    If you buy on their website, the all inclusive is $76 for adults and $38 for kids. No idea how that compares to dizney, but my son still remembers our Xel-Ha visit from 2005. It was worth it for us, and I can't really think of a comparable experience for families in that area.

    That's not much more than Fiesta Texas, & when they throw in all that food, it's a pretty good deal. We did it several years ago when or boys were only 3 and 5. They're 12 & 14 now & still remember it.

    Changing something to appeal to people who are not fans and taking for granted the support of the people who are is a dangerous game. It is likely to simply alienate your current fanbase and attract zero attention from people who are not. I see many industries kill themselves that way.

    Baseball at every level is less popular than it once was, there is little MLB can do about that short of some sort of general pro-baseball charm offensive. This is not about some scheduling or lack of gimmicks deal.

     

    Precisely. We see this shit - this pursuit of the casual fan for the benefit of the TV networks - ruining sport after sport after sport. 

     

    Fuck the casual fan.

    Pathetic pitching performances from start to finish tonight. 

    Indeed. Matched only by our ridiculous hitting tactics in the first 6-7 innings with an incredibly small zone.

    I feel like I also started this thread but I’m happy to jump in here. Think ABW might not have the scrilla to pull off kit sponsorship.

    I’m thinking Samsung, Dell, 3M? Who else has a big presence here and a national footprint that would benefit from MLS?

    AMD, 3M, IBM, Apple ...

    Earl is the reason I was a longhorn fan as a kid

    Yeah we moved here from Tennessee in '77. I was in 6th grade. Watching Earl wreck mfers that season turned my blood burnt orange for life.

    Favorite Longhorn. Met him once. 

    Later I was waiting tables at Jazz on 6th. Earl's sausage company office was upstairs. Earl would come in after our lunch rush and sit at the bar to eat lunch. Nobody in the place but Earl & all of us who worked there. He would chat us up all the time & was easily the most laid-back, chill pro athlete I've ever met & as nice a guy as you could ever hope to meet.
