Stitch n Pitch
What better way to spend this Saturday Night than at Chase Field's annual Stitch
And Pitch event held during the Diamondbacks/ Cardinals game? Knitters, crocheters and inveterate cross-stitchers may purchase normally empty $20 upper deck reserved seats for the bargain price of $15, and receive a nifty pink tote bag full of needlepoint goodies.
Needle artisans of all ages and skill levels are welcome, provided they adhere to the following TNNA guidelines:
- All participants must sit in the sections(318-322) designated for the event.
- Knitters may not cheer during the game, lest they poke someone's eye out.
The Diamondbacks ongoing shadow promotion, "Pitch And Bi+ch", will run concurrently and is expected to draw the usual fourteen thousand season ticket holders.
Hmmm .... you can't being in bottles and cans and other possible projectiles, but KNITTING NEEDLES are ok?

I hear they're only accurate up to two yards, or a large afghan, whatever comes first.

I wish the Cards did stuff like this, but they know the stadium will sell out without promotions involving yarn. It's part of the tradeoff for a consistent sea of red, I suppose. However, there can't be too many things better than talking baseball with a knitter at the game.

Elle,
Knitting at the game is, I've recently learned, quite the rage. I'll wait quietly at home until ham radio operator night makes it's way to the ballpark ;-)
Good luck to your birds - they look like they'll need it. This is the saddest they've looked in a decade, at least here in Phoenix.
Thx for the visit :-)
