In appreciation of the dedication and outstanding work of its employees, the University of Miami will host Family Day with the Miami Marlins on Saturday, May 2, at Marlins Park in Little Havana. The Marlins will take on the Philadelphia Phillies, which will be preceded by a lineup of special pregame activities.

Beginning this week, each regular employee, as well as contract employees, can pick up one complimentary ticket and purchase up to two additional tickets for $1 each; extra tickets will be available for $9 apiece. Children under 3 do not require tickets. Each ticket comes with a food voucher for a hot dog, chips, and a fountain drink or bottle of water.

You must have a valid ’Cane Card (UM ID) to receive your tickets; only one ID card per person will be permitted, and you cannot bring anyone else’s ID to purchase tickets for them. You can receive tickets only at a single ticket distribution session; you cannot go multiple times. If you plan to sit with other UM employees, you must pick up your tickets together, at the same time and distribution site. Cash only will be accepted for all ticket purchases. Family Day tickets will be available for sale at all ticket distribution sites on all days while quantities last.

Ticket distribution will begin Tuesday, March 31, and will continue on multiple dates thereafter. Contract employees must pick up their tickets at the Foote University Green location near the Richter Library. Miller School and University of Miami Hospital employees can pick up tickets at either the Miller School or UMH distribution sites.

Pregame and Postgame Activities
The event will feature pregame activities for the entire family. Family activities and entertainment will be located on the West Plaza from 2 to 3:15 p.m. Pregame on-field ceremonies will highlight the University of Miami.
