To reward the Jumbo Shrimp loyal fans, the organization has teamed up with Community First Credit Bank to unveil the new Jumbo Shrimp Visa Debit Card: good for a free small soda at each game, $2 off box office tickets, and 10% off any Jumbo Shrimp merchandise.

Jumbo Shrimp owner, Ken Babby, has also teamed up with Publix for a new promotion called “Corks and Forks” every wednesday. The promotion promises a free mail paired with a nice wine. Come back the following night for “Thirsty Thursday” where you can find $1 and $2 drafts at the stadium.
