Durham Bulls Release 2012 Schedule

The Durham Bulls today announced the release of their 2012 schedule. For the first time since 2009 the Bulls will begin their season at home on Thursday, April 5^th against division-rival Gwinnett Braves at 7:05 PM.

Capping the 2012 season is the Triple-A National Championship game to be held at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Tuesday, September 18^th at 7:05 PM. It will mark the first time in almost 30 years the Triple-A Championship will be held east of the Mississippi River.

“Even though this past week we fell a little short of our expectations for this season we are really excited about the schedule and National Championship game next season,” Durham Bulls General Manager Mike Birling said, “It’s a great schedule for the fans which hopefully will feature a league-record sixth straight division title.”

The schedule has several favorable features, including:

• A family-friendly, 64% of home dates in April on weekends
• Both Pawtucket (Boston Red Sox) and Scranton Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) visit the DBAP with games on $1 Thursdays and Friday night fireworks.
• A July 4^th matchup with the Norfolk Tides
