Opening Day for the 2014 season is less than four weeks away and a sure sign is the opening of the Kernels Ticket Office and Bimm Ridder Diamond Shop on Monday at 10 a.m.

Individual game tickets for the Cedar Rapids Kernels go on sale Monday morning in the Ticket Office and online at www.kernels.com.

It pays to purchase tickets in advance as the Kernels have implemented a "Game Day" ticket price. Ticket prices for advance sales are $11 for Premier tickets, $9 for Club tickets, $8 for Plaza tickets and $7 for Lawn seating, but those prices go up $1 the day of the game.

The Kernels Ticket Office is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Bimm Ridder Diamond Shop, located at Veterans Memorial Stadium, offers a full line of Kernels and Twins merchandise including hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts, game-worn and game-used items and more. The Diamond Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The Kernels arrive in Cedar Rapids on Monday, March 31 and the first chance to meet the team is on Tuesday, April 1 as part of "Meet the Kernels Night" from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Kernels open the 2014 MWL season on Thursday, April 3 when they host the Clinton LumberKings at 6:35 p.m.
