RoughRiders promo schedule packed with more wacky nights, including tribute to Friends
The Frisco RoughRiders are there for you.
Especially on April 5 when they kick off another season of fun promotions, giveaways and theme nights at Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco. A full list of theme nights, giveaways and promotions is below.
The season for the Texas Rangers’ Double A affiliate starts April 4 and single-night tickets go on sale Friday. The RoughRiders aren’t wasting any time coming hard with the wacky theme nights either. The second game of the season has been deemed “The One With the RoughRiders,” a tribute to Friends, the sitcom. Actor James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther, the coffee barista who lusted after Rachel, will be on hand for a meet and greet.
The Ballpark’s Bull Moose Saloon will be converted into Central Perk, the coffee shop the Friends gang spent so much time. Two Riders sales staff members Ross Lanford and Monica Man will take photos and sign autographs for fans. We’re assuming they’ll be made up to resemble something close to characters Ross and Monica Geller.
Other promotions include 24 post-game fireworks nights on Fridays, plus a few extra nights including Opening Day on April 4 and July 3. Other promotions include Party @ The Yard every Thursday, Kids Sunday Funday, and Multicultural Festival on April 20, which will include a pre-game cricket demonstration and Riders-themed crickets bats for the first 1,000 fans.
The Aug. 22 Party @ The Yard will have a Fyre Festival theme so get ready for some mind-blowing ham and cheese sandwiches.
