Let the cross-town rivalry begin!

The Dunedin Blue Jays open Florida State Leaugue season play against the Clearwater Threshers today at home, and they are really packin' in the fun.

Here are three things you won't want to miss:

1. The Star Spangled Banner: Dunedin Concert Band's trumpet section kicks off the ball game with the National Anthem. These guys regularly pack the Dunedin Community Center.
2. The return of Thirsty Thursday drink specials: $2 beer, wine and soda. 
3. The post-game concert: Tampa Bay area soul band The Black Honkeys, a proven crowd pleaser (they won Creative Loafing's "2010 Best of the Bay"), entertains on the field after the game.

Game starts at 6:30 p.m., gates open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $6.
