The way to fans’ hearts (or wallets) is through their stomachs
Cito may be back, but as the Jays’ season comes to a close with the team in second last (they’re presently 26 games away from the league’s top spot), there are fewer and fewer reasons to head to the Rogers Centre. Organizers are trying to remedy that by offering an all-you-can-eat package for this weekend’s games against the Mariners. Thanks to a great fan response (sales are up 30 per cent for this deal over a similar offer last season), all the hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, peanuts and soft drinks one can eat are included in the price of a $39 ticket for a 200-level seat. Sadly, the deal does not include the items people particularly want: pizza and booze.
Rogers hopes that by filling the fans up with crappy food, they will forget (briefly?) how truly crappy this team is.
When JP goes, he should take Cito with him. It’s time to stop celebrating what this team did 16 years ago.
