As usual, Alexis Pence was in full Daenerys Targaryen regalia (including the dragon) sitting pretty on the iron throne with our own Carmen Kiew in her crew:

Is it weird that they have Game of Thrones night in a year that will not feature any episodes of Game of Thrones? A little! But, seeing as how franchise nights are becoming a pretty regularly occurring gimmick in baseball parks around the country, I guess it’s not really as weird as having eighteen Star Wars nights per season.
What’s next? Walking Dead night might be fun, but complicated (and could lead to unfortunate accidents). My vote is for Harry Potter. Give me pre-game Quidditch matches and Gryffindor colored high socks. That would help relieve the absolute misery of seasons like this one and probably be quite fun in a normal season.
What would you like to see become a theme night in the future?
