When does the game end?
Like the major leagues, the Cougars
play a nine inning game (extra innings
in case of ties) without a time limit.
While most nine inning games are played
in approximately two hours and thirty
minutes, some games take longer and some
games are completed more quickly.
Incidentally, in the event of a
double-header (two consecutive games in
one day) each game is only seven innings
long, by league rule.

Is the game still on?
This is the single-most common
question asked when the weather is
questionable. Games are always on as
scheduled in the days leading up to each
game. On the day of the game, weather
forecasts are continuously evaluated at
the ballpark but since the weather here
changes (for better and worse) often,
games are rarely cancelled any more than
two hours before the scheduled start
time.
Of course, you are welcome to inquire
anytime, but if it’s any more than 3
hours before the scheduled game time you
will almost certainly be informed “the
game is still on”.
If a game is cancelled, it is first
posted on our website homepage. Area
radio stations are next to be notified
and many include updates in their
newsbreaks.
TOP
Are food and drinks
available at the ballpark?
YES, the Cougars offer a complete
line of ballpark favorites and lots of

entrée down with an ice cold Pepsi
Product, bottled water, or (if you’re of
age) Miller, Budweiser, Goose Island and
many other imported beers.

Will the players sign
autographs?
YES, most players are usually happy to
sign autographs for their fans.
Remember, they don’t always have a pen
and before the game begins is the best
time to meet them. Watch for special
“Autograph Sessions” when fans are
allowed to come onto the field and meet
the players for pictures and autographs.
These typically occur for 10 minutes in
the last half hour before game time. By
league rule, players are not allowed to
sign autographs during the game.

Will you make announcements
during the game?
YES, we are happy to announce guests
birthdays, anniversaries and even the
occasional marriage proposal as time
allows during the game. Visit the
Customer Service Booth on the third base
side of the ballpark before the game
begins to request your announcement.
There is no charge for this service but
please understand, due to the volume of
requests received, we cannot promise to
make all of the announcements requested,
but we’ll sure try.

What are Rain Checks?
If a game is OFFICIALLY rained out each

destroy them). If a group of four has
tickets for a game that is rained out,
they must present four rain checks
(tickets for the rained out date) to
receive four tickets for their new date
of choice in exchange. A suspended game
ticket will be redeemable for select
dates.
