Name ten things every MLB ballpark has...?

Question

Name ten things every MLB ballpark has...?

Answer 1

1. Overpriced seats

2. Overpriced food

3. Overpriced everything

4. Some random guy yelling out "PROGRAMS!"

5. Roaming vendors

6. Some guy who's probably drunk yelling

7. Press boxes

8. Clubhouses

9. A section for retired numbers

10. Dirt (or some weird dirt alternative)

Answer 2

I go to Marlins games and it's cheap :) but anyway...... 1. release the names on the PED list, lets all remember that this was an MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL problem, not just the Yankees or Red Sox or a few players. 2. Make the regular season shorter and expand the post season to four rounds. If you make the schedule 154 games, you should still be able to finish the world series by Nov 1. More teams will profit from this as their teams are still be in contention during the last month of the season, teams who still accomplish a win % over .525 may not even be playoff teams. Which is why attendance seems to dip among teams who start to fall at least 4 games below a division leader or WC leader. 3. Not just a salary cap but even a salary floor, this will force teams like the Marlins to spend for their fans.

Answer 3

A flagpole.



An out-of-town scoreboard. (Mechanical ones are best!)



At least one loudmouth fan, even if the game is a midweek matinee between cellar dwellers. This guy ALWAYS shows up.



League & division standings, somewhere. Some parks provide for both leagues.



Graffiti in the visitor's bullpen.



A no-drinking section (usually in the upper deck, past the foul pole, but it's there).



Stale hot dog buns.



"42".



People -- usually in the expensive seats, down close to the infield -- on cell phones, often waving. (Feh.)



A fan wearing an olde-style team cap. This will be true even for the 1990s expansion teams.

Answer 4

1) That ONE guy with a cowbell/airhorn/drum/any other loud and annoying contraption that continuously beats on it or plays it all 9 innings!!



2) Cheaply made blankets/hats/tshirts being hocked by credit card companies



3) Drunk college kids!



4) Someone who thinks its cool to wear a jersey OTHER than a baseball one just because its a sports game, ie NY Giants to a Yankee game.



5) That one hardcase usher that sees you with a tray of nachos, hot dogs, and pretzels for your family, yet STILL thinks he needs to see your ticket even though you've already gone past 10 other checkpoints to get inside the stadium.



6) The guys out front looking to buy your tickets from you, or give you an upgraded seat for a "really good deal"...



7) Collectible cups all over the stadium at game's end.



8) Scoreboard/Jumbotron playing clips from Bull Durham, Major League, and any other baseball movie ever made



9) ICE cooooooooold BEER! Getcha COLD beer HERE!! ( I hate that guy)



10) Some little kid thats so excited to be there in the 1st inning, but by the 5th inning he's used the bathroom 6 times, eaten 3 hot dogs, and is now fallen asleep on their parent's lap.
