Albany River Rats News Release
ALBANY, NY - The Albany River Rats announced today details surrounding the club's promotional activities scheduled for a pair of home games this weekend against the Hershey Bears and the Providence Bruins at the Times Union Center.
The 7:00 p.m. match-up against the defending Calder Cup Champion Bears on Friday night will feature the popular Aramark Dollar Dogs promotion where all fans can get $1.00 hot dogs and small sodas at select Times Union Center concession stands. Fans will also be treated to the second semi-final round of the River Rats' "Battle of the Bands" series presented by Success Recordings & Molson Canadian. The semi-final rock-off will feature local bands DC Theory and Catching Cadence. Fan and judge's votes will have an equal say in which band advances to the Finals, which will be held in January.
Saturday's 7:00 p.m. contest against the P-Bruins will feature several great fan giveaways, beginning with a three-day Berkshire Vacation Getaway courtesy of Vacation Village's Patriot Suites Hotel. Fans will also have the chance to win tickets to Disney on Ice, coming to the Times Union Center next week.
