Join the Hooks as they ride into Rodeo Weekend wearing special-edition uniforms. The Budweiser Clydesdales will take a pregame tour around the ballpark on Friday, May 6, with mutton busting setting the stage for postgame fireworks. Please note the special 3:05 start time Saturday, allowing fans to enjoy the Buc Day’s Illuminated Night Parade.
A ticket from the May 3-8 Hooks homestand will act as a FREE Buc Days single-day, gate-entry ticket, providing access to the Stripes Carnival, Treasure Island, Buckin’ Marlin Stage, BBQ on the Bay, and other non-Arena attractions.
