It’s half-baked. At least in Massachusetts they are using Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park as mass vaccination sites. Open air + high capacity.

Actually flip it and it would work. Get the vaccine and get a ticket voucher for when they open the stadium again.

If I had to buy a season ticket to get a vaccination, I would buy ten season tickets and give nine to friends and family.

Hey if that’s what it takes, I’m all for it.

Boy, sports entertainment is in jeapordy.

I understand the Toronto Blue Jays may think about doing the same thing. only 2 problems -the vaccine won’t be available in to the general Public in Ontario until September and and even then only if they water it by 20%so they can get 6 doses out of every 5. But since the Jays play watered down baseball i guess the last part really isn’t a problem

Maybe we could call the game the Chinese Hoax Bowl.

I remember Charlie O Finley’s promotions when he owned the Oakland A’s. He would hold ½ price Monday night double headers during the summer and on top of that if you were a student age 13 – 21 and had straight A’s on your last report card you could get in free for the summer. I spent a lot of time at the ballpark for those years. Finley brought us prime time night games for the World Series and the Designated Hitter. He also had ideas for a designated runner, different colored bases and baseballs that same optic yellow color as tennis balls for night games. Some of his ideas were great, others not so much.

Tickets are easier to get than vaccines.

Stick it.
