Opening day for the 2025 Augusta GreenJackets’ season is April 4

On March 27, the Single-A Affiliate of the Atlanta Braves released a detailed look at all the happenings at SRP Park on opening weekend of the 2025 season. 

“We are almost to Opening Day, and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off another year of GreenJackets baseball at SRP Park,” said GreenJackets General Manager, Brandon Greene, in a news release. “This is the second straight year we get to begin our season here in the CSRA, and we can’t wait for fans to join us for this action-packed weekend.” 

The GreenJackets open the season at home for the second consecutive season, after opening on the road each year from 2018-2023. It marks a near-repeat of last year’s opening series, as once again the Columbia Fireflies of the Kansas City Royals organization travel south down I-20 for a three-game set to kick off the campaign. The GreenJackets took two out of three games last year on opening weekend and won five of nine games against Columbia at SRP Park in total.

 Friday, April 4 kicks off the season with what has become an annual tradition at SRP Park, as the first 2,000 fans through the gate will receive a GreenJackets Golf Towel courtesy of SRP Federal Credit Union.

 Those who arrive early will be treated to a pre-game concert on the concourse from 5:30 to 6:30. Durty Gurl RTD cocktails will be half-off at the Kegstand from 6 to 8 p.m. and the Durty Gurl Vodka Bar will debut its first half-priced specialty cocktail, the Catch the Buzz (Durty Gurl vodka, blue curacao, and pineapple juice). 

First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.

On Saturday, April 5, the first 2,000 fans into the ballpark receive a 2025 GreenJackets Magnet Schedule, thanks to A&D Carpets. The White Claw Pre-Game Concert Series rolls on for another night, and $2 off White Claws around the ballpark. It’s also State Farm Family Saturday at SRP Park, meaning fans will get the opportunity to meet some of their favorite GreenJacket players and have them sign autographs on the main concourse. The night doesn’t end after the last out either, as the year’s first firework extravaganza lights up the sky postgame.

Saturday’s start time is 6:05 p.m.

The three-game series culminates Sunday evening and presents an exciting opportunity for fans, as the entire GreenJackets roster will be made available pregame for a meet and greet. The first 1,000 fans through the gate will also receive a 2025 team photo, to keep the team fresh in folks’ minds even when not at the park.

On the field, the game presents the first opportunity to see the team’s new green alternate jerseys, a long-requested look finally making its way to SRP Park. The series finale is fun for fans of all ages, and features a Pre-Game Catch on the Field from 4 to 4:30pm, and post-game Kids Run the Bases for fans 12 and under. It’s also the year’s first Jr. Jackets Kids Club Game.

Sunday’s ballgame has a twilight tee time of 5:05 p.m., with gates set to open at 4 p.m.

Tickets for the entirety of opening weekend are available now for purchase, while supplies last. Fans can visit www.greenjacketsbaseball.com, call (803) 349-WINS (9467), or visit the SRP Box Office at 187 Railroad Avenue, North Augusta for more information and availability.
