Families can enjoy fireworks immediately after the game and children will get a chance to run the bases. Later families with campout tickets can pitch their tents on the baseball field. A movie will be shown on the video screen once all the tents are set up.

Fans are encouraged to order tickets in advance online or by calling Matt McCann at 301-464-4885. Tickets are $10 per person and include box seat tickets. Spots on the field for tents must be reserved when tickets are ordered. Two food voucher options are also available.

All camping equipment should remain in cars until after the game when fans will be allowed to leave the stadium and then re-enter. Tents that must be staked are not permitted and fans are prohibited from using grills, open flames or cooking equipment. These precautions are taken to protect the field.
