Come for the baseball, stay for the ... wrestling?
Came out to the Riverhawks game today - knew it was gonna get heavily delayed at least, but decided to go anyway. Didn't get a baseball game, but did have one of the funnest afternoons I've had in a lo g time!
Loads of people were there despite the rain, and they put up the World Cup game on the big screen while waiting for the weather to clear. Today's game theme was wrestling, and they had the wrestlers roaming the stands, talking smack, starting "fights", and generally keeping the vibes up. The game got called off at around 3, at which point they announced that they were going to bring out the ring and have some wrestling anyway! After the football ended on the big screen (Go Canada!), everyone got to pile on the field and watch these guys hammer each other!
Honestly, this afternoon just confirms to me how awesome an org the Riverhawks are. They could have easily just let folks huddle in the concourse then send everyone home, but instead they had a bunch of entertainment going during the rain delay and made sure everyone got to see some wrestling despite the game being cancelled. Obviously the rain sucks and I'd have loved for the game to go ahead, but this was so so awesome as a substitute!
