Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
I did it a bunch of times at the old Vet and then once at new Yankee. Its very peaceful if you have space to yourself, less fun if you're surrounded by groups and families.

Oh if I went by myself no no ticket would tying me to a particular seat. ROAM FREE.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Right, but that kinda depends on the stadium. At Yankee, the only wide open areas are usually the ones where they shoot you if you try to sneak in.
Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
I bought the cheapest ticket available and haven't sniffed my seat. This is really a fun way to catch a game. Different vantage points every inning.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Going to the Isotopes game tomorrow. The view is excellent and the tickets are cheap.

The Tebow train is coming to Lexington this week.

CBS Sports wrote: The Mets could promote him to High Class-A soon, and here's why: money. It really is that simple. Tebow has provided a huge boost to ticket and merchandise sales. Fans want to see the guy play. From J.J. Cooper of Baseball America:
Based on the April attendance data, the Tebow effect appears to be roughly 2,210 fans per night. Minor league teams estimate that the average fan will spend $20 per person if they come to the ballpark. That counts ticket sales, concessions and souvenirs. So Tebow is worth roughly an additional $44,200 per night.
Right now, the Mets do not benefit directly from Tebow's popularity. They do not own the Columbia Fireflies. They do own the St. Lucie Mets, however, their High-A affiliate. That's the next level for Tebow. A promotion to St. Lucie means all that extra ticket and merchandise revenue goes directly into the Mets' pockets. That will be the driving force behind a Tebow promotion, not his performance.
Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
This seems like a pretty good deal. If you live in Pittsburgh and/or can get to the stadium without too much trouble. And don't mind standing.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
The Oakland A's recently announced a $19.99 per month pass. (So, take that, Pittsburgh). It was pretty successful and they sold out their allotment quickly, then pulled the offer.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Astros did something similar in May. 59.99 for all M-Th home games in May (12 games). They send you a message the day of the game with the seat location and you accept or deny.

An old friend I haven't seen in a couple years just texted me and told me he has a couple great seats at Thursday's Athletics vs. Red Sox game and do I want to join him at the game? So, I got that going for me. Which is nice.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Just for you:
An old friend, whom I haven't seen in a couple years, just texted me. He told me he has a couple great seats at Thursday's Athletics vs. Red Sox game. He then asked if I want to join him at the game.

Speaking of Oakland, with Las Vegas as the new Triple A affiliate for the A's and with Oakland playing in a dilapidated shitheap and a new stadium opening next week in Las Vegas, players recalled from Las Vegas to Oakland will actually be going to a smaller clubhouse with fewer amenities. (The video board in Las Vegas will also be larger than something like 9 or 10 MLB ballparks.)

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Yeah, that stadium in Oakland is a dump. The ownership keeps coming up with new places in the area for a new stadium, but various interest groups keep shooting them down.brian wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 3:44 pm Speaking of Oakland, with Las Vegas as the new Triple A affiliate for the A's and with Oakland playing in a dilapidated shitheap and a new stadium opening next week in Las Vegas, players recalled from Las Vegas to Oakland will actually be going to a smaller clubhouse with fewer amenities.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Won't be going to any more Monarchs games (I went to one)
In less than 15 years, they went from drawing almost 10,000 fans a game in the AHL to moving their final ECHL home playoff game to some squirt rink in Exeter because of monster trucks.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Why do people call the ushers to evict the kid and I from CENTERFIELD seats instead of asking us to move into the dozens of empty seats in the section.

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Went to the Brewers-Nats game yesterday afternoon. The Brewers just sent their pitchers out to die. I know they went long and late with lots of arms on Saturday night but holy cow, Wilkerson and Anderson were just left in their to get shelled. 8 HR, 5 in the first 3 innings. Anderson threw 71 pitches in 2.1 innings of work (10ER), and Wilkerson threw 80 in 4.1. For a team that is in the hunt for the playoffs, not sure you should just give one away.
Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Speaking of that Saturday night Nats game.
I know some of y'all don't like him and I further know I'm biased, but Jack White is awesome.

Re: Swampers at the Ballpark
Last minute family trip with my office's season tickets tonight. Philly is still at 1/4 capacity for a few more weeks (going to full capacity when the Yanks come to town on 6/12), so I felt comfortable enough to go, at least more comfortable than I would be next month if they get anywhere close to the 44,000 the Bank will seat. Horrible game for my Phils, but the best outing I've had with my kids who are now 6 and 9. Attentive the whole game, asking why they threw it to this base instead of that, wondering why everyone was leaving early when the game got out of hand and hoping that we would stay until the end, which we did. Oh, and they got on the Jumbotron, which they said would be the highlight of their weekend, no matter what we do Saturday and Sunday.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?

That’s a great story! Maybe it will turn them into baseball fans.

On a chartered bus with my wife’s coworkers waiting to cross the GWB on our way to Citi Field. It will be my youngest’s first MLB game and she’s pretty excited. But the Mets.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Yeah. But we made unbelievably great time to Fort Lee.
