Kids Day will include giveaways of a Pittsburgh Maulers and New Jersey Generals team photo card (while supplies last) and thunder sticks to kids 12 and under (while supplies last). Kids will also “take over” game operations activities such as anthem singer, PA announcer, emcee/hosts and pregame coin flip.
