In the Largest Giveaway in the 102-year History of the World Series, Fans to Receive Coupon for RoadyXT Satellite Radio at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago for Game One and Minute Maid Park in Houston for Game Five

 

 

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- To celebrate the first game of the 2005 World Series, XM Satellite Radio will offer a free satellite radio to every fan who enters U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago for Game One this Saturday, it was announced today by XM and Major League Baseball.

The giveaway will be the largest in the 102-year history of the World Series.

 

When fans arrive at the ballpark for the first game of the Fall Classic, every ticket holder will receive a coupon good for the brand-new Delphi XM RoadyXT satellite radio (MSRP: $79.99), plus a World Series commemorative pin attached to the coupon.

 

In addition, if the 2005 World Series goes to a fifth game, XM will extend this offer to fans at the Minute Maid Park in Houston for Game Five.

 

The 2005 World Series caps the first season of Major League Baseball action carried live and nationwide on XM, the official satellite radio network of MLB. XM carried every single game of the 2005 regular season, and is carrying all postseason games through the World Series.

 

"XM raised the bar for Major League Baseball coverage by giving fans across the country every game, all season long," said Howard Jacobs, senior vice president of strategic partnership marketing, XM Satellite Radio. "In the one year since XM announced it would carry Major League Baseball games, XM's customer base has doubled to more than five million subscribers. We want every fan at the first game of the World Series to experience XM Satellite Radio for themselves. And if the series goes to five games, we will do it again for Game Five."

 

Fans have enjoyed unprecedented coverage of the postseason on XM, which broadcast four feeds of each game during the league championship series: the home team feed, visiting team feed, national feed on ESPN Radio, and Spanish- language play by play from ESPN Espanol. This comprehensive, four-feed coverage will continue through the World Series. Plus, XM's exclusive baseball talk radio channel MLB Home Plate (XM Channel 175) will broadcast live from the stadiums and other locations in Chicago and Houston during the World Series. XM will have a major in-stadium presence in Chicago and Houston, including XM listening stations and XM signage.

 

The Delphi XM RoadyXT is the newest satellite radio for listening to XM's 150-plus channels of live sports, commercial-free music, and a wide variety of other entertainment choices. The respected PC Magazine recently awarded the RoadyXT radio an "Editor's Choice" distinction in a five-star review.

 

Each RoadyXT coupon distributed at the ballpark will have a unique code number. The coupon holder can use the code number to order the RoadyXT online. Consumers pay a $12.95 monthly subscription to listen to the XM service. When ordering the RoadyXT, the coupon holder must prepay for the first three months of service.

Daaayum!

 

That's TOTALLY kick ass!

 

 

Very. Bar far the best WS gift. In the past I got a nice duffle bag, a jacket, and a signed team photo and ball. AS games they gave us player 8X10's and seat cushions and some other stuff. This is definitely way above those.

You and other season ticket holders using the tickets for the games don't count to my rant. You people are true fans who can afford this stuff. I am ranting against the idiots dropping the tons of money on eBay and the sort. If this park was sold out to the fans, and not the...whoever the hell got all of those tickets and the MLB buddies, and season ticket holders, then this is a cool as hell promotion. But as is, it's all a bunch of salt on the wounds to those of us who would LOVE to go to it, CAN spend the $145-$180 FACE VALUE, and would REALLY appreciate anything "limitied edition" with our Sox logo on it, and a World Series logo. If you don't use it for having it already, I can still see you keeping the pin, and then doing something right with the radio.

 

I don't know, I have nothing against the organization for the way this turned out for the majority of the "working class" fans, but I have a whole buncha problems with MLB and Bud Selig for letting it burn the people in the ass that halp sustain this league year in and year out.

 

***example time for these yahoo's spending this BIG bucks not being true fans***

 

If you can afford a $9000 ticket...why don't you have season tickets, thereby allowing you to buy a WS ticket at face value???

I wonder how many people are gonna actually use the coupons?  You still have to pay $40.00 to get the radio.  I think I'll take a pass.  I'll just be happy to be in the stadium for a WS game.. something I never dreamed I would experience!!!

 

 

It's a $200 value.

Sirius = Howard Stern

 

XM = who cares? they dont have Howard Stern

 

Exactly...suck on that Rock Raines.

 

If I may be Sirius for a moment, the basic programming is the same. Sirius' draw is Stern...XM's is MLB.

No interest in other games?

 

Actually no. When it comes to baseball, for me, its the Sox or nothing. And the fact that Sirius has football or basketball isn't a draw to me either.

 

If I lived out of state, XM would rock.

I got it to listen to Wills, and found myself listening to tons of other games. It's rather addicting.

 

You know what, in a year like this, I could see that happening. The Sox had me wrapped up in all of baseball more than usual...which is usually a lot. Now it was a really, really lot.
