The Staten Island FerryHawks are set to launch their inaugural “Wu Wednesdays” tonight at SIUH Community Park, introducing a new game-day tradition that blends baseball with the borough’s rich hip-hop legacy. This weekly series, which will run throughout the 2025 season, pays tribute to Staten Island’s own Wu-Tang Clan while offering fans a unique cultural experience at the ballpark.
Kicking off with tonight’s home game against the High Point Rockers, Wu Wednesdays will feature music, themed giveaways, and curated merchandise celebrating the iconic rap group that helped put Staten Island on the map. Special ticket packages have been made available for the event, offering fans the opportunity to take part in the festivities with exclusive access and perks.
The FerryHawks, members of the Atlantic League, a minor league affiliate of Major League Baseball (MLB), hope the series will drive greater community engagement and enhance the midweek ballpark atmosphere. With the team playing at the scenic SIUH Community Park, formerly Richmond County Bank Ballpark, overlooking New York Harbor, the club has leaned into local pride by spotlighting Staten Island’s contributions to music and culture.
In addition to the entertainment value, the event also carries a philanthropic purpose. Proceeds from merchandise sales will support local literacy programs through a partnership with the Children’s Literacy Society, reinforcing the FerryHawks’ commitment to community involvement.
As the team continues its 2025 campaign, Wu Wednesdays mark a creative effort to bring new energy to the stands while honoring the borough’s musical heritage. For fans of hip-hop, baseball, or both, tonight’s game offers a one-of-a-kind experience that showcases the spirit of Staten Island on and off the field.
