field of dreams

[shadows]

Tulsa has a new field of dreams.  Build it and they will come.  Someone forgot that Tulsa is a fast track city with a very short tension span.  Even they would not support football and now on the short run it is indicated that much difficulty is being encountered in holding the audience in their seats in the slow moving baseball games.

Do you believe that Tulsa can overcome the concept that all entertainment, like concerts, can be converted to the fast track?

The $2 dollar tickets produced less than $10.000 in gross revenue.  Any business person know when they unlock the door each morning how much the cost of doing business is going to be that day.   Now one would assume that the cost in the instant case would not cover the opening of the doors.

The now crowd who pay $50.00 per ticket to hear the jive screamers puts many of the world series fans of the thirties in the rocking chairs.

Have been told  that white elephants love peanuts when fed by the bureaucracies.   Specially when building monuments as the only distributor in the city charging cost to the rate payers.  Then also the franchise tax assessed by the city is placed on the rate payers bill.  Only the elitist of the inter circle thrive on this concept from their own little private cubby holes.  Losses on the promotion tickets are charged back to the rate payers.

For a minute there that didn't look like the traditional 5-7-5 haiku.

Well done.

you do realize that those same people that buy the 2 dollar ticket are also going to pay 4 dollars for a large pop, 5 dollars for a large beer, 3.25 for a hot dog and so forth and so on? You don't expect these people to come out to the ballpark, sit there and not eat/drink anything.  Come on man...... 

Just like thirsty thursdays, those people not only drink beer, but also eat hotdogs, cotton candy, ice cream, yada yada yada.

It was advertised as $2 night with hotdogs and other eats going for two dollars.  The figures quoted must be the charges paid to the specials kitchens in the elite's cubby holes.   

Sorry thought the rate payers park would be owned in under table transactions by the rate payers that were already overcharged by desk shuffling of supplies.

actually I sat down 2nd row, 3rd base side behind the dugout with the "regular folk".  Guess they discount the drinks and hotdogs too.  2 dollars is better then no dollars I guess, along with dogs and cokes too.

If you are refering to the USFL, no one supported it, period.

And who wanted to go and sit in Skelly Stadium on a wonderful muggy July evening?

Also don't forget at the same time we were in the midle of a recession.
