Summary

We’ve been nominated in two categories for the Sports Podcast Awards! Best Baseball Podcast - Best Sports Business Podcast! You can vote for us here: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-category/ Today’s word of the day is ‘mailbag’ as in Christmas as in Kwanza as in New Years as in it’s holiday mailbag time because NPDS is out of the country. But, the show goes on! How are giveaways done? Who makes up the schedule? Why are certain items given away on a day? Who plans it? (15:03) What is a new stadium survey? Do they even matter? Do teams just send them out for funsies? (29:40) A lifelong Clevelander asked about stadium renovations. The Guardians are removing the upper deck seats and adding partytime playhouses. Does this mean teams now are under the impression that smaller is better? (37:05) Who are the top 5 athletes I’d want to take on a weekend vacation… interesting. (44:00) Walking about the stadium and Guaranteed Rate Field doesn’t allow you to walk around the lower concourse. Why is that? They have more food options and I want to explore the stadium.
