ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A new style of baseball that had Coca-Cola Park fans so aglow that it added a second night, has shone so bright that it has added an unprecedented third date.
Cosmic baseball — a baseball game played under black lights with a glowing ball, bats, bases and even uniforms — has added a May 14 game after games May 16 and May 15 sold out "with plenty of individuals still left waiting in the ticket lottery," the IronPigs organization announced.
That makes Coca-Cola Park the first venue to ever hold Cosmic Baseball for three consecutive dates, the organization said.
To join the ticket lottery for May 14, fans can register at chilipeppersbaseball.com.Lehigh Valley IronPigs release
That's including more than 30 tour dates for the Cosmic Baseball combatants, The Tri-City Chili Peppers and the Glow Mojis.
To join the ticket lottery for May 14, fans can register at chilipeppersbaseball.com.
Group hospitality areas remain available for all three dates. Call the IronPigs ticket office at 610-841-PIGS (7447) for more information on group hospitality.
'Electrifying entertainment'
In Cosmic Baseball, players take the field under what is described as the world’s only stadium-grade black lights for "a jaw-dropping spectacle that’s part baseball, part neon-fueled party and 100% unforgettable."
There are neon uniforms, UV-reactive baseballs and "electrifying entertainment," according to a release.
Coca-Cola Park will be among many stops for Cosmic Baseball in 2026, according to the release.
The Chili Peppers Baseball Organization created the Cosmic experience during summer 2024.
Major League Baseball says it's believed to be the first organized sporting event to be played entirely under black lights.
A national tour was created after the game spurred a wait list of more than 50,000 in two months after media attention from CNN, FOX News, ABC, the "Today" show, ESPN, MLB Network, TBS Television Japan and more.
The Cosmic Takeover Tour sold out two games at Coca-Cola Park last year.
