COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Colorado Springs Sky Sox fifth homestand beginning Wednesday, June 13, is packed with seven days of family-fun and affordable entertainment as the team hosts the Las Vegas 51s -Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets - and Salt Lake Bees - Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels - at Security Service Field.

Fans may also bring their furry friends as it is another Bark in the Park at Security Service Field.

On Thursday, the Sky Sox will host Military Appreciation Night presented by Phil Long to honor the men and women in our armed forces while the team pays tribute by wearing special patriotic American flag jerseys that will be auctioned off on the final Military Appreciation Night of the season which is August 23rd. Complimentary ticket vouchers for Military are available at all local installations.

The Sky Sox encourage all fans in attendance to support the 80's theme as the stadium playlist throughout the night will feature music from that decade. The night will also be used to raise awareness for mental health with every home run triggering a donation to the Home Runs for Mental Health partners AspenPoint, Peak View Behavioral Health, and Cedar Springs Hospital. Friday will be capped off with post-game fireworks presented by the Home Runs for Mental Health partners.

On Saturday, June 16, the Sky Sox will host their ever-popular theme night during each season - STAR WARS Night - presented by DaVita Medical Group. On this night, Security Service Field will be taken over by Storm Troopers and other movie characters throughout the game for fans to meet, interact with, and take photos with. The first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a free light saber. Additionally, there will be a STAR WARS-themed fireworks show following Saturday night's game.

The afternoon will also feature a Kids Glove giveaway presented by The Navigators and will be given to the first 1,000 kids 12 and under through the gates.
