Other ideas?

1st amendment night--bring your gun to the park.

Loser night--Dress up as a nerd.  Can you be a bigger loser than the O's?

Rocky Horror night--Dress up as a character from the Rocky Horror show.  When I lived in Atlanta years ago, there was a movie theater that showed the Rocky Horror show every week at midnight.  I worked as a waiter at a restaurant where the movie goers went after the movie.  It was very interesting to say the least.

2nd Amendment.

A supervisor and I were trying to think of the best Promotion/Giveaway Night if we ever owned a team.

A.A. Night with Flask Giveaway was the winner.

They keep adding them too, they just added an Oktoberfest night for Sept 28, with a pretty nice big stein as a giveaway.

Oktoberfest, university night, bark in the park were all promotions at Nats games in prior years before they had them in Baltimore.  I don't know if the Nats' ideas are from their own promotion dept. or maybe they get some from MLB.

One thing to keep in mind is that all these theme nights come with specially purchased tickets.   That goes for all 9 University nights, as well as the others.

And they announce them after the season has started... so chances are pretty good that a lot of the people coming out for them would not have come out if it wasn't a theme night they were interested in.   I wouldn't have gone to a random Wednesday night Met game in August if it hadn't been Virginia Tech night.

So I think it's working out well... each one draws different groups of people that might or might not go to games, but they make a point to go tot he theme night that is relevant to them.

They keep adding them too, they just added an Oktoberfest night for Sept 28, with a pretty nice big stein as a giveaway.

They have been really making an effort the past couple years.   The uptick in quality and uniqueness of giveaways in 2017 was very noticeable, and now the theme nights in 2018 are a great idea.   And the kids free seats too.

The product on the field is what it is, but the promotions department is doing about as much as you could possibly hope for to put fans in the seats and generate new fans.

I was going to buy Oktoberfest tickets but then I saw they were 21 plus only.  They should allow kids to attend.  I wanted to show my daughter about her Bavarian heritage.

Why would anyone down vote this?  People on here are bitter people.

Cinci attendance was 14,303 last night which is usual for them of late.

We had a bunch of rain on and off all day yesterday up here in OH, plus the Padres vs. Reds, shooting earlier, etc.  Not a great game to go see.  I watched the replay and two homers hit railings and seats and bounced back onto field.  No-one there to catch them.

If I feel "active", I plan to go see ex-O's Manny, Justin, Rich Hill and Co. for the next Wed. day game (rain is in forecast however).

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
