Northwest Arkansas Naturals News Release


After a road trip that saw the first-half playoff hopes fade into the rear-view mirror, the Naturals return home for some home cookin' in an eight-game homestand against the Tulsa Drillers and the Travelers. No doubt they're ready to hear the adoring cheers of their Arvest Ballpark fans, who no doubt will be packing the stands this week for one of the most unique entertainment acts around as well as the usual giveaway nights, fireworks, and pre-game parties that go along with this exciting eight-game homestand.

The Naturals raise the curtain on this, their sixth homestand of the 2008 campaign with Monday Night Lights, presented by Ozarks Electric Cooperative Corporation, Sam98, Y94, and the Morning News. On Mondays, fans can bring in their Ozarks Electric bill for $1 off of a Premium, Reserved, or Subway Berm ticket at the box office. Monday night also means Baseball Bingo by The Morning News, so fans should pay close attention to the baseball action on Mondays. Sam98 and Y94.9 will also broadcast live. Gates open at 6, and the game starts at 7.

Tuesday night is Arvest Customer Appreciation Night. All Arvest customers presenting a bill, credit card, or debit card at the box office window receive $2 off their Premium, Reserved, or Subway Berm ticket, and 93.3 The Eagle will broadcast live before the game.
