The Columbia Fireflies are a Minor League Baseball team based in Columbia, South Carolina. As the Single-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, they compete in the Carolina League and host their home games at the award-winning Segra Park, located in the heart of the BullStreet District. Known for their vibrant neon colors and signature “glow-in-the-dark” branding, the Fireflies provide family-friendly entertainment and high-quality professional baseball to the Midlands community. Their schedule features a variety of promotional nights, firework displays, and community events throughout the spring and summer months. Series Opponent: Hickory Crawdads Get your tickets! Attending a Columbia Fireflies game at Segra Park is a highlight of the Columbia summer, but there are a few “pro-tips” to ensure your night goes smoothly. 1. The Bag Policy is Strict Segra Park operates under a Clear Bag Policy. Permitted: One clear bag (plastic, vinyl, or PVC) per person. Small clutch purses (no larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″) are also allowed. Prohibited: Backpacks, tinted clear bags, and even diaper bags are typically not allowed inside. 2. It’s a Cashless Venue Leave the paper bills at home. All concession stands, the Mason Jar Team Store, and the ticket office are 100% cashless. They accept all major credit cards and mobile pay. Tip: If you only have cash, you can visit Guest Services inside the gates to exchange it for a Fireflies Gift Card. 3. Parking & Entry General Parking: Usually available in the Freed Street parking deck for approximately $7. ADA Parking: Available on the first floor of the parking deck at the corner of Boyce and Freed Streets. Gate Times: Gates typically open one hour before first pitch (e.g., 6:05 PM for a 7:05 PM game). 4. Food & Drink Highlights While you can find standard ballpark fare, look for the local touches: Pimento Cheese: You can add this Southern staple to almost any burger or hot dog. Weekly Specials: Keep an eye out for Miller Lite Tuesdays ($2 hot dogs and beer) or Budweiser Thursdays ($2 pints). Outside Food: Outside food and drinks are prohibited, though exceptions are made for sealed water bottles (one per person) and infant needs. 5. Catch the Glow If you want the full experience, stay until the end of the game—especially on Fridays or Saturdays. The Fireflies are known for their post-game fireworks displays, and the stadium’s “glow” theme really comes to life after sunset.
