3. The Brockton Rox host the North Shore Navigators at 7:05 p.m. However, this isn’t your average Tuesday night. It’s “The Office Night” at the ballpark, a night centered on the popular television show, “The Office.” For starters, fans who dress as characters from the show will get a free ticket for the game. The Rox also have a special contest planned for fans of all ages, with the winner taking home the complete box-set of The Office and a Blu Ray DVD Player. Meanwhile, the entire stadium will be covered in office décor, while kids can partake in an office-themed scavenger hunt. Not to mention that it’s Two-For-Tuesday, where fans can get $2 draft beers as well as two-for-one deals on box seats, soda, popcorn, ice cream, hot dogs, and other select concession items. Visit the Rox website for tickets.
