Gotham Roller Derby schedules July make-up game, Rink Rats face Park Pigeons
Gotham’s July 25 make-up bout paired the Rink Rats and Park Pigeons at LeFrak Center, with tickets pushed for a single 6 p.m. matchup.
Gotham Roller Derby put its July 25 make-up game on the board as a single matchup between the Rink Rats and the Park Pigeons at LeFrak Center at Lakeside, a rescheduled home-team date that replaced a lost piece of the summer slate. The league listed the bout for 6 p.m. and included ticket information, while Universe carried the event as a four-hour window, 6:00-10:00 PM, at 171 East Dr, Brooklyn, NY 11225.
The timing mattered because Gotham turned what had been a disruption into a clean home-team night. An Instagram post said, “Our postponed game will take place this Saturday, July 25 as a single matchup at LeFrak Center,” and another post billed it as a “classic city mashup,” with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and tickets available through the post. The home-team pairing also kept Gotham’s internal rivalry calendar moving, which is a big part of why these matchups carry weight even without postseason stakes attached.
Universe framed the game with the line, “Out of the floodwaters, catch Gotham Roller...” That language matched the rest of Gotham’s scheduling push and pointed back to a canceled July 2026 doubleheader, which Universe said was called off because of “multiple emergency weather events.” In other words, the July 25 bout was not just another date on the summer schedule. It was the league’s reset button, replacing a broader event that weather had already knocked out.
For Gotham’s skaters and regular followers, the make-up game restored a chance to sort out home-team bragging rights in one of roller derby’s most recognizable league structures. The Rink Rats and Park Pigeons are Gotham names that instantly signal an in-house battle, not a neutral exhibition, and the league made clear that fans who wanted in had a direct path through the ticketed event. With the venue set at LeFrak Center at Lakeside and the matchup narrowed to one game, Gotham kept the night focused on the derby itself rather than the calendar trouble that forced the reschedule.
