- Thirsty Thursdays - Thursdays: Every Thursday (with the exception of opening day), fans will be able to take advantage of drink specials from the times the gates open through one hour into the game.

- Spikes Spectacular - Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: Every weekend the Spikes will feature special family-fun activities and entertainment on the concourse for an hour prior to the game.
