The 13-time International League South Division champions will host 21 fireworks shows at the DBAP throughout the year, including Opening Day and July 3. Additionally, the Bulls are home on Easter (April 21) and Father’s Day (June 16), and close out the home schedule with a four-game series over Labor Day weekend. 11 of Durham’s final 15 games are scheduled to be held in the Bull City, as well as 17 of the last 27.
The Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, will make their annual trip to Durham for a three-game weekend series from June 14 through June 16, while the Pawtucket Red Sox, longtime affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, will visit Durham from Tuesday, July 23 through Thursday, July 25.
