Have You Ever Been On Jumbotron/Stadium Camera (1 Viewer)

[zamboni]

Yes. Wife won a random gift basket during the Somerset Patriots (Yankee AA) game. Worst gift basket ever. Applebees gift card that expired in like 2 weeks, and a certificate for free axe throwing at a local place that was for mid-week only, and I think only for one person.

I've been to a few of their games. That repetitive infernal "Somerset!" chant by one dude, followed by the crowd saying "Patriots!", still rings in my ears.

Wife hid the other card for the second person. She wanted to be the only one throwing axes

Ha Ha. Yep. That chat does get old really fast. It's a fun, easy place to see some baseball, and every now and then, you'll get a good guy doing a rehab start or something.

I was at a ballgame with my wife's sister and I was absolutely certain that we would end up on the Jumbotron for the "Kiss Camera".
Luckily we didn't.

I had a similar experience recently. Was staying in downtown Phoenix for work and had something significant get resolved so I had a night to kill without work or family. Found seats right behind home plate at the Dbacks game for cheap because I was purchasing a single ticket and it was like a random Tuesday night. Third inning this girl* sits next to me and after a couple of innings we strike up a conversation. She's a travel nurse new to the area** and basically did exactly what I did - had a night to kill and got nice tickets to a game. While the conversation was platonic (I quickly dropped that I was married and she relayed she had a boyfriend back from where she was from), it had to appear like we were together or on a date. Kiss cam started and we both just sort of awkwardly looked at each other and then held our collective breaths as I think we both sensed how awkward it would be if they showed us. Fortunately, no.

She then got wasted and tried to get me to go to a bar afterwards with. I chivalrously got her an uber and returned to my hotel alone.

*Females my age are still "girls" to me but she was probably late 30s so woman is a more apt description.

**For those of you dating, travel nurses are such a target rich environment.

No, but I am still having stabby feelings towards the family (husband, wife, teenage daughter, 2 6 or 7 year old sons) that sat behind me at the Twins game on Tuesday. Their entire goal was to get on the kiss cam, or dance cam, or whatever other stupid cams they had. And they thought the only way to do this was to scream at the top of their lungs every possible moment, as if the cameraman on the opposite side of the field could hear them and that's why he would choose them

That is annoying for sure. Another annoyance is the group of people that are randomly talking about their dating life and how bad men are and how dating sucks and how this guy did this and I had to do this and yada yada yada while on their phones talking non stop even when they are eating or drinking. It's just loud enough that it catches your attention and just odd enough that you start paying attention to the inane stories and you totally forget that you are at a ballgame.

This happened multiple times this summer while I was at a college summer league games for my son's team. It was annoyingly frustrating. My wife got more pissed off and was on the verge of turning around and telling them to STFU.

Have you ever made the trek to Scranton to see the AAA Railriders? What a great stadium.

yep, I’ve been to two Anaheim Ducks games and been on the jumbotron both times

I had Ducks season tix from 1993-2009.

Got on many times. My son was on all the time. Like 20-30 times per year.
