The South Bend Cubs have announced the promotions they will be running this season at Four Winds Field. The promotions include 18 fireworks nights and 23 giveaways.

The South Bend Cubs says the promotions this year are based on input received from the fans.

“At the end of the 2016 season, we asked our fans what they liked and didn’t like about the promotional schedule,” said South Bend Cubs Director of Media and Promotions Chris Hagstrom-Jones. “Our number one goal has always been to provide an affordable, family friendly atmosphere. With ideas and suggestions from our fans, we have put together a schedule with more giveaways and theme nights than ever before.”

A new addition this season comes on Wednesdays as the South Bend Cubs will celebrate the Chicago Cubs World Series victory with World Champion Wednesdays. Every Wednesday night game, the South Bend Cubs will feature a giveaway item or special promotion that focuses on the first World Championship for the Cubs in 108 years. Each Wednesday will also spotlight a key moment from the World Series during the game.
