Football at the Ballpark

On Sunday, the Florence Freedom have one question for you. Are you ready for some football?

This Sunday, August 17, at 5:05 pm, the Florence Freedom will have “Are You Ready for Some Football Night” at UC Health Stadium when they take on the Joliet Slammers. The giveaway item for this event is a bobblehead of the dynamic Cincinnati Bengals running back, Giovani Bernard. For those of you who do not know who the Florence Freedom are, they are a Frontier League baseball team located in Florence, KY.

This will be the third and final Freedom bobblehead giveaway game of the year. Earlier this year, the Freedom gave out nodders of Shakey Shaw, owner of Shakey’s Pub and Grub, and of John Calipari, head basketball coach for the University of Kentucky. I did not got to these bobblehead games as I did not really care for the Shaw nodder, and I am a Louisville Cardinals fan so getting the Calipari bobblehead would have been sacrilege.

Being a diehard fan of the Bengals, attaining the Giovani Bernard bobblehead is a must, so I will be attending the game. There is a picture of the bobblehead on the Florence Freedom website, and it looks pretty cool.

Tickets for the game can be purchased online or at UC Health Stadium for as low as $10. Members of the eFlock, the Florence Freedom online newsletter club, can purchase tickets for as low as $8. If you are a fan of the Freedom, the Bengals, or both, you definitely want to consider going to this game to get the Bernard bobblehead.

Go Freedom and Who-Dey!
