INSIDE SPORTS: Complete coverage of the IronPigs in Florida C1 ...

IT"S ABOUT TIME,,,,,,,,
GO PIGS !
This is an awesome event for the Valley,,,of coarse " couch potatoes will find something negative to say. It is a event to celebrate, not ridicule.....But toothless Pennsylvania Dutch , Trailer Park haters will complain...see below
I .......down below....see

Well I find it ridiculous that you cannot bring your own food and drink into the game. You can do it at Yankee Stadium and other ballparks. I wonder who is daring enough to file a lawsuit. Getting Greedy already. Don't get me wrong, I believe the prices will not be overinflated but I should still be able to bring in food items that I prefer to eat.

I am not a couch potato either. I am a season ticket holder...

No Doubt Councilman "Big Mike" Damore will be on hand to press the flesh. Always see this guy at events but he hardly ever returns calls to the party faithful. However, I will enjoy the game.

Too bad the name still stinks.

Get over it. The team is catching on like crazy with everyone except for those so small minded that they can't get past a silly name.

These owners have a history of success and they know exactly what they're doing, including the team name. The name has done far more good than harm; same with the mascot name "misstep".

In spite of the naysayers.....this team is going to make it.....Can anyone explain why AAA does not get all of the good talent like Carrasco and jaramillio...whay will they go to Reading?

I thought it was natural progression up from A to AA to AAA to the show?

Why will Rendell be there and stink up the place?

It is ridiculous, especially when the concession menu have very limited food choices. I'm sure plenty of people will be smuggling in their own food and drink anyway - they can't waste their time searching every corner of every bag.

Im pretty sure Jaramillo will be in AAA. Nowadays some players from AA make the jump to the majors if the team feels they are good enough.

This is not a rule of the Iron Pigs, but rather the International League in which they play. You cant take things in up in Scranton or at any stadium in the league they play in.

If a person is diabetic or has another affliction Im sure exceptions will be made. Otherwise, people should stop complaining. There's too many cheapskates around here. Everybody wants something for nothing.

I am looking forward to the day when the fans start calling the stadium the"Pig Pen", later just shortening it to "The Pen".
"Going to see the Pigs at the Pen."
Great stuff!!

That is weird so I can do it at a Phillies Game and a Yankees Game but not a AAA game? I usually bring a splendid Wegman's hoagie with me. It is better then anything that is served at the stadiums... Not to even mention the overpriced concessions at the games althought the oinker's front office say the concessions will be adequately priced..

Anyone know if tailgating is allowed in the lots? I can't wait to make sasuage sandwhiches out in the parking lot!

What are they patting people down?

Well if they follow a trend like other stadiums they are beginning to disallow charcoal grills...
