Fairfield University Night at Citi Field | Press Releases

Stag Mascot ‘Lucas’ to throw out first pitch at Mets Game as part of a series of events to celebrate the “new and improved” mascot.

Flushing, N.Y.— On Wednesday, Sept. 16, Fairfield mascot Lucas the Stag — featuring a slicker, sportier look — invites alumni, faculty, staff, students and fans to attend Fairfield University Night at Citi Field as the New York Mets take on the Miami Marlins.

The first pitch is at 7 p.m. and will be delivered by none other than Lucas himself. Lucas will also be available throughout the game to take pictures and sign autographs.

A limited number of seats have been put on hold for the Fairfield University community to purchase. Each ticket is $33.00 on the field level of the first base side. The last day to purchase tickets at this group rate is August 24.

To purchase tickets through the Fairfield University group rate, please click here https://groupmatics.events/#/event/fairfield . Those attending should meet at the Citi Field “Apple” for exclusive Stag giveaways. All are encouraged to proudly wear Fairfield University colors during the events.

This event is part of an unveiling of a new and improved Lucas the Stag, from August 31 through September 16. Throughout that period, Lucas will make appearances at student and Fairfield community events, as well as spend a full day in New York City on September 16.

In addition, 1,000 Lucas the Stag bobble head dolls will be distributed to the Fairfield University community through the first week of September to celebrate Lucas’ new look. Lucas, accompanied by student-athletes, will hand deliver bobble heads to offices across campus and the first 300 students to attend the September 4 women’s soccer game at 7 p.m. will also receive the commemorative item. Lastly, a social media scavenger hunt will give clues to bobble heads hidden throughout campus. Visit FairfieldStags.com and follow @FairfieldStags on Twitter for more details as they are finalized.
