The following night, Saturday October 3rd, the Buccaneers open their home campaign by facing off against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders.  Other notable games include a Thanksgiving night bout against Omaha and a New Year’s Day game against the Tri-City Storm.

The final home game of the regular season will be on March 27th against the Chicago Steel.   The season wraps up with the Bucs on the road against Sioux Falls, Tri-City and Omaha in a three game road trip.  The top four teams in each division at the end of the regular season schedule will qualify for the Clark Cup Playoffs.
