PromoNight shows the giveaway and theme night schedule for the teams you follow, so you can pick the game worth going to. Star your teams and PromoNight lists their upcoming promotions: bobblehead nights, jersey and shirt giveaways, theme nights, kids days, and food and drink deals. Each promo shows the date, the opponent and the start time when the team lists them, what you get, and who gets one when the team says, such as the first 10,000 fans. PromoNight covers baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer teams. Promotions come from team announcements. Teams can change or cancel a promotion, so check with the team before you go. WHEN IS THE NEXT BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT? Open your team to see its upcoming promos by date, its schedule with game times, and its venue. Or search Discover by team, giveaway, city or venue, and browse collections of bobbleheads, theme nights, jerseys, food and drink, and kids and family events. REMINDERS Turn on reminders for your teams and PromoNight sends one around 9 a.m. on the morning of each promo game. Limit them to highlighted promos, mute a team, or tap Remind me on a single promo from any team. WIDGETS Add a PromoNight widget to your Home Screen to see your next promo, or the week ahead, at a glance. Tap it to open the promo.
