ROME, Ga. — The second half of the season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting stretches of the year at AdventHealth Stadium as the Rome Emperors, the High-A Minor League Affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, unveil a packed promotional schedule featuring giveaways, fireworks, specialty jerseys, family-friendly entertainment, and the highly anticipated Summer Legends celebration.
Atlanta's High-A Affiliate opens up a six-game series on Tuesday, June 23 against the Greensboro Grasshoppers, a Minor League affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The fun continues on Friday, June 26, when fans can receive a Welcome to Rome T-Shirt presented by Jim-N-Nick's BBQ.
The excitement ramps up on Saturday, June 27, during the Emperors' America 250 Celebration presented by Chick-fil-A. The night will feature specialty game-worn jerseys that will be auctioned off during the game, followed by a spectacular postgame fireworks show. Fans can also take advantage of the all-new Family Four Pack, which includes four game tickets, two Glenda Mitchell Kid Zone passes, and a parking pass, making it one of the best values of the season.
Beginning July 17 and running through August 8, the Emperors will transform into the Summer Legends, a special alternate identity celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Games. The multi-week celebration will honor one of Georgia's most iconic sporting moments while bringing nostalgic, Olympic-inspired fun to AdventHealth Stadium.

Every Wednesday is Tail Waggin' Wednesday, giving fans the opportunity to bring their dogs to the ballpark for a night of baseball.
On Throwback Thursdays, the Emperors will take the field in 1974-inspired throwback uniforms while fans enjoy discounted food and beverage specials throughout the game.
Family Sunday Funday remains a favorite for families thanks to AdventHealth Redmond. Kids receive free admission and a free meal voucher, and after the game, children are invited onto the field to run the bases.
