(January 22, 2018) — With more than three months to go until the start of the 2018 season, the defending Atlantic League Champion York Revolution has announced large portions of its promotional calendar for the coming year. Team officials said fan feedback, early planning, and the commitment of new and returning sponsors has led to what is already promising to be among the team’s best seasons yet.
“We’ve got a championship to celebrate and defend, terrific support from sponsors, and a fan base eager to pick up right where we left off,” said Revolution President Eric Menzer. “We’re excited to be able to announce some great plans already in place, and we’ll have more news to come regarding theme nights, celebrity appearances, and giveaways. Revs Time can’t get here quickly enough!”
The 2018 season will start Thursday, April 26, with a celebration of the 2017 season, when the Revolution went from the bottom of the Freedom Division at the league’s halfway point to win the Atlantic League Championship in a sweep of the Long Island Ducks. Opening Day festivities will include unveiling the team’s third pennant in the outfield of PeoplesBank Park and presenting championship rings to returning coaches and players.
The team further announced the following highlights of the 2018 season:
72 home games (two more than 2017)
