As the sun sets on Opening Day, the field transforms into something truly spectacular — hundreds of balloons tether to the ground, burners firing in unison, turning each envelope into a glowing lantern. The Balloon Glow on Opening Day typically has the largest number of balloons of any evening event. Fireworks cap the night. Evening gates open at 3:00 PM.
