Fireworks, promotions and more: Check out the Stockton Ports schedule for the 2024 season
Opening weekend for the Stockton Ports has come and gone as another summer-filled of Minor League Baseball is underway in the 209.
The Oakland A’s Single-A affiliate hosted the Modesto Nuts in its first three-game series of the 2024 season. The Ports are looking for a fresh start this year after finishing last season with a 50-82 record.
“I think there was a certain buzz around the ballpark and surrounding the Stockton Ports that I haven't felt in a while,” said Jordan Feneck, Stockton Ports’ General Manager. “I think over the years since we've had this current staff in place, we've really taken big leaps operationally, to where we provide the fans in our ballpark the best experience possible.”
The buzz was undeniable as opening weekend saw over 7,000 fans with the April 6 game peaking at 3,182 fans in attendance. Those at Sunday's game saw the Ports pick up their first win of the season beating Modesto 4-2. They would lose the series 1-2 and will be on the road for their next series against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes on April 9.
When the Ports return to Stockton, its home crowd will have an abundance of gameday festivities to enjoy throughout the season.
“There's one really new promotional that I'm excited for, It's our 'Space Jam' night,” Feneck said. “It's kind of funny because we're a baseball team doing a basketball promotion, but we've seen how popular basketball jerseys are lately and so we’re doing a Ports-themed Space Jam basketball jersey giveaway.”
