Pods22 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hey everyone. Anyone going to Elvis Night? Do they do anything before the game at the park? I have never been in before game time. I hear that Buffalo Wings and Rings is having an Elvis Show before and after the game, so that is an option if the park doesn't really do much for pregame. Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchtower41 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) The flying Elvis' fly in on parachutes during the national anthem and afterwards right before the firwork display (fully equipped with roman candles coming out their arses), at least they used to jump before and after games, not sure anymore. They also have an Elvis look-alike parade along the warning track, and a bunch of cover Elvis acts. Looking forward to our annual patio party!

Then after the game, before the fireworks, they do a looooooooooooooooong, painful tribute show with an Elvis impersonator doing like a 10 song set, before they even start the fireworks. It was way too much last year, took like 45 minutes, before they even started the fireworks. Hopefully they shorten it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Barring excitement on the field, Elvis Night is the best game to attend every year. It is always packed, it is typically a nice Friday night, the crowd itself is fun, and it is relatively late in the season so there is usually building pennant excitement. The promotion itself is silly and contrived, but that is what it is meant to be. It is an absolute blast in my opinion and I will be there again this year.

Knows every song ever recorded by Elvis. Not sure that is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods22 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 So I think we are going to go to Buffalo Wings and Rings pregame and then take the shuttle over to the game. They are having an Elvis show from 4:30-6. Then we will hang out and watch the post game show at the park. We may go to Buffalo Wings and Rings after for the Elvis show which if I remember correctly is from 11-12:30am. That is TBD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
