Major League Baseball at Bonnaroo?! I saw the MLB setup last year and was confused why it was there. I hope for '08, Superfly uses the money they would have spent on MLB licensing rights and spend it on circus monkeys or something more entertaining than anything sports related. Hell, I think a petting zoo would be kinda cool but I would fear for the sheep if they had any. My .02

superfly doesnt spend any money on MLB. MLB is a sponser, and like all bonnaroo sponsers superfly requires them to provide free activities for the people at the fest. like the VW garage last year, or the dolby digital cinema tent ect.....

You literally took the words right out of my mouth. I was just going to say the same exact thing. This is a way for MLB to promote themselves and people seem to like it or they wouldn't be bring it back. I like the MLB video game setup where you can sit in some shade and zone out for a few.

Beside the fact that it doesn't cost them any money, to each his own my man. Too many people see some massive separation between sports and music. I'll hate on some "jockhead f*ck" just as quick as anyone, but not everyone with that label even plays sports. I played ball straight through High School, and still had the same taste and love for music. It's one of the few things that I would do over and just ride that sh*t through a paid college education.
If I remember correctly they played a few World Cup games in the cinema tent last year. I'm sure there's tons of sports fans at Bonnaroo.
I did however have a few concerns about last years setup. I refrained from getting clocked on the radar gun for 2 reasons. 1) Trying to hit 80 on a gun without warming up can really f*ck your arm up. Even if theres no permanent damage your arm will be hanging for a day or two. 2) It was in the middle of centeroo with a tiny net. I was never a pitcher. Despite having a hell of an arm my control never came around enough. It seemed like a major safety hazard.
I feel compelled to post this here. Its about a pitcher named Doc Ellis who threw a No-Hitter while under the influence of lsd. It's a true story, and always cracks me up. www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/ellis.asp "I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the [catcher's] glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me." -Doc Ellis

i was at the usa world cup last year before i went to moe. at the sonic stage. that was awesome. really had a world cup atmosphere. also i made the bonnaroo website pictures being there. i also remember in 05 watching a couple mins of the spurs-pistons game. it was packed and felt like you were at the game.

I like sports, I'm athletic (somewhat), but I don't drop 200 dollars and drive to Tennesse to get into a batting cage. I don't think the mlb thing is bad, but there are like fifty other things I will do before I even consider that.
