4th Of July Is At Home

There will be 12 total homestands for fans to attend in 2027, and they'll have their usual series against all the Texas League South opponents. The only one they won't play twice in the season is the Midland RockHounds, who will only come to Amarillo once. So you, Athletics fans, will need to grab your tickets to see your prospects.

One major highlight on the schedule is that the Sod Poodles will be at HODGETOWN for the 4th of July in 2027. They'll take on the Wichita Turbo Tubs, better known as the Wind Surge, for the Independence Day matchup. Another schedule highlight is that they'll close the home season against the Tulsa Drillers, the AA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they've got a deep farm system with some of the game's top prospects. It'll be a treat to see them.
