All-you-can-eat seats

by craig on Mar 7, 2008 8:25 AM EST in News and Rumors

The Marlins are boldly going were many teams have gone before and introducing All-you-can- eat seats for the 2008 season.

Florida Marlins (Dolphin Stadium): 400 seats for six Friday night games. Location: Club level. Third base line. What's included: Hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, soft drinks. Price: $45 in advance; $50 gameday. Mostly aimed at groups, with some individual sales mixed in. Regular price: $40.

I've got news for you, the list isn't a starter list - that's it. If you pony up the extra five or ten dollars, as the case may be, you can forget about it including beer, frozen lemonades or anything else for that matter. The list is complete.

So if you have a few extra dollars on hand or your arteries are flowing too freely, this maybe the promotion you are looking for.

I will admit that when I was an Astros season ticket holder and they had a $1.00 hot dog promotion, I tried to put up a number that would make Joey Chestnut scream "No Mas".

Naturally, it didn't worked out that way - but I gave it a try.

It's the lease, stupid.

Copying over what I said at The Book:

I think it's interesting that you can see the dynamics of the Marlins' lease even in promotions like this. Since they get no part of concession sales anyway, there's really no loss for them. So what happens? While most of the teams in the article have actual all-you-can-eat seats that exist through the entire season, the Marlins' deal is actually a promotion, running for only six games.
