I'll just paint a blue stripe down the middle of my shirtless chest ... same difference, right? Although my pasty, translucent skin has more of that neon-tan thing going on.
I can't be mad at this one.... it's so well done.... Just watch.#DOOP https://t.co/OfpnibIIXE— Philadelphia Union (@PhilaUnion) May 5, 2017 you win this round interns, you win....
Here you go...how embarrassing is this tweet with intense music trying to show how EPIC this is? I still feel like we're run from a promotion standpoint like a minor league baseball team. 866385021124268032 is not a valid tweet id
Yep, I was super excited for that video and it's just edited so poorly. We will always find things to complain about.
I mean, the phillies do the skydiver thing every year..... The United States Navy Parachute Team-Leap Frogs delivered the baseball for the 1st pitch! https://t.co/CkILxRrwKa— Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) April 6, 2015 I guess you could argue the editing is trying too hard? Idk.
It's pretty ballsy to do parachute into Talen. You're coming in from 12k right into the northbound flight approach for PHL. I'd hate to get sucked into the jet wash of flight AA4589 from CLT and go into a flat spin headed out to sea. PULL UP MAVERICK PULL UP!!!!!
I think when NYCFC did in a year or so back, like 3 guys jumped but only 2 landed in the stadium. I still don't know what happened to the other guy...
This sort of thing makes me nervous. When I was at Rutgers one of the first games in the rebuilt stadium featured skydivers delivering balls. One of them landed in an awful way, shattering his leg and leaving a big divot in the field. It was really awful while they were getting him treated and taken away by an ambulance. When the first guy came in hot Saturday and slid, I cringed. The second one was bad too because he hung there and landed hard.
My brother was an Airborne Ranger jumpmaster who broke his back in a accident involving a chute collapse - ended his career but he's doing okay. Different than stunt skydiving but still dangerous endeavor. Think it would be that much harder to land next to the river with the variable wind currents. He always said wind was a huge problem.
I disagree. I go to the games solely for the drum line, giant flags (that people stand on???), Doop! Tifo, $5 gift card-a-chutes, pregame puppies, halftime youth soccer and food trucks not in food trucks.
First, the gift cards are the worst. They fall on the same five rows of people every week and people turn into savages to grab them. The drum line and flags? Blah... Haven't seen the puppies. My son's club did the halftime game, it was fun for those kids but could live without it. I'm not going near those food truck stalls again. Pitiful service on first attempt.
They should do bobble figurines featuring whatever part of Maurice Edu is injured this month to help us keep track (bobble-knee, bobble-ankle, etc.).
Well those things aren't exactly for all of "us" here on BS. Us being the hardcore fan set. Those things are designed for the other 75-85% of the people at the stadium. I actually like the food truck stands. The BBQ joint has really good pulled pork and brisket. I've heard the poutine from the cheese curb place is pretty good too, though have yet to try it myself. Outside of that, I agree. i could do without the "Pagentry."
I may have to give up my boycott of stadium expenditures to try out the poutine. My worry, though, is that it's not real poutine but the "this-is-what-American-chefs-think-poutine-should-be" type that I find in the brew pubs.
Although I totally agree with you, it was fun watching the skydivers through the eyes of my two boys.
The workers at the food stalls are not necessarily employees of the company selling the food. If your reason for not returning has to do with the employees, it is likely that there would be different workers the next time you go.
The Horde of Hoarders has demanded them since the half-sized Amobi "Lil Obama" Okugo bobbleheads were given out. They could have had a homerun with a Conner Casey bobblehead night. Not sure who's the most bobblehead worthy on the current team. It takes a certain type of face to look good on one of those. Bedoya is already a cardboard box. I guess Sapong? Fabinho might be cool. He has a Bobblehead worthy mug. Or thinking outside the box -- Earnie Stewart bobblehead? Maybe on the Iron Throne like that tifo last year. Or maybe Jay Sugarman, exiting the Sugarcopter. But who am I kidding...beggars can't be choosers. It could be Creavalle or Tibbett for all care. We demand a real bobblehead night.
