Today the St. Louis Cardinals released the 2016 promotional schedule complete with more than 50 giveaway items for ticketed-fans.
This year’s amplified schedule features many fan-favorites including seven bobbleheads, three replica rings, two sweatshirts, and seven replica jerseys, as well as brand-new items like the Adult Dress Socks (June 19), Cardinals Cooler Backpack (July 3), and Cardinals Pillbox Baseball Cap (July 4).
In addition to having an increased number of items on the 2016 schedule, the Cardinals are providing more fans the opportunity to take home a promotional giveaway by increasing the item quantity from 25,000 to 30,000 for the majority of giveaways.
“On giveaway dates, we see our fans lining up outside the stadium hours before gates open just to get the promo item, “said Megan Eberhart, Manager of Promotions and Events. “By increasing the quantity we offer at each game, we’re able to reward even more fans for their dedication to this team and also alleviate some of those lines.”
Throughout the entire 2016 season, the Cardinals will commemorate the 10thanniversary of the 2006 World Championship team. To celebrate, fans will take home a Replica 2006 World Series Championship Trophy (June 3), Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina “Final Out” Dual Bobblehead celebrating the last out of the 2006 World Series (June 4), and a David Eckstein Bobblehead courtesy of Coca-Cola and Dierbergs (October 1). The Cardinals will honor the 2006 team during a special 2006 World Series Anniversary Weekend July 15 through 17. Members of the team will be on hand for the occasion and fans will take home commemorative items like the 2006 World Series Championship Beer Stein courtesy of Budweiser (July 15), Replica 2006 World Series Championship Mystery Player Ring (July 16), and Adult Replica Home White 2006 Mystery Player Jersey courtesy of AT&T (July 17).
This season the Cardinals will also celebrate 10 years of Busch Stadium III – which opened in April of 2006 – with two giveaways for fans: a Replica Busch Stadium III model with lights, courtesy of Ameren Missouri (April 15), and an Adult Replica Yadier Molina Home White Jersey featuring a special 10th anniversary Busch Stadium III patch similar to the one the team will wear during the first homestand of 2016 (April 17).
