Do other teams have a Fanfest-type event that's as big a deal as the Orioles?

[Frobby]

I'm just curious about this. I know the Nats have NatsFest, very similar in format to Orioles Fanfest, but I've never heard of any of my Nats fan friends actually going to it. I think lots of teams have some sort of winter event. But are there any that draw 16,000 people, as the Orioles just did?

Edit -- Looks like Kansas City drew 20,000 for its event, smashing their previous record of 11,000. Seattle also has an event that draws well (17,000 this year).

Last weekend, a record crowd of 25,290 fans turned out for the Mariners' annual FanFest activities.

That is over 2 days.

The Dodgers have a big event, don't remember if it's combined with select a seat.

Some teams do a traveling "Caravan." Blue Jays go all over Canada.

I wonder if Nelson Cruz was there.

The White Sox have an event called Sox Fest. And the Giants have a two-day FanFest event.

I wonder if the Orioles would ever consider a two-day event. That might help all those lines ease up.

Rays Fan Fest is February 21st in the Trop. I hope they draw more than they do for the games.

Now that I recall, the Yankees do not have a Fanfest.

And they have valet parking.

The Orioles event used to be two days in the late 90's.

Not a pro team obviously. But my Sooners have such an event as well. It draws that many if not more.

It should be against the rules to play opening day inside.
