MADISON, Ala. – Minor League Baseball is coming back to North Alabama with a brand-new team in a brand-new stadium on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 at 6:35 p.m. when the
Rocket City Trash Pandas play host to the Mississippi Braves.
The Trash Pandas open the 2020 Southern League season on the road, April 9th in Birmingham.
The team also announced first pitch times for their full slate of Southern League games. The Inaugural
Season schedule features 70 home games beginning Opening Day, April 15, and concluding Labor Day, Monday September 7, 2020. Generally, Monday through Thursday night games begin at 6:35 p.m., Friday night games begin at 7:05 p.m., and Saturday night games begin at 6:05 p.m. The schedule also includes early-season Sundays at 2:05 p.m. and summer Sundays at 5:05 p.m.
“After so many fantastic events leading to actual baseball, from the naming contest, the logo and uniform reveals, season ticket holder parties, and the great days bonding with fans in our store, it is amazing to think we’ll be playing ball in just over eight months,” said Trash Pandas CEO, Ralph
Nelson. “I’ve said it repeatedly: no community has ever embraced a team like North Alabama has the Trash Pandas. We cannot wait to show our fans what we have planned for them at the ballpark.”
In addition to regular games, the 2020 schedule features the following special games:
● April 29, 12:05 p.m. – Mid-Week Businessperson / Student Special vs. Montgomery Biscuits

on every homestand.
