The Thrillville Thrillbillies held a press conference on Wednesday to announce big changes for the 2025 season at Mt Dew Park.

The changes are designed to enhance the game-day experience for fans through special theme nights and all-you-can-eat tickets to the ballpark.

There will be seats available where fans will get a game ticket plus unlimited access to their favorite ballpark bites for one set price. Local businesses will also sponsor select weeknight games which will allow fans to enjoy the all-you-can-eat experience.

Thrillville theme nights will include fan-favorites like Star Wars Night, Murder in Thrillville, Faith & Family Night, and Sandlot Night with an on-field camp-out.

SIU will provide free admission to Salukis in Thrillville Night on July 17th. Fans can enjoy a meet and greet with Coach Nick Hill and some Football Salukis.

The 2025 season will also feature unique giveaways, thrilling entertainment acts, and the fan-voted Community Classic Jerseys, with the "Shawnee" design winning the final vote.

The organization also introduced a New Field Manager, Patrick Morey who is expected to bring a winning mentality and a commitment to community engagement. Morey says he is ready to lead the Thrillbillies to an exciting season.

Season Tickets for 2025 will be available beginning Saturday. Fans looking for more information can visit www.thrillbillies.com.
