Guardians release 2024 promotional schedule, including Shaq concert, José Ramírez Bobblehead
CLEVELAND — Shaq is returning to Cleveland. Only this time, it's for the DJ booth instead of a basketball court.
The Guardians announced their promotional schedule and ticket on-sale date for the 2024 season, with the calendar highlighted by a postgame concernt with DJ DIESEL/Shaquille O'Neal on June 22.
That day, the Guardians host the Toronto Blue Jays at 4:10 p.m. That game also will feature a Josh Naylor bobblehead. They'll then welcome back Shaq, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer who played with the Cavaliers during the 2009-10 season, after the game concludes.

The full on-sale for single game tickets for the 2024 season will be Feb. 16 — as the team pointed out, that also happens to be "216 Day." All tickets for the 2024 season will be mobile entry, and fans will need to utilize the Ballpark app to enter Progressive Field.
Due to the recent renovations at Progressive Field, all tickets need to be purchased digitally.

The Guardians are set to open Progressive Field April 8 against the Chicago White Sox, which also happens to be the day of a total solar eclipse, the first one over Cleveland since 1806. The eclipse, plus the massive influx of traffic that day, has the Guardians' first pitch time on April 8 still to be determined.
