Mar 5, 2023 | Sports Scene

The Rochester Americans are scheduled for seven home games during a busy month of March, highlighted by the return of several special and popular theme nights.

Friday, March 10: Irish Night, presented by Rohrbach Brewing Company

The always-popular Irish Night, presented Rohrbach Brewing Company, returns on Friday, March 10 when the team hosts the Hartford Wolf Pack at The Blue Cross Arena.

Start your St. Patrick’s Day weekend celebrations off right at The Blue Cross Arena, where the first 2,000 fans will receive Amerks and Rohrbach-branded steins. Among the steins, 100 will include a voucher to participate in The Pot of Gold punch board, located in The Hall of Fame in the Genesee Brew House, for a chance to win a prize.

The Irish Night festivities begin with an Amerks Happy Hour from 6 to 7 p.m. in The Hall of Fame in the Genesee Brew House, where fans ages 21 and over can enjoy Genesee and Genesee Light drafts for just $2. There will also be live music from the band “1916” during Happy Hour and the first intermission. Formed as an acoustic pub act in 2006, the band 1916 has “transformed into the hardest hitting Irish Rock band this side of Dublin!” The game will also feature bagpipers as well as Irish music and dancers.

Sunday, March 12: Halfway to Halloween Night, presented by Pepsi

What was formerly Sweets in the Suites Night has been rebranded to Halfway to Halloween Night, presented by Pepsi, but will still feature the same family-friendly Halloween fun when the Amerks host the Toronto Marlies on Sunday, March 12 at The Blue Cross Arena.

Kids are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite Halloween costumes for the game. Children ages 12 or younger will have the opportunity to trick-or-treat on the suite level during intermissions as well as the chance to participate in other costume-themed promotions, including a mummy-wrapping contest and bobbing for apples.

Tickets for kids ages 3-12 can be purchased for just $10 with additional tickets for adults starting at $19. Tickets are not required for fans ages 2 or younger.

Wednesday, March 15: Global Recycling Day, presented by Sunnking

Global Recycling Day, presented by Sunnking, returns on Wednesday, March 15 when the Amerks take on the Laval Rocket.

To look the part, the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive custom Amerks zubaz-style socks. Select fans will also have the chance to win autographed Bills merchandise and other team apparel throughout the game.

The Amerks players will sport new specialty Bills-inspired jerseys for the game (to be unveiled in advance later this month) that will be auctioned off to benefit Golisano Children’s Hospital. The online auction, powered by DASH, a sport-focused online auction platform and partner of the Amerks, will be open for bidding beginning the week of the game.

The Amerks will also incorporate several elements of Buffalo’s game presentation, including the legendary “Shout” song that has become a staple of Bills games, as well as the train horn. The “Stampede,” the popular drumline known for their performances at each Bills home game, will also be on hand for the game.
