TinCaps tickets on sale Feb. 22

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Fort Wayne TinCaps will put single-game tickets for the 2011 season on sale on Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 10 a.m. Highlighted events include Opening Day, a four-game series featuring the Triple-A Tucson Padres and a team-record 25 fireworks shows.

Fans can order tickets online at TinCaps.com, by phone at (260) 482-6400 or in person at the Parkview Field box office, located at the corner of Ewing and Brackenridge Streets in downtown Fort Wayne.

"We look forward to this day every year because it's a sure sign baseball season is almost here," TinCaps president Mike Nutter said. "Parkview Field has been a great atmosphere since it opened and we're prepared for that excitement to continue in 2011.

Single-game ticket prices for all regular-season games remain unchanged from the past two seasons, when the TinCaps set franchise attendance records.

"We'll continue with the fan favorites: Family Feast Mondays, Thirsty Thursdays, post-game autographs on Sundays, Jake the Diamond Dog and of course the Bad Apple Dancers, plus we're planning a few new promotions for 2011," Nutter said. "Our fans appreciate the affordability and family atmosphere of TinCaps games, so that's what we highlight."

For the first time, the San Diego Padres' Triple-A affiliate will come to Fort Wayne. The Tucson Padres will play a four-game weekend series against the Las Vegas 51s (Triple-A Toronto Blue Jays) on July 14-17. Several members of the TinCaps' 2009 Midwest League championship team are expected to make a one-time return trip to Parkview Field as Tucson Padres.
