The popular Famous San Diego Chicken also makes his first stop at Greer Stadium in six years on Thursday. The Chicken is the jester among the jerseys. He is what everyone wants him to be, prancing in a spiritual space on a creative odyssey. Or to put it simply, he plays the class clown for all those who wish they never grew up. First pitch is 7:05pm and gates open at 5:35pm.

Nashville’s second game with the Zephyrs begins at 7:05pm on Friday. With Firestone Friday Fireworks on tap after the game, it is another great night to come out to the ballpark. Gates open at 5:35pm.

Saturday’s 6:35pm homestand finale with New Orleans ends with a bang, as postgame fireworks follow the action on the field for the second of back-to-back fireworks nights. Gates open at 5:35pm.

Following the homestand, Nashville will open an eight-game road trip against the Oklahoma City RedHawks and division-rival Memphis Redbirds before the three-day Triple-A All-Star break in mid-July.
