I wanna sit around thinking of stupid gimmicks all day. I wanna send out press releases about the stupid gimmicks and then giggle derangedly when they get picked up in national media.

Okay...next month...we're gonna sign a guinea pig! And start him at shortstop!

Seriously

gotta do something to get people to come on a Tuesday night. I used to work for the Modesto Nuts (A+ for the Rockies) and there were some games where we would have 50 people in the stands.

Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It's an unfair game. -Rod Kanehl

Really? I went to an AHL game recently and they had 10,000+ people in the crowd. With a Sixers game going on across the parking lot. I guess it most be different for MiLB, I wouldn’t think so but I guess so.

How much are the tixs? The AHL tixs were 10 bucks.

It wasn’t a problem with the pricing, the best seats in the house were only $9. The main issue was the weather. Sometimes during the summer it is still 100+ for a 7pm start. Combine the high heat with very little shade around the stadium and you don’t have much of a draw.

ideas

50 cent snowcones
Dollar bottled water
Dollar beers
Free general admission
Sorority/Fraternity night
let local youth sports teams sell tickets to raise cash

but I am sure you have thought of these before

Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.

Not a minor league team

but I loved it when the A’s used to have dollar Wednesdays… My dad would get 4 hot dogs for 4 dollars, and I’d eat three of em.

But please, no sorority/fraternity night. I’d rather sit next to a family of crying babies and Dodger fans than a bunch of frat guys.

They still have dollar Wednesdays...

I mean I guess it’s $2 now for tix, but hot dogs are still $1. And there’s no restrictions, so you can see the Yanks, Red Sox, or Giants for $2.

Can't get enough of the Oakland A's? Visit Oaktown Awesomer's. For further statistical analysis, Beyond the Box Score.

Needs more beer batter

If you’re going to have an attention-grabbing novelty food item, you might as well go all out.

There is always the Krispy Kreme Burger

My heart slowed just looking at those pics.

Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

They have Thirsty Thursdays

In Visalia, and I know the Grizzlies used to do it, not sure if they still put it on. $1 beers!
