I wouldn't be surprised if that was done as a deliberate attempt to take away focus from the team and put the media attention on the coach prior to the opener.
Wasn't this a story from last year? Maybe I was drunk, but I'm certain this same story was posted a while back.
The problem for me is, these a-hole drunks give good-natured drunks (yours truly included) a bad name.
Amazing show. Not overproduced and had a very natural vibe.
My only complaint was that the crowd felt a little muted. That could be just me comparing it to a regular game-day experience, but I was expecting a little more noise.
Thanks.
That would work out well. We leave my house at 8:00 (I'm literally 2.5 miles from the Stadium - much less as the crow flies) and we'll be in our seats just in time.
So hearing from someone that went to show about the timing;
I was told the show was listed as starting at 8PM, with the opener playing fr about 45-55 minutes, a switchover, and the Stones went on at 9:45 PM and played until after midnight.
Can those of you who attended the various other shows confirm this was roughly the same? I ask because I'm chartering a bus to shuffle people to and from the stadium.
I think the team occasionally gets clothing items that aren't available to the gneral public.
That is one sweet jacket though. Reminds me of the one Richie Aprile took off Rocco DiMeo. C*#$sucker had the toughest reputation in essex county!
I don't think this was about any axes to grind, but rather the OP noting that the data implied we had high concession costs relative to most other teams, which seemed surprising.
Also, the hot dogs suck.
Not sure how the hot dogs at other venues rate, but the ones they serve at RWS are complete garbage. Small dried out dogs on stale (often very hard) rolls.
Pretty sure DNC/JJ are laughing all the way to the bank.
Looks like we're middle of the pack when it comes to hot dogs. Average is 5.50, which is where we are:

Beer prices however have us tied for 3rd most expensive. Presumably they assume you'll have more beers than hot dogs, so I guess it's not too surprising we came in at 6.

Ha! Never thought of that, but it would have been worth a try. At least if it didn't work I'd have a Brady jersey to dress up a mannequin and burn him in effigy.
Pretty much every time I buy a jersey, the player leaves within a year. Poz, Whitner, Fitz, Morris (yeah that's right - Sammy Morris! ) etc.
So if there is anyone you'd like to ensure isn't on the roster next year, convince me to buy their jersey.
