Additionally, the first 2,000 fans in the gate will get a Mallards themed pull tab that will feature great ballpark prizes on each ticket from wieners to the chance to coach first base during the game!

There will be cheese curds, a Wisconsin animal petting zoo, polka music, specially themed merchandise, cheese basket raffles and more!
