They strayed away from promoting the fundamentals deck this year. Wonder if that'll get changed up.

Good point. They've barely promoted it at all or even done the kid HR derby anymore- perhaps it will be gone.

I bet it may be easier to sell volume on small video board ads vs. the yearlong committment. I wonder if that would equal out or be worse thou

 

a great point. can't wait until the commercial and corp companies start to work with the sox again.

There is zero chance they will get rid of the fundamental deck. It is one thing that separates USCF from other parks. Kids love it. I have seen the HR derby most games I have attended this year.

i agree. there is your built in pipeline to getting fans.

I would imagine most of the posters here with young kids probably hit the fundamentals deck every time they take them to a game.

that is great !! .... it is a family time .... that was this present owners wanted .... a family unit coming to the games. like the time of the 60's, 70's and 80's. esp with veeck sitting in the bleachers holding court to anyone who want to come up and talk baseball.

 

to me, veeck is one of the demigod's of baseball, he instill family time for baseball.

Really? I've been to 20 games and I've seen the HR derby game no more than 5 times.

Maybe you have gone when it rained earlier. It was rainy this year and they seem to bag the HR thing even if it rained 2 hours before the game.

My kids usually ask to go up there when we go. They love the running race.

a fan who is doing what veeck always wanted.... family at the sox games. yessss.

Really? When has opening day ever been under 30,000?

My comment was meant to be sarcastic I'm pretty sure you understood my overall meaning given the numerous issues with this organization at this point in history.

Yeah I've been to 15 games and barely remember seeing the hr derby thing at. Rain could explain it, I don't know. That said I wouldn't be surprised if they do something to it. No way they'd tear it down but a repackaging of it rather.

 

Itd be cool to turn into a giant bar overlooking the whole stadium but I guess we got enough of those, especially if they plan on doing something big with the 2nd level bar. Kids still need something.

You should have said the day after opening day.

They could do so much more w/ the fundamentals deck. I have a 2 year old who was really excited to go up there, but there wasn't much for her to do. A small playground would do wonders.
