Shorebirds offer affordable specials for fans in 2009

If you're looking to attend any games at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury this summer, be sure to check the day of the week.

The Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds will be offering specials for each day during the regular season in an attempt to attract fans to the ballpark.

"We understand times are tough for everyone right now, but we want all of our fans to know there are plenty of affordable options available," Shorebirds general manager Chris Bitters said in a statement.

Here is a list of the daily promotions for the Shorebirds in 2009:

$5 Monday Madness -- On Mondays during the regular season, fans can buy a package that includes a general admission ticket, small hot dog and small soft drink for only $5.

$15 Chow Down Tuesday buffet -- The Shorebirds are offering an all-you-can-eat special on Tuesdays in 2009. For $15 in advance (or $18 if you walk up to the stadium), you'll receive a ticket to the game and access to a buffet for 1 1/2 hours. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, peanuts and soft drinks are included in the deal.

$10 Silver Sluggers for seniors and baseball bingo -- Wednesday games give all fans the opportunity to win Shorebirds souvenirs as part of the baseball bingo promotion. Senior citizens also can purchase membership into the Silver Sluggers club for $10, which includes a general admission ticket to all 11 home games on Wednesdays, a complimentary hat and the chance to meet select Shorebirds players.

Thirsty Thursday -- All fans 21 and over are invited to attend games on Thursday nights at Perdue Stadium and purchase 12-ounce draft beers for $1.50 each. That's not a bad idea, particularly for a team that plays so close to the vacation destination in Ocean City.

Friday Fun Pack -- For $40, you'll receive four general admission tickets, four combo meals (hot dog, chips and a soft drink), four amusement ride coupons, a Shorebirds logo baseball and coupons to select restaurants.

Saturday fireworks -- Following every Saturday game at Perdue Stadium, the Shorebirds will provide a fireworks display for fans.

Sunday Funday -- On Sundays, kids are permitted to run the bases and play catch in the outfield following the game. Also, if you bring a Burger King receipt to the Shorebirds box office, you'll be able to buy a general admission ticket for $1. For $15, kids can also join the Sherman Sidekicks club. Membership includes a general admission ticket to all eight Sunday home games, a free T-shirt, a bracelet and a field day with the Shorebirds mascot and select players. Finally, there is the opportunity to take the field with the Shorebirds every Sunday. Parents of Sidekicks can purchase general admission tickets to each Sunday home game for $40.

Certain rules and regulations apply, and all promotions are subject to change without notice. For the Shorebirds' 2009 schedule, or a complete list of promotions and special events visit the team's Web site.

Today was the third of eight Sherman Sidekicks games. They have yet to let the kids take the field with the players.
I think there's some bait and switch going on.
