I like that they'll throw in the a eulogy by the team President and CEO - that's classy.

On a whim I looked up the local Texas League Franchise's promotions. Some of the Tulsa Drillers better promotions include: June 2 - St. Patty's Day in June/Thirsty Thursday June 16 - Oktoberfest Night/Thirsty Thursday July 14 - University of Oklahoma Night/Thirsty Thursday August 5 - "Faith Night"/Veggie Tails Concert - As far as I can tell its a way of reaching out to the evangelical population in town. There's also a post-game youth lock in. tulsadrillers.com/team/promotions/ |

Sead Dizdarezvic doesn't write term papers. The words rearrange themselves out of fear.

Unfortunately this was nixed by the powers that be, but it would have been a great promotion: msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3710962First two innings played by two fans on a video game, and then the players finish the rest of the game live. Fans get to select the lineups and pitchers. |

The Northern League is great for things like that. The St. Paul Saints are owned by a Veeck and by Bill Murray--they've come up w/ some crazy promotions.

There was one where the promotion was zero-attendance night. No one was let into the Park until attendance was made official (end of fifth inning?), then everyone was let in for free.
Just random.

I believe the legendary Durham Bulls did that one.
