The Mercury season will be packed with fun themed nights and exciting giveaways. 5,000 Diana Taurasi replica jerseys will be given away during the home opener on Saturday, May 19 courtesy of the Arizona Lottery. “Daddy's Date Night” was a great success in 2006 and has been extended to four Fridays throughout the season (5/25, 6/22, 7/6, 7/20), each hosted by various local celebrities. The Mercury will also launch the “Fridays and Family” pack, which includes tickets, hot dogs, sodas and t-shirts for groups of four or more.

The WNBA partners with Ticketmaster in this league-wide initiative.
