Wichita, KS - The sky above Equity Bank Park is about to get a whole lot brighter and fans will not want to miss it.
The Wichita Wind Surge are excited to announce the organization's first-ever drone light shows, bringing a spectacular new postgame experience to fans on three consecutive days in September following the team's matchup against the Frisco RoughRiders.
Hundreds of synchronized drones will take to the sky, creating dazzling formations, animations and team-themed images above the ballpark.

"We can't wait to see the sky light up with drones and fireworks and give our fans another reason to stick around after the final out and put a cap on our 2026 season."
The drone shows will feature custom imagery accompanied by music designed specifically for the evening and themes.
