Throwback Uni Day and other Promotional Ideas

by jbox on Mar 10, 2006 10:55 AM PST in News

Next time the Padres wear their throwback Jerseys they should take it a step further. They should price all the tickets to whatever the seat would have cost in that throwback year. Also turn off all the music, TV's and other futuristic entertainment in between innings. Just for one game have nothing but organ music. I bet it would be really eerie. Fans wouldn't know when to start clapping. They'd be at a total loss. Maybe in a few years, or before they tear down Qualcomm, they should have a throwback game in Qualcomm, just for old times sake.

One day they'll have a throwback to a late 90's game and maybe just once more we can have a Super Five Buck Monday with Dollar Dogs. Oh how I love thee, Super Five Buck Mondee!

Okay I'm going to give the Padres people some more gold nuggets. Remember when they gave you a free Padres ticket if you shaved your head, as a Wally Joyner Promotion?

One day at Petco they should have Tanning Booths and Hair Dye. You get yourself a Tan (or spray on tan) and your hair frosted for Brian Giles Day. You get the Tan and your hair bleached you get a free ticket into the game.

How about a Giles Day?

If you show up naked you get in free.

Or a Klesko day. If you bitch and moan and make excuses about not having a ticket, then you get in free. But then you have to promise to only half watch the game and leave by the seventh.

That's a good idea

I was actually pondering a nudist day. I'm not sure how the logistics would work, but that'd be a real uncomfortable game for the players and fans alike. Maybe a day where everybody wears a swim suit. Tell me you wouldn't go to that, I dare you!

Semi-Pro

The semi pro team here has a hot tub party room. You get beer and food and sit in the hot tub for the entire game.

Although there are far more attractive people in San Diego than there are in St Louis

Organ Music!

I used to love after "Take me out"" they would announce "...and now Danny Topaz on the Lowery Organ" and he would launch into "Anyway You Want It" by Journey all on the organ! I would love an all organ music day. At least for one day it would be great for my kids can hear what an old school game used to be like.
