Mayor Domenic J. Sarno received his season tickets for the Springfield Thunderbirds home games on Friday afternoon from Frank Grimaldi, Manger for Ticket Operations and Retention, and is excited to cheer on our beloved Springfield Thunderbirds on opening night this Saturday. There are limited tickets left, so hurry down and purchase your ticket to cheer on our T-Birds as they make another run to bring home the Calder Cup to Springfield.
Mayor Sarno states, “How bout them T-Birds! As a longtime season ticket holder, my family, wife Carla and daughters Cassandra and Chiara, and I are looking forward to cheering on our beloved Thunderbirds on opening night to a sellout crowd. It was an exciting day to pick up my tickets from Frank as the T-Birds and St. Louis Blues just made their affiliation extension announcement – 7 more years of great partnerships! Let’s pack the ‘Thunderdome’ and make another magical run for the Cup!”
Mayor Sarno continued, “We are proud to congratulate T-Birds President Nate Costa and his team, and our local ownership group led by managing partner Paul Picknelly, for their continued belief and investment in making our local AHL hockey team such a wonderful and overwhelming success. I am looking forward to the excitement of opening night this Saturday and seeing everyone at the game cheering on our beloved T-Birds. Our friends at the MassMutual Center have also brought in additional new vendors with even more food and beverage options for fans to enjoy. The energy and vibrancy in our downtown on game days is simply tremendous and electrifying. Not to mention all of the positive economic spin off to local businesses, including bars, restaurants and hotels. We will also be hosting the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony activities downtown this weekend and remind residents to look out for upcoming traffic advisories.”
The Springfield Thunderbirds will host the Laval Rockets to open their season on Saturday, October 12th at 7:05pm. For more information, please visit their website at: www.springfieldthunderbirds.com
