SHOREBIRDS RELEASE GAME TIMES FOR 2011 SEASON

All Ticket Packages Currently On Sale

Salisbury, Md. – The Delmarva Shorebirds are pleased to release all game times for the 2011 regular season.  

Similar to year’s past, the vast majority of home games will begin at 7:05 p.m.  Sunday games will commence at 2:05 p.m. during the first half of the season and 5:05 p.m. during the second half of the season.  Arthur W. Perdue Stadium will open the curtains on the 16th season of Shorebirds baseball on April 5 with a special exhibition game against Salisbury University. 

The Shorebirds will play 7:05 p.m. games every Monday through Saturday in 2011.  There are six exceptions which are detailed below:
*Tuesday, May 3 – 10:35 a.m. (Field of Dreams)
*Thursday, May 19 – 10:35 a.m. (Field of Dreams)
*Wednesday, June 29 – 10:35 a.m. (Camp/Day Care Day)
*Sunday, July 3 – 6:05 p.m. (July 4th Celebration)
*Saturday, July 16 – 6:35 p.m. (Mountaire Faith & Family Night)
*Monday, September 5 – 2:05 p.m. (Labor Day, last game of season)

“Over the years, we have found our 7:05 p.m. start times to be most convenient and accommodating for our fans, so it’s a no-brainer to stick with it for 2011,” said general manager Chris Bitters.  “The special game times provide a nice change-of-pace to the season that I hope everyone enjoys.”

The 10:35 a.m. morning games on May 3 and May 19 are Field of Dreams days.  The Shorebirds will combine baseball and education with schools from across the Eastern Shore.  For more information on the Field of Dreams program and/or to sign your school up, contact Mike Steinhice at 410-219-3112 ext. 147.

The Wednesday, June 29 game is designed for camps and day care programs to come out and enjoy a morning Shorebirds game together. 

The Shorebirds will host their annual Independence Day Celebration on Sunday July 3 at 6:05 p.m.  The night will conclude with the most spectacular fireworks show of the season.

On July 16, the Shorebirds will host Mountaire Faith & Family Night with a special start time of 6:35 p.m.  Following the game, there will be a concert which precedes a postgame fireworks show. 

The final special start is September 5, which is the final game of the regular season.  The game will begin at 2:05 p.m. 

Exactly like last season, the Shorebirds will play at 2:05 p.m. on Sundays from April through June.  Therefore, games on April 10, May 1 and May 15 will be played at 2:05 p.m.  During the second half of the season, the Shorebirds will play 5:05 p.m. Sunday games.  The following games will be played at 5:05 p.m.: July 17, July 31 and September 4.

All four ticket plans (full season, half season, 22-game plan, 12-game plan) are now available for purchase.  The full season ticket package includes a ticket to all 70 home games plus the exhibition against Salisbury University and the 2011 SAL “Strike Out Hunger” All-Star Game.  The half season ticket plan guarantees you a ticket to 35 home games in addition to the exhibition game and the all-star game.  Both mini-plans also guarantee holders the exhibition game and the all-star game plus the number of regular season home games attached to the mini plan.
