Trash Pandas will host Summer Bash and Superhero On-Field Movie Night this weekend

MADISON – While the sound of cracks of the bat are not heard and the daily aromas of hot dogs and fresh popcorn cannot be drawn to your senses, both due to the ongoing pandemic, Toyota Field will remain busy with the continued onslaught of special events instead of the baseball of the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

The hits of summer will continue with the Summer Bash on Friday, Aug. 7. The event will feature climbing wall, games, food and drinks thanks to the Alabama Army National Guard.

Those wishing to attend the movie only, admission is $10 for adults and $8 for children 12 and younger.

“We are thrilled to continue entertaining the good people of North Alabama who have continued to support us during this difficult time,” said Josh Caray, Director of Broadcasting/Public Relations. “This year has taught us to think differently on how we use our stadium and we have succeeded by coming up with new ideas to attract fans to Toyota Field. These new events are proof-positive of that fact.”
