticket package sales and reservations for groups, including suite and Northern Lights Pavilion rentals, will begin on October 4th.

"We can't thank our fans enough for the outpouring of support we received during a unique 2021 season", stated Chris Mundhenk, Loons President and General Manager. "This past season far surpassed any expectations we had going into it and sets the tone for what will undoubtedly be a phenomenal 2022 season. We look forward to celebrating fifteen seasons of Loons baseball with the Great Lakes Bay Region throughout next Spring and Summer."

The Loons wrap up the 2021 regular season this week at Dow Diamond with a six-game series against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, set to culminate on Sunday.
