Dollar Beer, Postgame Concert On Tap at McKechnie Field

A weekend series between the Bradenton Maruaders and St. Lucie Mets will feature a battle on the field and a party in the stands.

The Marauders host the St. Lucie Mets at McKechnie Field for a three-game series starting on Friday. The Mets eliminated the Marauders from the 2011 playoffs and posted the Florida State League’s best record in 2012. The series features the first of five concerts in the first-ever Marauders Concert Series—a postgame performance by Tampa rock group Pitbull Toddler. 

Friday, April 12 is a Happy Hour Friday presented by Pier 22 Restaurant. Between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., there will be 500 free hot dogs given away at the outfield concessions stand and $1 domestic drafts and $1 fountain sodas from Kayem and Cheney Brothers at the Kona Bar built by NDC Construction and the Yuengling Plaza Bar. 

After the game on Saturday, April 13, Pitbull Toddler will perform on the right field boardwalk. A ticket to the game is required to attend the concert. The band has been performing since 2008, and is made up of members from the Cowhead Show, a fixture on Tampa radio for more than two decades.

The series concludes Sunday, April 14. All Sunday games at McKechnie Field are Wendy’s Family Fun Sundays, meaning all tickets are only $1 and regular-size Kayem hot dogs cost only $1. Tickets must be purchased at the McKechnie Field ticket office to get the $1 pricing. After Sunday games, children 13 and younger can run the bases in the Kids Fun Run presented by Mosaic.
