The Swamp Rabbits will play the most home g”mes at “”he Well” in December, playing in eight out of a dozen games on the slate.
  • The schedule features”s nine “three-in-three” series, three less than 2023-24. Of the 36 home games, 30 are played on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (10 each). The Swamp Rabbits play three games on Wednesdays and one each on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
