RoughRiders Promotions Preview: Daily Themes, Alternate Identities Returning in 2026
Initial details for the Frisco RoughRiders' 2026 season suggest the return of fan-favorite promotions, including Thirsty Thursday and Alternate Identity nights.
Minor League Baseball teams heavily rely on creative promotions to help drive attendance. The Frisco RoughRiders are one of the best at creating an engaging promotional schedule to help get fans to Riders Field.
The Frisco RoughRiders are currently in the early stages of planning their promotional calendar for the 2026 season. We were able to confirm that several popular fan favorites will return.
The full, official promotional schedule is slated for release in early February, though the wish list of many fans, including myself, still includes a dedicated $1 hot dog night. I think every team needs to have $1 hot dog night.
