SnakePitFest 4.3: Sunday, September 25th vs Giants

PrintTICKET SALES NOW CLOSED! It's also going to be Star Wars Day at Chase Field: whether that's an incentive or not, may depend on you... Could it be the day we clinch the West? Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, should be pretty mammoth. Here's the details:
By popular demand, we're going to try and add another SnakePitFest over the final weekend of the season, when we face the Giants. A few changes from previous fests:
1) It's Sunday not Saturday
2) We'll be in the left-field bleachers, rather than the bullpen area - couldn't get tickets there at this short notice.
3) Total cost will be $16 per ticket: there's not much discount, especially given it's the final weekend!
4) At the moment, there are a total of only 20 tickets available. Might be more, but didn't want to overstock, again, based on the short notice. First come, first served...
Click the button below to buy. Hopefully, we'll have easily clinched the title by that point, and we can enjoy a nice, relaxing game where the result really doesn't matter much!

Details to be announced, but we’re thinking maybe the Hard Rock? Open to suggestions.

I know Seamus will have a hard time handling 20
maybe if we call ahead?

Sam's Cafe at the Arizona Center?
They open at 11am. And the cafe gives a voucher for a few bucks off the parking lot, which makes it a bit more affordable.
The food is better than “meh.” Not necessarily “oh wow oh wow” but good.
Just remembered
It’s an afternoon game with a 1:10pm start, so I’m not sure if people would be leaning more toward a post-game get-together, or brunch!

My opinion doesn't count
since I’m not going, but it would make more sense to me if you all went for a post-game celebration. This way, you won’t have to be over there at very early hours, and, if that is the game that decides the division, and heaven forbid, a certain team doesn’t make it, there will be pleanty of adult beverages to sooth the pain

I'm down for a post game meetup
Pre-game would still be fun too. Make it into a lunch.

I'd be down with post game!
I don’t think I’ll be able to sit through the game, but I would love to meet up and hang out with people.

Don't think I can make this one
But I’ll be there in spirit.
By the way, what was the name of the guy who hit the go-ahead homer at the last SPF? I feel like it was chanted a bunch, but I don’t remember.

I can't ask for any more time off this month.
I mean, I could. But only if I wanted my boss to go ballistic on me. Hopefully there’ll be tickets left by the time I know for sure.
I should have a mfin theme song.

As far as places to go....
is that Jefferson’s bar open again?

Jackson’s on Third closed down several years ago, reopened, but to lackluster reviews. I’ll try and check it out one of these days. I used to love going there pre-game, but haven’t been since they shut down.
Other ideas:
Majerles - just a short walk north & west, they may even let us meet in their “9-lounge”
Rose & Crown – 628 E. Adams – nice patios and it should be cooler by then, they validate parking
Copper Blues – upstairs at CityScape, 3 hrs free parking then $2/hour with $12 max
The Turf – on 1st Street just north of Roosevelt. really like this place, its a bit far from Chase, but free parking & take the light rail 2 stops to the game
Baseball Weirdo
Jackson's******
Thanks for the correction.
Define “lackluster review”
I think Rose & Crown would be the coolest and I’m certain Jim would like it

I like Rose & Crown but I think it's too small for us.
Unless the weather is comfortable enough to sit outside and even then it may be too crowded.
Hard Rock is okay with me...

Ugh!
Another one I won’t be able to make. Mom had the indecency to be born that day, so I’ll be busy celebrating her birthday.
I am joking
One of these days, Upton is going to pay a visit to the mound... And it ain't going to be pretty
See
My mom was at least considerate enough to be born early enough in the month that it won’t interfere with the late season games.

It's just common sense!
I mean, why else would they put Labor Day towards the start of the month?

Thanks.

Actually,
I was born at the beginning of football season at Notre Dame, so all of my relatives could come down on Saturday to coo and goo at baby me, then walk over to the stadium to the game. Good planning.
And coincidentally, I WAS born on Labor Day. My mother thought it was funny, later on.

I think soco might go
But my big bum is a little unsure it will make it. But I’ll try and make it to the pregame! (Just try to keep me from food. ;))

Sunday is my only day off. I’ll have to see if my paycheck from my second job finally comes through.

I'll be there with Misty and Farsha
If you'd have been a dog.....
They would of drowned you at birth.
I vote for Rose & Crown for pregame
Thanks AZDBACKR for suggesting it
"I could have been king, but in my own way I am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
Rose and Crown is fine for me
I can vouch for the good food and drink. Watched the US World Cup Games there. Pre and or post-game is fine, not sure I can necessarily manage both! [Not as young as I used to be….]
Daron "...the D. Baxter fan-club"
Mark: "A non-profit organization."
Want me to give them a ring?
How many confirmed do we have so far?
"I could have been king, but in my own way I am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
At the moment
A dozen? There was a glitch with the button – I forgot to change the PayPal address, so the money went in with all our bead order payments. Wondered why no-one was buying… I had to filter through the past weeks manually, looking for amounts that were a multiple of $16, but I think, to date we have:
NASCARbernet x 2
Dbacksskins x 2
4CornersFan x 2
EdBiggHead x 3
Turambar x 1
Me and Mrs. S x 2
If anyone paid and is not listed, let me know…

Alright, so how many people are we shooting for here?
"I could have been king, but in my own way I am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
Will let you know a final number after the weekend
When I confirm the sale with the D-backs. A week should be plenty of time, I imagine.

Roger that
Then I’ll contact Rose n Crown

If it's after the game I'm in as well!
Can’t not see my Snake Pitters. It would make me saaad.
Working on a Player to Be Named... (babysoco! 11/24/11)
Sounds like a very good reason to make it after!
Of course, timing will be a bit uncertain, but if it’s Kennedy and Lincecum, I’m thinking the game will last about an hour twenty, hour thirty tops. :)

We could go before and after.......
"I could have been king, but in my own way I am king. Hail to the king baby." Ash from Army of Darkness
We are free to go before and/or after
But, if we had to pick one, we would prefer Post-Game
Just thinking about all the beer that will may be consumed… good thing we take the light rail.
Baseball Weirdo
if we do pre-game
‘skins and I will probably show up just in time to get our tickets … we sort of take forever to get out of the house, and it’s a long drive for us.
I don't let facts get in the way of my opinion.
Hahaha "we" take forever.
How diplomatic of you.

After those games with the Dodgers
I’m sure everything will seem like a quick outing…
"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case always ignore a coincidence."
So im assuming those under 21 aren't welcome at the pre or post-game meet up?

No problem for me, if the venue has no problem
Not sure about the R&C, but since they serve food, probably ok, I guess?

R&C should not be a problem at all
It’s a pretty mellow place

We hit the Rose & Crown yesterday afternoon
after watching Sunday’s game. The porch and picnic tables in front were empty and there were barely 20 people inside playing pool or watching sports on TV.
It was cool enough to hang out in the shade/misters in front. The only hang up I could see having a post-game get together there next Sunday would be if there was a huge football crowd… So hopefully no big football games next Sunday late afternoon.
Baseball Weirdo
Very cool
I agree with the spirit that we should schedule these things to be all inclusive, family friendly.

At least ’Skins already has a shirt for it.
"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case always ignore a coincidence."
yes
But I will be subjected to unimaginable amounts of torture … I might as well cheer for the Giants.
I don't let facts get in the way of my opinion.
Not even funny.
"Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case always ignore a coincidence."
Its a baseball promotion though
optional for the franchises, and it’s for charity, so I’m okay with it.

Already had my own tickets to the game
But I’ll try to drop by pregame/postgame for a bit
Jim are you
going to chill outside Sliders and dish out tix ?
If you'd have been a dog.....
They would of drowned you at birth.
I'm going to the game with some friends
We’ll be in the nosebleed seats. Trying to save some money for hockey season. And potentially DBacks playoff tickets. But, I could maybe drop by any pre-game/post-game get togethers. Just let me know.
