The Keys celebrate the weekends by setting off fireworks. Those are great times to bring out the whole family to enjoy the show.  For LHS students, the Keys games are a great way to gather a few friends and have an inexpensive afternoon or evening out.

Monday is Kids Eat Free day. Kids under 12 get a free voucher for a free hot dogs, chips, and a drink.

Frederick has a “Guaranteed win Tuesday” every Tuesday. Which means that if the Keys don’t win their games on Tuesdays, the fans will receive a free ticket to a future game.

Wednesday is another special weekday at the stadium. “Wear Orange Wednesday” is when all fans that are wearing orange Keys or Orioles gear to the office box will receive “buy one get one free” tickets.  

Seinfeld Night is Saturday June 17th when John O’Hurley, who plays J. Peterman on Seinfeld, will be at the stadium at 6 p.m. He will be signing autographs and greeting fans.

July 21st is when the Keys celebrate Christmas. Keyote, the mascot for the Keys, will present one lucky fan with a cruise, from Holiday Cruise Frederick.

Check out the Frederick Keys promotion schedule to see when more fun days will be.

Frederick Keys tickets don’t ever cost over $15. Children two and under are admitted free.

The Keys have the Anthem Buddies package  for little league teams. Each Keys player will line up with the little league kids for the National Anthem. The package includes the chance to line up with a Keys player, vouchers for food and drinks, fun zone vouchers, 10 field seats, and 10 Key logo baseballs.

It is a time the children won’t forget.

For the die-hard fans of the Frederick Keys, every season fan families host the players. Some players when coming to Frederick have no place to stay or no transportation. Host families provided them housing and meals and can also host another player with transportation that will carpool with the other player.

If you would be interested in hosting a player or two next year, go to the Keys official website.

The Frederick Keys are a minor league baseball team that show their appreciation to their fans with activities for their families and friends. Come out to a Keys game. Bring your family and your friends!
