Busy weekend at Trop: All Pro Dad event, Smash Mouth after A's game
Tropicana Field is going to be pretty busy this weekend.
- First up the Tampa Bay Rays are hosting an All Pro Dads event
beginning at 9:00. this morning on the field. It’s part of the fatherhood program, All Pro Dad, started by former coach and now NBC football analyst Tony Dungy 12 years ago. The 2 1/2-hour event will include games for kids, bonding activities for dads and their children and advice for dads from Rays players, Gabe Gross and Lance Cormier. It’s $15 for one dad and up to four kids. For information, go to the All Pro Dad Web site or call (813) 222-8300.
- Later today, get your game on when the light-and-sunny retro rockers Smash Mouth will be giving a free show after the Rays play the Oakland A's. Game time is 6:08 p.m. The concert is free with game admission. Tickets are $13 and at Ticketmaster or call toll-free 1-888-326-729. They'll do their hits Walking on the Sun, All Star and I'm A Believer.
- And then on Sunday during Family Fun Day, the first 10,000 kids ages 14 and under who attend the 1:38 p.m. game will get a Carl Crawford bobblehead. It's fitting that just a few days before the All-Star Game, all-star Crawford gets the bobblehead treatment. Tropicana Field is at 1 Stadium Drive, St. Petersburg.
