Calling all bobblehead fanatics: Maynard G. Mallard is back and better than ever! This is THE promotion you WON’T want to miss! These instant collectibles typically disappear less than 30 minutes after gates open, so you’ll want to arrive early. Looking at the Mallards Doppler 10,000, the weather forecast calls for 100 percent sunshine & temperatures in the low 80’s. Sounds like a perfect day to tailgate!

It’s also “Two for Tuesdays!” We’re offering 2 for 1 domestic taps, soda, and hot dogs through the 5th inning! (The same promotion will run on Monday’s as well.)
