The Carolina Blaze is taking over Durham Bulls Athletic Park and American Tobacco Campus on Thursday, Friday and Saturday while the Bulls are on the road for a six-game series. The Blaze hosts the Utah Talons for the Athletes Unlimited Signature Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my first time seeing the stadium,\u201d outfielder Dakota Kennedy said on Tuesday. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing. I\u2019ve seen the other teams play on fields like this, and the turnout in the stands is so awesome. I\u2019m just excited for us to have this opportunity, to fill these stands and have so many people come out and watch us play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game 1 is set for 6 p.m. Thursday and will be broadcast on ESPN. Tickets for all three games are still available through Ticketmaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the team has built some really good chemistry together,\u201d said Blaze coach Kara Dill after the team\u2019s Game 3 win over the Texas Volts. \u201cThey\u2019ve worked really hard together. They\u2019ve built a really great foundation of what they want the season to look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blaze (5-3) is second in the league standings, behind the Talons (7-3), and looks to bounce back from a loss. It is 4-1 when playing in Durham.<\/p>\n

Batal\u00e1 Durham drumline will lead a march from CCB Plaza to the ballpark, fans can participate in free pregame activities, and local restaurants have created special food and drinks for the occasion. Fans can gather at EO\u2019s Athletic Club, Luna, Primrose and Bull McCabe\u2019s. EO\u2019s and Bull McCabe\u2019s created Blaze-themed wings, while Luna and Primrose created signature cocktails.<\/p>\n

Fireworks are scheduled for Thursday night. Then on Friday, the team encourages fans to wear team colors. In honor of the franchise\u2019s pink color palette, Saturday\u2019s theme is Blaze x Barbie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it\u2019s gonna be amazing. It\u2019s gonna really feel like we\u2019re on the big league stage, playing at this awesome stadium,\u201d Ana Gold, second-year Blaze infielder and Duke softball alumna, said. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, and I think there\u2019s gonna be a really good turnout with the fans. I feel like this stadium is kind of well known around the country with the Durham Bulls, so it\u2019s gonna be a really cool, cool atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n
