Peoria is swinging for the fences with a lineup of spring training specials at the Peoria Sports Complex this week, headlined by the can't-miss deal of Friday's Spring Breakout Game where fans can catch the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners for a mere $5 a pop. In a move that's sure to hit a home run with families and avid baseball enthusiasts alike, this seven-inning exhibition game on March 15 will not only feature the clubs' top prospects but do so at a price that's less than a ballpark hotdog.
The bargains don't just stop there. To truly knock it out of the park, the Peoria Sports Complex has rolled out discounts for America's bravest and best. According to their latest announcement, Today, March 12 is dubbed Hometown Heroes Day. Veterans and those currently serving in the military are eligible to save to quickly snag 25% off on tickets for select games. Proof of service is a must, and there's a cap of four tickets per game — purchases are strictly in-person at the ticket office.
The appreciation extends to those who save lives in hospitals, with Wednesday, March 13 marked as Medical Professionals Appreciation Day. The drill is similar: active and retired healthcare workers can get a 25% ticket discount, proof of profession required. First responders can grab the same deal on Thursday, March 14, proving that Peoria knows how to tip its cap to community heroes. Tickets for these special offers are also available only at the ticket office with an identical four-ticket limit.
And for pet lovers, Friday's game doubles as 'Bark at the Park'. Sponsored by Petco, the event welcomes fans to bring their furry friends for $5, which will be funneled to support animal health and wellness initiatives. The pooch party is situated at Gate C, with leashed dogs only, please.
Rounding out the week on Sunday, March 17, is a pitch for youthful engagement with 'Kids Run the Bases'. Parks and Recreation is calling all young ones up to age 12 to dash around the diamond post-game. Moreover, kids between 8 to 12 have the chance to immerse themselves in the baseball experience by helping out with game day activities. Spaces are limited and it's a first-come, first-served deal, so early birds might just catch more than just worms.
Peoria residents aren't left out of the loop either. They're privy to a 25% discount for up to four tickets across four games at the complex, with proof of residency required. Details and ticket purchases for all these deals and more can be found on the Peoria Sports Complex website, with concessions aimed squarely at making sure everyone can enjoy America's pastime without breaking the bank.
