Thread Sox Nation

So, since the Lowell Spinners sell out year after year, every game, they have been cashing in buy offering a paid Thread Sox Nation membership thingy, similar to what the Red Sox are doing, but on a must less expensive scale.

Benefits include discounts at the Spinners souvenir store, and pre-sale ticket access.  Memberships cost $15 – $25, more benefits for the higher priced membership.

Nowhere near as Red Sox prices, or car prices, but I’ll pass.  Mike and I really don’t like going to Spinners games.  We’ve given it a few chances, but we just can’t watch a game at LeLacheur Park.  Little kids being allowed to use the seats and railings as jungle gyms, kicking us in the head, knocking over our food and beer…not much fun.

But that’s why these games sell out!  It’s a great place for idiot parents to bring their kids, let then run wild, and the ushers do absolutely NOTHING!  That has to be it.  At other ballparks we go to, when kids are even a tenth of the way as bad as the ones we’ve been assaulted by at LeLacheur, the ushers step up and say something, make the little crack monkeys go back and sit with their parents.

So I get it…Lowell wants to cater to families with out of control kids.  If that makes them money, good for them.  But I will take my money elsewhere, where I can watch a game without being kicked in the head.
