Memphis Redbirds News Release


MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The holidays are coming to Memphis in a big way. Deck the Diamond will return to AutoZone Park on Saturday, Nov. 21, through Sunday, Jan. 3. Guests will enter the main gates and through the plaza into a reimagined experience that is packed with even more holiday fun.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, Aug. 21 and, for a limited time only, general admission tickets will be just $12.50. The Launch Sale will end at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23.

"Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing," and there will be plenty to see at Deck the Diamond, including a 9,600-square-foot ice skating rink, 2.5 times larger than the rink featured at AutoZone Park in 2023.

Guests can skate beneath the holiday glow before heading into a walk-through holiday light display throughout the AutoZone Park concourse. Kids can get in on the fun with cookie decorating, ornament making, letters to Santa, inflatables and more. All the elves will shout, "I know him," as they visit Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.

Buyout Nights, private event rentals and group tickets are available for holiday parties of six to 6,000.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Choirs, bands and other groups can book packages to perform loud for all to hear on the sound stage at Deck the Diamond.

"We are excited to bring Deck the Diamand back," Craig Unger, president, general manager and chief elf of the Memphis Redbirds said. "We always want AutoZone Park to be a destination where families can spend time together and make lasting memories, and we'd like to add family holiday traditions to that list too."

As Buddy the Elf, or Chief Elf Unger, would say, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer" is to bring the whole family to Deck the Diamond.

With expanded skating, immersive holiday lights, festive activities, visits with Santa and special events throughout the season, Deck the Diamond is designed to become a holiday tradition for families across the Mid-South.
