A Day at the Ballpark?

Do you remember the movie Bull Durham? Great movie. It was based on the real minor league team the Durham Bulls. In fact the ballpark scenes were shot in the actual stadium. When I lived in North Carolina I saw quite a few games at that stadium until the team moved up to AAA from single-A and built a brand new ballpark. The new ballpark managed to hold onto enough intimacy and charm of the old one (they moved the giant Hit-The-Bull-WIn-A-Steak sign to the edge of the new outfield) so I went to even more games there.

Now my friend Paul back in NC has found out that at the end of the 2007 season, you can rent out the entire stadium including an all you can eat buffet, access to the field, dugouts, sumo wrestling suits and an appearance by the team mascot Wool-e Bull! We're trying to raise $50 from 50 people to go for it, I think we can make it happen!
