		<description>Heh heh.  Reading this a little over a year later, and the &quot;perennial loser&quot; Cardinals were just in the Super Bowl. With Fitzgerald and Warner as the superstars.</description>

		<description>Sleep by the boring third or fourth inning and wake up in time for the seventh inning stretch. Watch more game till the twelfth boring tie score inning and go home before the whole crowd, listen to the end of the game on the car radio and wish you were still asleep in the fifth and waking up again in the seventh to the sound of the roar of the crowd. And the home of the Braves.</description>

		<description>Nothing from the ST Paul Saints. There is so much to do at those games. I mean there is the hot tubs out in left field. The Ushertainers. Always something goign on inbetween innings. I went to a game once where they had chess wreastling it was a ton of fun. Or a contest to see who can eat a meal of spacefood the fastest. But what do you expect when Bill Murry is part owner. Also it was named the funnest place to see a ball game by ESPN or SI I forget which one but it is a blast.

I mean look at some of the other promotions that I found on wikipedia

In August, 2007, the Saints announced that rubber dog toys would be given out as a jab to the federal dogfighting case involving Atlanta Falcons&#039; quarterback Michael Vick.[2]
In April 2006, the Saints announced that rubber boats would be given out during a May 27, 2006 game, ostensibly to honor 30th anniversary of the television show The Love Boat. However, details of the promotion indicate that it is intended as a jab at the 2005 boat scandal involving the Minnesota Vikings, where several members of the team were allegedly involved in illicit behavior on a private cruise. The promotional rubber boats use the same color as the Vikings uniforms (purple and yellow) and are named Minnetonka Queen (a reference to Lake Minnetonka, where the cruise took place).[1]
In August 2003, the Saints held &quot;Randy Moss Hood Ornament Night&quot;, poking fun at the Viking&#039;s wide receiver Randy Moss. Earlier that year, Moss was involved in an incident where he bumped a traffic control officer with his car while he attempted to make a turn.[1]
During the 2002 Major League Baseball labor negotiations, the Saints gave away seat cushions with pictures of commissioner Bud Selig on one side and player&#039;s association Executive Director Donald Fehr on the other.[1]
In 2002, in response to Selig&#039;s controversial decision to end the MLB All-Star Game in a 7-7 tie, the Saints gave out neckties (or &quot;ties&quot;) with Bud Selig&#039;s image.[1]

No better place to go for a game</description>
