WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue Baseball invites fans of all ages to Alexander Field for the team’s annual Halloween Bash, a celebration of October’s most notable holiday that features trick-or-treating on the field after a brief costume scrimmage.
The free event begins with player introductions at 6 p.m. The Boilermakers will be wearing costumes and fans planning to attend are also encouraged to arrive dressed in Halloween costumes.
Fans in attendance can claim a voucher redeemable for one free ticket to any regular-season home game during the 2026 campaign. The plan is to have selected players had out those vouchers in conjunction with the trick-or-treat this year. Purdue has six home weekends and 26 total home games on its 2026 schedule, including an eight-game homestand from April 29-May 10.
The Halloween Bash at Alexander debuted in 2019 and has remained a popular October event since returning to the calendar in 2021. It begins with an abbreviated costume scrimmage, after which children will be able to take the field for trick-or-treating, receiving candy from the players and coaches.
The Boilermakers are also making plans to host their First Pitch Dinner at the Ross-Ade Pavilion and the all-ages Preseason Fan Fest inside the Mollenkopf Athletic Center. Both events are held early in the spring semester, with the Preseason Fan Fest generally taking place the weekend before college baseball’s national opening day (Friday, Feb. 13 this school year).
The remainder of the fall ball schedule at Alexander Field features an exhibition game on Saturday, Oct. 11 vs. Dayton as well as a handful of open scrimmages – primarily on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. All fall ball events feature free admission.
