Washington Wild Things News Release


WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Washington Wild Things have announced the organization's 2023 promotional schedule. The 2023 season is the 21st in the Frontier League for the club and, as usual, the team has plenty of tap including theme nights, giveaways, charitable endeavors and programs that appeal to families, kids, seniors and young adults. Plus, the team will have its usual daily promotions and more.

Individual game tickets will go on sale Monday, April 3 at 10 a.m. Single-game tickets are $15, with a daily discount for kids 12 years of age and younger, fans 50 years of age or older and military, at $10. Group packages start at $10 a seat as well.

Game times remain the same as the 2022 season: 7:05 p.m. for Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday home dates, 6:05 p.m. for Wednesday home games and 5:35 p.m. on Sundays. The Wild Things Park gates open an hour and five minutes before each scheduled first pitch.

"Our team has worked really hard the past few months on this massive promotional schedule. Every year we look to raise the bar, introduce new theme nights and bring our fans the best giveaways in baseball," said president and general manager Tony Buccilli. "Nights at the ballpark will be full of energy and entertainment, and soon enough the stands will be full of fans from across the Tri-State."

Things get underway with Opening Night presented by Webber Advisors Tuesday, May 16. The season kicks off with a bang as the Wild Things host the New York Boulders in what is scheduled as the fourth game of the season after the team starts in Evansville. May 16 is also Stroke Awareness Night presented by Neuroaxis Rehabilitation Services.

Wednesdays will highlight the Senior Slugger Program, presented by AARP Pennsylvania, which provides a free ticket to fans 50 years of age and older. The program was announced March 13. More information and a registration link for the program are available here.

Thursdays will also feature $1 Coors Light drafts at the Beer Wagon in right field, specialty cocktails and drinks at the Deep Eddy Cocktail Bar located adjacent to the Beer Wagon, and special themes.
