Let’s make “Throwback Night” a Reality at Dodger Stadium!

The good folks at the Sons of Steve Garvey blog reminded me of an interesting question that came up last week at Blogger Night (I think Saxie from SoSG and Erin from Beantown West were the instigators on this one): what about having a “Throwback Night” at Dodger Stadium?

I seriously think this is a fantastic idea, and am thinking about trying to rally the Dodger fans online to make it a reality.  I know the Club worries about the marketability of such an idea to the youth of today, but come on, how cool would this be?  Make it a mid-week game in the middle of summer.  If we can come up with enough details, it could be really marketable.

Think about it:

- All organ music, all the time (Go Nancy Bea Hedley!).  No recorded music allowed.

 - All Vin, all the time (sorry, Charlie and Rick, it’s Throwback Night for God sakes). 

- All digital signs would be turned off.  Sponsors would be acknowledged by the PA announcer or other means to fulfill advertising commitments.

-  No credit cards at the concessions stands (just kidding on this one!).

- Retro uniforms to be worn by the players and coaches.

- Fans would be encouraged to dress up, like in the old days (suits, etc.)

- Some cool old school giveaway for fans, like a felt Dodgers cap or a branded transistor radio.

- A classic Dodgers nemesis, like The Hated Ones.

What else could we do?  Let’s hear your ideas people and start to make this a reality!  Who’s with me???
