It\u2019s Corn! \u2018Pigs to Rebrand as Cornholers to Honor the Lehigh Valley\u2019s Favorite Tailgate Game
\n<\/strong>IronPigs to rebrand as Cornholers for one game on September 6th<\/sup> and host Cornhole tournament pregame!<\/p>\n

Allentown, Pennsylvania (June 2, 2025) <\/strong>\u2013 Imagine: It\u2019s 72 degrees and sunny. The grill is flaming, the smell of charcoaling meats wafts to your nostrils, and an ice-cold beverage sits in a koozie gripped by your hand in the Coca-Cola Park parking lot. First pitch is still hours away, and time has to be killed.<\/p>\n

There is only one answer to how to burn the minutes until gates open: A game to pass the time, a game to show off your athletic prowess over fellow tailgaters, a game that no tailgate, lawn party, or outdoor social gathering is complete without: Cornhole!<\/p>\n

In honor of the America\u2019s favorite tailgating game, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will become the Lehigh Valley Cornholers <\/strong>on Saturday, September 6, when they take on the Toledo Mud Hens at Coca-Cola Park.<\/p>\n

As the reigning MiLB attendance champion, the IronPigs know a thing or two about tailgating and throwing a good party. Neither is complete without some bags to throw around!<\/p>\n

Cornhole is an American institution, be it in the backyard, at parking lots of sporting events, or even now in professionally sanctioned tournaments! Now, Cornhole takes the diamond, as the IronPigs wear specially designed Cornhole jerseys and hats on September 6.<\/p>\n

The jersey base is green, the color of the preferred playing surface for Cornhole (the backyard grass). The wordmark across the front features an anthropomorphized ear of corn, tossing a bag at the \u2018O\u2019 in Cornholers which doubles as the hole of the Cornhole board. The back of the jersey has the Cornhole board for the bottom half with the board adorned with two bags already and a third bag midair heading for a \u2018Cornhole\u2019. The bag in midflight will house the number of the player wearing the jersey.<\/p>\n

The hat has the eponymous ear of corn holding a bag while popping out of the hole in the board. The base of the hat is the wood color of a normal board while the brim is the same green of the jersey.<\/p>\n

The Cornholers look features hats, jerseys, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other accessories. The full line of<\/p>\n

merchandise is available now at the IronPigs Clubhouse Store at Coca-Cola Park or online at shopironpigs.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

When the IronPigs play as the Cornholers on September 6, they will also be hosting a Cornhole Tournament at Coca-Cola Park! In collaboration with Coal Cracker Cornhole, the tournament begins at 11:00 a.m. with gates opening at 10:30 a.m. Registered teams will receive:<\/p>\n
