Jackson Generals News Release


JACKSON, Tenn. - The Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, will give away nine pairs of 2018 SEC football tickets on Saturday, September 1, as part of SEC Night at The Ballpark at Jackson. The annual event will highlight the final regular-season homestand for the Generals (71-61) as they take on the Chattanooga Lookouts (62-68) in a five-game series before the playoffs begin on September 5.

Among the nine pairs of tickets raffled off during the game, four will feature the Tennessee Volunteers taking on SEC East Division opponents, with three of those games being held at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. Six of the ticket pairs will include the Vanderbilt Commodores, most notably their November 24 matchup with the Vols at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville.

In addition to the gridiron giveaways, the Generals' September 1 game against the Chattanooga Lookouts will feature the last regular-season fireworks show, arranged in coordination with various fight songs from Southeastern Conference schools.
