Bring back Photo Night

[rickh150]

With the season close to being lost, the team probably will be looking at ways to get fans in the park. I propose a Photo Night, ala warning track style in the 80's.

 

I went as a kid at County Stadium and have a cool picture with Fingers. Because of it, I feel a connection to the man and history of the franchise, even if small. Now,the team has the winter warmup with photos and pictures, which is very popular. Autograph Saturdays are also a popular monthly theme. A photo night seems like a great way for the team to connect or to reconnect with fans.... Bring back Gorman and Gumby too along with Jenkins and Sheets. Make it a fun event before the game.

The season close to being lost? 19 games in...?

Yep..... Being .500 would take a monumental turnaround.

We are on pace for a record of 33-129, we just have to believe!

While I don't agree with the blatant negativity.... Photo Night was awesome. My family went almost every year. They'd definitely garner some goodwill from the fans for bringing it back.

Ohhhh man.....the memories of photo night. running around the warning track to get to your favorite player. Great memories of going to that game numerous times as a kid. Yes, I'd love to see them bring that back. Although, if done today, I'm sure they'd do it somewhere outside of the actual field of play.

The team could get clever with this kind of thing. I know players don't want to sit there for hours and take millions of photos, so maybe do something like have one or two (or whatever number works) players before the game participate, then randomly pick a few hundred people to go on the field (or wherever) to do photos for an hour.

 

That would be pretty fun. Every paying ticket coming through the gate between 2-3 hours before game time gets some kind of scratch off or something like that. Winners just go to a designated location and get in line for a photo. Kind of a fun incentive to enter the park early (and spend money!).

i believe that on deck has replaced photo night.

 

Autograph fridays was also a night feature that they had a few years ago as well for kids.

 

I just don't see it coming back.

Was a great promo way back in the day, but it will never come back.... no way will players mix with the commoners these days for free. Do these guys even sign autographs for the kids anymore?

I believe they still have Autograph night on either Friday or Saturday for kids. They used to have a few block parties a summer, but that got to be too much hassle. They'd give out random tickets, and you could get either a Trevor Hoffman, or a Chad Moeller. I'm sure a buncha people complained and they ended it. Or the autograph hounds ruined it by figuring out a scam to get whoever they wanted.
