SAUGET, IL — The Gateway Grizzlies have announced their schedule for the 2024 Frontier League season. It will be the club’s 23rd season as members of the Frontier League with all home games scheduled to be played at Grizzlies Ballpark.
Gateway will open the new season next May, on the road with a six-game trip beginning on Friday, May 10, against the Lake Erie Crushers in Ohio. After a three-game series in Evansville the following week, the Grizzlies will celebrate Opening Night at Grizzlies Ballpark on Friday, May 17, against the Windy City ThunderBolts, kicking off a three-game series.
Following another six-game road swing, from May 28 to June 27, the Grizzlies will play a stretch of 18 out of 27 games at home. Six of their road games in that span come when the team travels up north to Canada to take on the Ottawa Titans and reigning league champion Quebec Capitales from June 4-9.
That lengthy stretch at home continues into the month of July when the Grizzlies celebrate Independence Day in Sauget, hosting the newest team in the Frontier League, the New England club from Brockton, Massachusetts, at Grizzlies Ballpark from July 2-4.
The holiday week set represents one of two home series the team will play against an East Division club, along with the New Jersey Jackals coming to Grizzlies Ballpark from July 30-August 1.
All game times and the team’s full schedule of fun promotional nights will be determined at a later date.
