How To Keep the SkyDome Rockin'!



Tuesday was a great day at the ballpark, even if that stadium was SkyDome and the roof was closed.

The game was a great pitchers duel between the student and teacher - Halladay vs. Burnett. What made it even better, beside the win was the fact that 43 000 fans were in attendance. The atmosphere was great, reminiscent of 1989-93. Lots of cheering, the wave, go Jays go chants and of course heckling of the Yankees superstars.

The concern is Wednesday night. The game tonight was attended by about half as many fans, the energy and the walk up crowd just wasn't the same. So how do the Jays continue to get 40 000+ fans to the SkyDome for games?

Here is a top 10 things the Toronto Blue Jays could do to bring the fans out to SkyDome

1. Every game is a bobblehead game
2. Play against the Red Sox and Yankees 82 times a year
3. Give away more chicken wings during the 5th inning
4. Pitch Roy Halladay on 1 day rest
5. Ensure that the opponent always has a former Blue Jay that is hated
6. $2 tickets
7. Wear the throwback baby blue uniforms for every home game
8. Reduce the cost of concessions ($11 for a draught beer, WTF?)
9. Change the name of the stadium back to SkyDome
10. Bring back Diamond the mascot or add cheerleaders!
