Some fan-favorite theme nights with specialty jerseys are making their return for the 2026-27 season. Specialty jersey nights are our Premium Games, subject to differing ticket pricing. Pink in the Rink, presented by The Iowa Clinic, will take place October 10th, during breast cancer awareness month. Veterans Appreciation & Scouts Night will take place November 13th. Farmers Appreciation, presented by Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance is January 2nd; our annual Guns N Hoses matchup is February 20th; and Barkaneers Night is March 6th.
The Bucs are adding on an additional specialty jersey night this season, celebrating trade workers all across Iowa! Hard Hat Appreciation Night will take place March 27th.
What fun is a theme night without dressing up? The Bucs would love to see YOU participate in our dress-to-the-theme games throughout the season. Margaritaville, 80s Night, Country Night, and more! We can't wait to see what you have to bring.
Bucs games are for kids, too! We have various games throughout the season dedicated to our young fans. October 3rd is Kids Opening Day, December 4th is Youth Sports Night, and March 10th is Winger's Birthday! The Bucs will also be hosting a school-day game on Tuesday, March 2nd, at 11 a.m.
Friday nights are all 2-for-1 beer and Fireball Fridays! Enjoy 2 drinks for the price of 1 through the end of the first period and $3 off Fireball drinks. Fridays are also Kwik Star BOGO tickets. Bring in your Kwik Star receipt and get two tickets for the price of one. Saturdays are all Tito's Saturday. Enjoy $3 off all Tito's drinks!
