Hey Hoosiers, we’re taking you out to the ballgame because Tuesday, April 2 marks the opening night for the Indianapolis Indians’ 122nd season.

To make opening week a real home run, Victory Field is celebrating with themed nights. Here are a few of our favorites:
  • Opening Night | Tuesday, April 2 | 6:35 p.m. | The Indians are offering $1 concessions and a 60-degree weather guarantee — if the temperature is below 60 degrees at first pitch, fans receive a ticket voucher for another April home game.
  • Friday Fireworks | Friday, April 5 | 7:05 p.m. | Bring the family and have a blast with postgame fireworks — plus, receive a pair of Total Solar Eclipse approved glasses when you arrive at the ballpark.
  • Bike to the Ballpark | Saturday, April 6 | 6:35 p.m. | Meet at Sun King Brewery downtown and roll over to Victory Field with a group + celebrate with Sun King’s Path of Totality Beer, available for Eclipse Weekend.
  • Bark in the Park | Thursday, April 18 | 6:35 p.m. | Bring your furry friends to the ballpark to enjoy the game from the left and center field lawns. Dog tickets are $7. Each dog must be accompanied by at least one human.
  • Indy 500 Night | Saturday, April 20 | 6:35 p.m. | Start your engines and head to Victory Field to catch racing-themed in-game entertainment.
