Dates are this plan's theme nights, family days first, or open family days when it has too few. Theme nights lift crowds here about 6.4% on average. The ranking is untested as a pick: on 354 theme nights in 2025–26, how an area leaned toward a subject didn't reliably predict which nights drew more (correlation +0.08, range -0.06 to 0.22). Read it as a list of ideas the town likes.
Sponsor board
Your hand of sponsors
Brands are cards. Rarity is how much more Hillsboro likes a brand than a typical club city does; the stats are its Qloo ranks. The scouting list is the local businesses an assistant can name. Together they found more of clubs' real 2025 sponsors than the assistant alone. No alcohol, gambling or tobacco.

Green days: open from 17:30 to 22:00, through a night game. Hours come from Qloo and can be out of date.
How sure is this?
Crowd lift on fireworks nights in the minors, 2025–26. 95% range 17.7 to 25.8.
The same lift Monday to Thursday, when crowds are small. That is why midweek dates win.
More real 2025 sponsors found by the two-list board than by the assistant alone. Range +12 to +48.
