In an alternate universe the St. Paul Saints sixth season at CHS Field opens with all the pomp and circumstance of a home opener, a sold out crowd watching a banner raising ceremony, getting another look at the 2019 championship trophy, and a chance to put a tidy bow on their title run by honoring last season’s team. Instead, the Saints are setting up for the most unique start to a season in franchise history with the first, and hopefully only, Nopening Day.
The Saints will combine the nostalgia of their first game at CHS Field in 2015 with virtual “stay at home” promotions, capped off by a live Xcel Energy fireworks display from CHS Field all while watching from the comfort of your home.
The day begins with a “Nopening Day” curbside pick-up t-shirt giveaway to the first 500 in front of CHS Field. From 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM fans can pull their car up to Broadway St. between 5th and 6th Streets to pick up this one of a kind giveaway.
The gameday festivities begin at 6:00 PM via the Saints Facebook and Twitter platforms (@stpaulsaints) with the pre-game celebrations from May 21, 2015, the first game in CHS Field history. First pitch between the Saints and
Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks is set for 6:45 PM. During the broadcast, those tuning in will have a chance to win prizes throughout the night.
