Fireworks nights continue to be among the most popular ballpark events, and the RockHounds will offer nine (9) post-game shows in 2009, each on a Saturday night. Ticket packages for all nine nights are available by clicking here.
Souvenir giveaway nights will feature some of the traditional ballpark "greats," including two cap nights and adult and kids jersey nights.

The Clown Prince of Baseball, Myron Noodleman returns to Citibank Ballpark with a June 20th appearance. Myron was named baseball's Clown Prince in 2004 (it's actually a very prestigious and historic title) and he earns that title every time out. A bizarre hybrid of Jerry Lewis, Groucho Marx and who knows who else (!) Myron works a room like no one else in the game.
Sunday & weeknight special events return including Thirsty Thursdays, which have become and "instant classic" at the stadium.
RockHounds Radio has a new home for 2009 ... JACKFM (102.1) - After more than two decades with KCRS-AM, the 'Hounds are moving, but it's all "in the family." Like KCRS, Jack is a member of the GAP Broadcasting Group. The station, at 102.1 FM, is scheduled to carry each of the RockHounds 140 games "live," including weekday day games. Bob Hards returns as Voice of the RockHounds, back in the booth for his 18th season with the franchise and his 22nd year in professional baseball.
