Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, October 30, 2010
“The Rays averaged 23,000 fans per game this year,” said Kenny Nowling, president and CEO of the American Drag Racing League, which averaged 68,000 fans to each of its first 10 races this year by giving away its tickets away for free. “If I took over the ticketing department and we gave away all the tickets, I’d easily have standing room for at least 50 percent of the games and no game would draw less than 35,000.”
The Seattle Mariners have announced that they will give away 2011 season tickets, then hand out $20 bills to every fan who walks through the gate.

Heh, but at least you are paying enough attention to know how bad they were. I had a guy at a party last night ask me "Do they still have that Rodriguez guy?"
Since the Beard Papa's stand disappeared, what is there to spend it on?
Phase 2: ????
Phase 3: Make profits!
In that case, they'd do better to make the beer free.
