After another exciting season, the Steamwheelers organization is turning the spotlight onto the people who made it all possible.... THE FANS. Throughout the evening, the team will celebrate Wheeler Nation with special surprises, exclusive giveaways, and memorable moments designed to thank the Quad Cities community for supporting the team all season long.

The Night Includes Special Guests

The evening will also feature two very special honorary guests.

Colin Gould, who captured national attention after going viral for dancing on stage with country superstar Luke Bryan, will serve as the game's Honorary Captain. You might even see him bust out a dance move or two with the Deckmate Dancers.

Fans will also meet Sawyer Dawes, the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital Children's Miracle Network Champion. Sawyer's inspiring story has touched countless lives across Iowa, and his appearance is expected to be one of the night's most heartfelt moments.

Deckmates Bring Back the Fans' Favorite Routines

The Deckmate Dancers are giving fans an encore performance unlike any other this season.

Every home game, the dancers debut three brand-new routines, meaning dozens of dances have hit the field throughout the year. For Fan Appreciation Night, the organization asked fans to vote for their favorites. The Deckmates will perform the Top 3 fan-voted routines of the entire season, giving fans one last chance to enjoy the performances that had everyone cheering from the stands.
