Night Train Veeck

Hey everyone! First off, I'd like to thank everybody for their ideas and support in making the debut of the Sox Supporters great! It went really well! We had flags, drums, banners, got solid TV time, and stadium shot time also! Just under 70 people showed up! I have some pictures that are currently in the works, so I will post them when I get them in my hands. The flags and chants were in full force, and the whole crowd was wondering what was going on...it was perfect! Next, I wanted to let everyone know that I believe they are working on really getting this thing going for next year, so keep it tucked in the back pocket, and keep the ideas coming. I have a few tweaks and things written down for experiencing it, and they really want to work with people on this, so it can be great! Thanks again, everyone, and I hope that even more people head out next time!

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 12:57 PM) The problem with that analogy is you know in advance what the movie will be like. The movie results do not change from day to day. With a sporting event, you do not know if it will be a good or bad game. Heading out to the ballpark to watch baseball is a good show. If you judge the experience by the team winning or not, then you would never go because you do not know the results before the game. Even two last place MLB teams put on a damn fine movie show. Well said, Tex.

Then you should come over and join in! Love to have ya next year! Shoot me your email address and ill keep ya posted.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 09:39 AM) Good luck with this tonight. I can't make it myself, but this would be awesome if it could catch on. Thanks for the mojo! Maybe you can head out next year?? It should be a great time.

Side note: I just met with a group of Section 8 guys (section8chicago.com), and they have a lot of flags, and a few banners that are being brought in. Should be a lot of fun!

The show is looking pretty good at this point! Save for the fact we aren't in the race, this is some of the best ball we have played! If you want bang for your limited entertainment dollars, I'd say a good team, and half off tix is a pretty good way to do it

Well, North Side, ya beat me to it...I don't know where these "rules" are but I sure haven't seen em You should follow the real Sox fan rules, and come on out, and support em! Besides, a little late after elimination, they aren't sucking at all! So head on out! Worse comes to worse you have a a few beers, have a little fun and get out to a game for half price! Am I going to be able to shake the notorious North Sides hand?!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The time is nearing! Tomorrow is the trial run for the revival of the Sox Supporters. Things have been going well in drumming up people to come, and thanks to those that have emailed me with all of their ideas, and thoughts to make this great! For anyone else interested that hasn't heard already, here is the link to the tickets. Just use the code "support" and you are good to go! https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/go.htmI?l...646&g=69349 If anyone has any other questions, please let me know, and I would be happy to answer any. We have some banners and flags coming over from Section 8, and the Brigade and feel free to bring any of your own to contribute. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

With the blessing of the Forum Gods (Jim "Tex"), I wanted to give everyone access to the link for the Sox Supporters game on Friday. If you click on this, and use "support" as the code, you will be able to purchase tickets to head out to the game for the special rate (50% off). https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/go.htmI?l...646&g=69349 Bring out signs (bonus and tv points to hilarity), banners, and flags to get this thing cooking. Let me know if anyone has any questions, or more ideas to contribute. As I mentioned, people will be gathering at Rocky's before the games, and getting to the stadium a little early to get things in place. Let's have some fun with this thing! I look forward to meeting people at the game!

Sox Fans! I have received a link from the White Sox for tickets to this revival of the Sox Supporters! They even came out to be a little lower than I anticipated. I have had a few people email me, and will be shooting them the link now, but if you are interested, let me know either by the forums, or by email, and I can send it over to you. I am looking forward to speaking with everyone, and getting together a group of fans to keep this going into next year! In addition, people are gathering at Rocky's on the southside before the game to get together, have a few brews, talk some baseball, and head to the park. Let me know if anyone has any questions, and I look forward to seeing you all Friday!

I definitely agree that the action on the field is extremely important! I think that's why once we have this first game down, we will be able to fine tune the section to work WITH the flow of the game, and ENHANCE the atmosphere instead of take away from it. He does have a point with the wave, but rest easy, this will be a sandbar to that. I think we can do a lot better than the wave Quinarvy, I'm glad to hear you are interested! Definitely let me know if you would like to join.

October 1st against Cleveland! 7:10! Not only will this be the test drive, but there will be fireworks also! Interested?

So, not only do we have an approved section for the game, but we also have an approved special ticket price! The Sox have agreed to both for that day's game, and now it will boil down to people interested in heading out and getting this thing going. I have already had a few people message me and send emails, so let me know if you are interested in heading out to the game, and any other ideas you have to make this thing great. Either shoot me an email at nighttrainveeck@gmail.com, or post a reply, and we can start getting it set up. If anyone has any other ideas, bring em on! Go Sox! Night Train Veeck

They did go on a ton of the road games for sure. If we can get enough of a following here, I would love to get that cooking later down the line.

That's exactly what we are going for: I am glad to hear people are digging the idea! I have had a few emails wanting to get more information, so let me know if you would like to be included and have access. Also, keep the input coming! This section needs to come from everyone who is involved, and these are all great ideas!
