The season begins on Tuesday, May 26. Tuesdays will again be Cheap Seat Tuesdays, with $3 tickets, $2 Busch Lights as well as hot dog and fountain soda specials. Opening Night will also have Magnet Schedules for the first 250 fans, and fireworks after the game.

The Dans Band will be back this year entertaining fans between innings on June 2 (a doubleheader starting at 5:30 pm), June 23 and July 28. And on June 20 we’ll celebrate the 80^th anniversary of Danville Stadium.

Another special night will be Baseball Unplugged, a step back in time with no walk-up music, no PA announcements and no videoboard.

For the first time in 14 years, the Dans will have a new field manager, as Eric Coleman is not returning to Danville. Taking the reins is Cameron Gross, who is an assistant at IU Columbus. He’s previously coached summer ball in Florida and played in the Prospect League as a Kokomo Jackrabbit.

Other nightly specials include 217 Night on Thursdays, with two tickets and two Busch Lights are just $17. And Friday night features Happy Hour, with $1 off all draft beers from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
