things to do at an MLB game besides watch the game

Craptacular · 05-12-2006, 09:23 PM

OK, I need some good suggestions here. My brother-in-law suggested that for Mother's Day, we all go to a Brewer's game. Much to my chagrin, my wife's mom thought it was a good idea. So despite my hatred of MLB, in order to maintain family peace, I'm going to go see the Mets - Brewers game on Sunday. It sounds like we're going to have a large group, as my brother-in-law's wife's parents and brother and his fiance and her parents are also going. I was going to request that no suggestions involve me making a jackass of myself, but since that is not possible at FOFC, feel free to use all of your creativity. Fire away!

I should just emphasize Brewers.

Should be obvious, no?

INDalltheway · 05-12-2006, 09:33 PM

EAT!!!!!!!

Buccaneer · 05-12-2006, 09:34 PM

Then eat some more.

Craptacular · 05-12-2006, 09:35 PM

I should point out I don't drink.

Although this would be the time and place to start.

THE POINTE

Local radio personalities guide fans to game events at Miller Park. Ginger Jordan, Sandy Maxx, Audra Evans, and Bill Michaels are the Gameday Hosts at a live interactive area located on the Field level concourse in left centerfield known as the "Pointe." The personalities are not locked into the "Pointe" position and may be seen in various locations all over Miller Park throughout the game. The Pointe Show includes, but is not limited to, fan interviews, game show contests, sponsor advertisements, group acknowledgements, game highlights, and interest stories.

bring your Ipod and claim to be listening to the game "on the radio" while you actually listen to music?

Maple Leafs · 05-12-2006, 09:45 PM

You know what would be awesome? Bring your cell phone. Then, try to get on camera. Then, call your friends and wave at them.

That would be so freaking sweet!

gkb · 05-12-2006, 10:38 PM

Binoculars...scan the crowd for the hottest women there. Wait to see if she flashes...

This gave me a good chuckle.

Scan the Jumbotron for felons in hiding and report them to security when they kiss their moms during the 7th inning stretch.

Riggins44 · 05-12-2006, 11:21 PM

Maybe crack some salty nuts and toss them in your mouth. When that get's old just cram a foot long down your throat.

he said "an MLB game" not "a San Francisco showing of Brokeback Moutain"

Ryche · 05-13-2006, 01:44 PM

Seriously, the women at baseball games seem to be hotter than average. Drink some beer and scan the crowd.

Izulde · 05-13-2006, 03:36 PM

Fill out your scorecard. Yeah you'll still be watching the game, but you'll become interested in filling out your scorecard and trying to figure out just how you should denote exceptional plays.

It's what I do every time I go to a Brewer game and I don't care who wins, which thus far has been the case every time.

Joe · 05-13-2006, 03:40 PM

bring a book and read during the game

Easy Mac · 05-13-2006, 03:41 PM

Upper decker in the bathroom

DanGarion · 05-13-2006, 04:54 PM

Make a jackass of yourself. Duh!

sterlingice · 05-13-2006, 05:42 PM

If you don't want to go to the game, just stay home. Geez- I hate people who go to the game and A) talk on their phone the whole game B) talk loudly about something stupid the entire game or C) make a drunken ass of themselves. These are easily the three most dominant behaviors of non baseball fans.

you could also just run up and down the stairs all game

Went to the Phillies / Mets game this week that the Mets ran away with (10-0 after 3) so I was pretty much in this situation. There were 4 of us from work and 2 were Mets fans so we were stuck watching the whole game.

I found the sights to be amazing, a very large number of hot women there. Two event stand out as the best things of the game:

1) Two hot blonds who were trying to get camera time a few rows in front of us. When the camera guy came over, just as they were put on the screen they turned to each other and went into one hell of a kiss (the screen cut to another camera before they actually engaged entirely in the kiss but as I said, they were a couple rows in front of us so we didn't miss a thing.

2) Another hot woman a row behind us and across the aisle was dancing like mad to the music between innings. To the point where we almost started giving her dollars, very hot dancing.

JeeberD · 05-14-2006, 08:24 PM

Sounds like you got to see an exciting game...

Craptacular · 05-14-2006, 09:28 PM

Yeah, the last few innings had plenty of action. We missed the first inning while stuck in traffic / parking / line to get in. I had hope for some more excitement when Delgado got hit in the chest, but Pedro never retaliated ... c'mon, I would have loved to see him hit Prince Fielder and start a brawl. I spent a fair amount of time making faces at the little toddler in front of me. This is Milwaukee, so instead of hot chicks trying to get on camera, we had little kids and fat bald guys on the Jumbotron.

If it makes SI happy, I didn't do any of the three behaviors, although I should clarify that I am a BASEBALL fan ... I just hate MLB. There were enough other people around me making fools of themselves. You've got to wonder about people who scream insults at players from the upper deck, sitting with their two young kids.
