Amarillo Sod Poodles News Release


AMARILLO, Texas - The Sod Poodles will begin a seven-game homestand Wednesday evening at HODGETOWN that will be full of family-friendly entertainment including promotions, giveaways, discounted drinks and tickets, and the team's first signature theme night of 2019: STAR WARS Night. The team will welcome both the Springfield Cardinals - Double-A Affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals - and the Arkansas Travelers - Double-A Affiliate of the Seattle Mariners - to downtown Amarillo throughout the seven-day stretch.

On Wednesday, May 1, the Sod Poodles open their first series of the homestand when they take on Springfield on another Weiner Wednesday at HODGETOWN. Fans will be able to purchase hot dogs at any concession stand around the ballpark for just $1. The following night, on Thursday, May 2, will be another Thirsty Thursday presented by Barnes Jewelry where fans can purchase fountain sodas and domestic beers for $2.

On Friday, May 3, the Sod Poodles will wrap up their series against the Cardinals with a Friday Night Fireworks show presented by J Ferg Roofing Pros. The show will take place following the conclusion of the game.

On May the 4th, HODGETOWN will become "a galaxy far, far away" as the Sod Poodles will host their first-ever STAR WARS Night when Amarillo will take on the "dark side" Arkansas Travelers to downtown Amarillo for the first time this season for a four-game series.

On the night, the Sod Poodles will be taking the field in style with STAR WARS-themed jerseys, which will be auctioned during and after the game with all proceeds benefitting the Children's Miracle Network. Two ways will be offered for fans to bid on jerseys - 1) During the game through the team's mobile partner application, LiveSource, which will include all non-starter and coaches' jerseys, and 2) in a live auction format following the postgame fireworks show for the starting nine players' jerseys on the night and manager Phillip Wellman. All auction information can be found at the Sod Poodles Fan Center when gates open.

Additionally, the first 150 Kids 12 & Under that come dressed in STAR WARS-themed clothing can get a FREE Motion Action Color Changing Sword at the team Fan Center on the concourse. The night will also feature movie characters, themed promotions, videoboard graphics, concessions items, and more.
