All Friday home games, with the exception of Opening Day, will be themed again this season as Friday Fests presented by Captain Morgan.  The first 10,000 fans* each Friday will receive a collectible T-shirt presented by the St. Petersburg Times, and there will be food and drink specials, special prize giveaways, postgame parties and much more. 
In keeping with a Rays tradition, Sundays will be Family Fun Days presented by the St. Petersburg Times, featuring activities and entertainment focused on children, including the chance to run the bases after the game.  Sundays will also have giveaways for the first 10,000 kids 14 and under including a Bobblehead series of Manny Ramirez (May 29 vs. Cleveland), B.J. Upton (June 19 vs. Florida) and Johnny Damon (July 17 vs. Boston).  In addition, the Rays will be giving away a DJ Kitty puppet (July 3 vs. St. Louis), a David Price Superhero Action Figure (Aug. 21 vs. Seattle) and an Evan Longoria Cereal Bowl and Spoon Set (September 4 vs. Baltimore).
“Our promotion schedule appeals to all Rays fans, but it has a special focus on kids and the 13 Sunday Family Fun Days,” said Rays President Matt Silverman.  “We strive to make Sundays at Tropicana Field the best entertainment option for families in Tampa Bay.”
The Rays also announced that Darius Rucker will perform at Tropicana Field following the Rays-Orioles game on Saturday, May 14, the first announced date on the 2011 Summer Concert Series presented by Hess Express as part of Rays Saturday Nights presented by Bright House Sports Network.  The remaining concert dates will be announced next month.
