THE OPPOSITION: The Redbirds will welcome the New Orleans Zephyrs to AutoZone Park for the second time this season starting Saturday, June 3rd. Memphis and New Orleans will play a four-game set before the Redbirds hit the road again for four games.

The Redbirds will present the second fireworks extravaganza of the season at AutoZone Park following the game on Saturday, June 3rd. Sunday, June 4th is Six Flags Day at the ballpark. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a voucher good for a 2006 single-day admission to Six Flags St. Louis. Sunday is also the second Community Day of the season as the Redbirds present Collierville Day and kids can run the bases after the game. Hyundai will give fans two opportunities to win a new car during the weekend. If a Redbirds player hits a grand-slam in the bottom of the fifth inning on either Saturday or Sunday, one lucky fan will win a new car courtesy of Hyundai.

FREE FLAGS: Redbirds fans will find their next vacation to one of America's favorite theme parks much more affordable if they get to the ballpark early on Sunday, June 4th. That's because Six Flags St. Louis will give out free single-day admission passes to the first 10,000 fans through the gates of AutoZone Park on Sunday. The passes are good for any day during the 2006 theme park season at Six Flags St. Louis.

'BIRDS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD: The Redbirds are hosting Community Nights at AutoZone Park for the third consecutive year.
