I shared my feelings that the "May the 4th Be With You" stadium gimmick has been played out. I appreciated the creativity in it, but it's been done year-after-year and is now very (very) tired.
For our Readers' Thread today (and reminding everyone to be very appropriate in your responses) please respond to the following:
If you ran the Yankees' Marketing Department, what new giveaway would you bring to fans in attendance at Yankee Stadium?

how about rotating days when all fans are entered in drawings for a lunch with a Yankee legend. they have more legends than any one. i feel like they could do this probably one game in every homestand
who would be your top 3 Yankee legend choices to have lunch with?
off top of my head
Mariano
Guidry
there are so many other choices. I am a big O Neil fan and Gardy fan. I am sure I am forgetting someone obvious
This is for next year.
Do a “#28 World Series Replica Ring” promo.
Autographed MRI results.
Do they really need to give away anything to fill the stadium?
a Bread and Circuses lottery..... in addition to the commemorative t-shirts for all attendees,
a drawing wherein a few winners are selected to receive free admission and free food for 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1 game(s)
with the grand prize winner awarded the use of the owner's box for self and family for the season's final series against the Orioles
Something with dunk the GM or the Manager after the game. Special random drawings during the game. How many people do you think wouldn't stay after the game, if picked, if they knew they were going to do that?
