Posted by Fred G on Wed Jun 14 04:47:08 2006, in response to Re: USA Loses BIG in 1st WC Game, posted by Peter Rosa on Tue Jun 13 09:32:31 2006. A baseball game used to last 2 hours. Now it's double that, mostly because of the advertising holdup. In addition to its relative cost, it was like going to a movie, something you did in addition to your afternoon/evening activities, not an event that you centered the whole day around. That Met game I attended a couple of weeks ago took 4 hours for 9 innings, and another hour and a half for the extra innings. There's 5 and a half hours, so now it's a major daily event, and the tailgate party has been borrowed from football, so it's more like an 8 hour day at the ballpark. Nothing against tailgating, mind you; it's ok to get your beer drinking prepwork done at $1 a bottle rather than at $6.75. That's another gripe for a future rant...your pal, Fred |
