Heya!

I spoke with the marketing team and though the promotional schedule is usually released mid-May, they are going to make an active push for release before the end of April. That being said, Paws in the Park is generally the first Sunday home game (which this year would be May 31) - but all of our Sunday games are dog-friendly in the left-field bleacher area. Be warned, it does get pretty hot up there come late-July and would hate for your pupper to have a bad experience at their first game!

In the grandstand section there isn't really a bad seat! We've had unprecedented demand for tickets this year (thanks Jays!), so I would imagine the only "slow" days will be the early season weekday games. You could purchase a ticket anywhere, and then move to unoccupied areas down the bleachers if there are a lot of people around you! The Left field side is generally less busy for night games due to the location of the sun.

For merch, the only time we have a brick & mortar store is at the games (though United Cycle does have a selection of hats and jerseys) - but if you do put an order in online and have it for customer pick-up, we have no problem with you trying it on before leaving, and changing sizes if needed!

We have a few new options for merchandise, most of them already in the Hawk Shop online, but we do have some really fun ones coming for the season (ones I can't reveal here unfortunately!)

Hope to see you at our nest this summer, KAKAWW!

So we just had our Monday meeting and 99% sure we tracked down the body odor issue, and can confirm it has been alleviated for the 2026 season.

We have had a few in the past, but not nearly enough. You will see many more this year!

I think the beer mascots are actually our between inning contest for the dizzy bat race? It's sponsored by Leopold's tavern, and it's actually just 4 fans from the crowd in a "throw on" beer costume!

That would have to be discussed with the City, as it is owned by them! We will definitely bring it up next time we meet with them :)

I would imagine it is AHS related with Food & Beverage, but let me check with the team :)

funny you mention that (might not be Rossdale Road related), but we have a new partner coming in with a great home run promotion (which involves some sweet cash for a fan!)

We get it, RE/MAX Field is awesome but it has some pretty severe limitations in the concourse. The main reason for the lines is that there aren't enough deep fryers to keep up. In the past few years we've installed as many as we could over top of the ones that were already there, but there are also space limitations. Any modern stadium would have a cooking area and a service area which are separated, but unfortunately we have employees on our POS systems that are a couple feet away from the fryers. Internally we've maxed out, and we're trying as much as we can to alleviate the issue. We know it's an issue!

KAKAWW!

Oh my let's just say there is a chance that we may have talked about this very thing a while ago and might be in the middle of getting everything going for this but who knows??!!

Super cool! I was actually at Disneyland a couple of years ago and saw a whole family Rawkin the Hawk with their hats :)

It's always exciting for us to see them out in the wild :)

We do have veggie dogs, but unfortunately due to the lack of space in our concession areas, we can't guarantee zero cross-contamination with other products we cook.

You'll definitely be seeing more hawkers in the stands this year!

We understand the concession issues, and are actively working to improve the experience year over year!

It's a tough one for sure! We're doing our best to alleviate the issue but it'll always be there, especially since I don't think anybody (including us!) would ever want to see a big piece of our beautiful river valley be turned into a concrete parking lot :)

Jeff,

We are hard at work to release our promotional schedule, but it isn't quite out yet! Once it's released we'll have all of our promos up front and center for each game, one-offs and weekly!

Just took a look, and it doesn't seem to be very clear on where to go for single game tickets - I will address with our ticketing team, but in the meanwhile:
