So the Sox lost the Seven-Eleven account...and will not start their games at 7:11 anymore . Instead, they will start their games at 7:10. Considering their radio flagship is 670....why wouldn't they start their games at 6:70 ???? Brought to you by WSCR... The Score!

To easy.

OK...I'm going back to watching the NFC Championship now.

On 1/2 price Mondays, Kids' Days, or having all the stuff that makes the park a blast for every kid, I've appreciated the hell out of all of that sponsorship. But maybe that's just me

I do too. My kids love the Jim Beam Club Im just pushing Coztanzas buttons.

Actually Jerry Reinsdorf is really good at caring about the family/working man.

The bulls have a family deal that doesnt sound bad either.
Reinsdorf is a good owner

Boy are you going to catch hell for THAT one

You make it seem like the Sox are the only ones who whore themselves out to get a few extra revenue bucks, Roger...

But as far as Jerry this is what i was talking about...

Family Value Pack — Tickets and Dinner for $25!
Enjoy a great night out with family and friends!

For the games below, each $25 ticket you purchase includes a concession coupon good for a Vienna Beef hot dog, one bag of potato chips and 16 oz. soda. Redeemable at concession stands located near sections 111, 122, 301 and 317.

The Mr. Clean Cleanup hitter is brought to you by Mr. Clean

Yeah thats actually a solid deal. For less than $130 you can take a family of 4 to a Bulls game, feed everybody, and still pay for parking.

Also it was reported he moved sunday Sox's games to 2:00 to accomadate church goers. Say what you will about him but he cares about and listens to his fans.

Also he has 7 Championships


EDIT: The guy next to me at work is yelling at me that Reinsdorf didnt care about the fans at first. Got rid of free tv etc. So I guess NOW he is a good owner.

They had 2:00 Sunday starts a couple years ago too. Not sure whey they flipped back to 1:05.

Sox attendance is always debated/made fun of, but there are usually good deals out there-- esepcially for weekday games. They have family packs and such that come with a ticket and food vouchers, and I think they even came with a Tshirt last year.

I always liked the 2:00 start because that can be a bit of a haul from the NW burbs, and it was worse with a hangover-that extra hour makes a big difference.

I don't see how the Sox or the Score would stand to make any money by promoting 670 as the start time. They're already tied to each other. What would change?

_________________

Why do people care about advertisements and sponsorships inside a stadium? It's Major League Baseball. I don't care if they sell home plate if that extra money means a higher payroll.

Trust me, if Wrigley Field wasn't already considered a "brand", they would find ways to get more ads inside that park. The only reason there isn't more signage on that outfield wall is because it's covered with ivy.

I dont think anyone here has a problem with it.

I have my own reason why the White Sox started Sunday afternoon games at 2:05p a few years ago, Frank. To my knowledge, many Sox fans went to church which prompted the later start time on Sunday afternoons until a few years ago.

Oh Really SHARK?

I don't think people care about a few straight out ad signs. It's understandable, but going to a Sox game now I feel like the scene in A.I. with all the ads blaring at once. I don't like going anywhere with too many signs, I just feel like the place is more concerned about me doing this and not doing that, then when I miss a sign , I violated some rule they created and now subject to the punishment they have for me in the small print because I crossed the red line on a Friday before 1 PM!!

There is on mine - it's digital.
