Fun, CHEAP, night out with the kids!!

POLL: You can pick more then one date, but below reply how many people will be going.

My son, and my daughters school (like all the rest of the schools in SO MD)did a "Hit a Home RUn with Reading" and when they read four books they got a free ticket to a Bowie Baysox game. Well, after my daughter gave her ticket away and I had to find another one, we took the youngins to the game. What a great time had by all.. A LOT more entertaining then a MLB game, with games between innings, sing-a-longs.. dizzy bat, sumo wrestling, etc. Game went into extra innings, then the fireworks, for a minor league team, and almost a weekly event the fireworks were impressive. For that night, two adult tickets ran $7 a piece, I think Reserved Box seats were $12.

At the regular price, I think a family of five can still be entertained for 3 or 4 hours for less then $50. (We ate at McDonalds on the way there saving HUGE $$$$'s)

Think a forum night at the ball park might be in order.. YES there are beer tents!!

I have been several times, when they first opened. It is close by, cheap, fun, a great little stadium and I think a trip will be in order this summer.:yay

Yep.

So what do you think.. forum night, or private/ personal forum night? I think having an SOMD Forum night at the ball park would be cool.. especiallly if we can get enough people to rent out complete reserved boxes..

I think Vrai ought to look at a somd.com night at the Baysox.

I love going to see the Baysox. It's a nice stadium, an easy drive from here, relatively inexpensive, and we always have a lot of fun.
