Those activities will run from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm and will have an associated fee.
At 7:00 pm, the Cost Cutters Field at Riverfront Stadium 474 square foot LED video board will be showing the PG rated movie “Rookie of the Year.” The movie runs 103 minutes.
The Concessions Stand will be open, and individuals are encouraged to bring their blankets and lawn chairs to watch the movie on the field. Outside food and drink are not allowed in.
The Bucks return home for a four-game homestand tonight as they face the Bismarck Larks at 6:35 pm at Cost Cutters Field at Riverfront Stadium where the team welcomed a new state of the art video board in 2016 thanks to a matching grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association.
