"Thanks for putting the site up for us players to look at and even get pictures and videos that we wouldn’t be able to get if it wasn’t for your support. All the players look at it and have a blast with what you write. You make us feel like big leaguers."

In the land of hockey, a baseball fan (and a hockey fan as well) talks about the Calgary Vipers, Golden League Baseball, maybe a little Major League Baseball, and anything else that threatens to entertain.
Use to be back in the days of old (okay last season) the ushers would wipe down the seats before games. However, in an effort to make/save money all day staff (with the exception of concessions) are asked to arrive right before their shift. It makes for some customer service blunders – the seats being one.
Even the concessions folks are in a bit later than they used to be. As for a high pressure hose, that would make a mess of it’s own, as the flexible join between sections G and H aren’t perfect, resulting in water pouring down onto the concourse, where it would probably sit for days…some nice water and some scrubbing would probably do the trick however.
Someone (nonstaff type) need to put the idea out to the man who is “now running the show”. I think he needs to be reminded that while saving/making money is a good thing one has to also think of the customers. If anyone wants to speak with Mr. Conrad I am sure the “Gatekeeper” at the games can point you in his direction or you could email him the contact info is on the web page. Just a hint I mean thought LoL
Even folks with the highest priced season tickets in the league have to wipe the bird crap of their own seats before the games… Shameful I think. Looks like in an effort to churn some dough, which is good for the team in the short/long run, the front office has lost track of the small stuff that matters…
