In addition, Allegiant Air will be giving away 18 Roundtrip Tickets. Also on the home stand is another AM Pyrotechnics Friday Night Fireworks Display, a Hiland Dairy Ice Cream Sunday, and Fan Appreciation Day on Monday, September 3rd, where fans will receive a voucher for a free ticket to a regular season home game in 2008!

FRIDAY'S RAINOUT

Due to the cancelled game between the Springfield Cardinals and the Tulsa Drillers, tickets from the August 24th, 2007 game may be exchanged for a ticket to any remaining regular season game during the 2007 season or any regular season game during the 2008 season (subject to availability). In addition, due to the limited number of games remaining in the 2007 season, the Cardinals will allow ticket holders to apply their rainout tickets from the August 24th game toward the purchase of a ticket to the 2007 Texas League playoffs. The Texas League playoffs begin at Hammons Field on September 5th, 2007. Thanks again for your patience during Friday's rained-out game.

Tickets must be mailed or presented in person to the Gate 1 Ticket Office in order to receive tickets to another game. Complimentary tickets are not exchangeable.

Tickets for all Cardinals' home games as well as all Texas League Playoff Games at Hammons Field can be purchased by calling (417) 863-2143 or online at springfieldcardinals.com. Go Cards and Get Your RED On!
