I’m under the weather — still testing negative for now but we’ll see, mask up out there, people — so posting may be a bit light this week as I recover. But fortunately last week I was fine, which meant I was able to finalize the design and ordering of the latest set of Field of Schemes refrigerator magnets, with all-new facts about your favorite stadium and arena deals:
For those of you who don’t want to have to squint, yes, there are six different options this time (I couldn’t pick just four), and they are all to mark the 25th anniversary of this website. (I almost typed “to celebrate,” but honestly I was kind of hoping we’d all be done by now.) As always, there are two different ways to get these winging their way to you:
- Click here to become a monthly Patreon subscriber at the $5/month or $10/month level, and receive all six magnets immediately! (Current Patreon subscribers will receive the whole magnet set automatically as soon as they arrive.)
- Click the pulldown menu below to send in a one-time donation and get two magnets, hand-selected to be whichever ones I grab out of the box first!
I have followed this issue since the late eighties when I got involved with the Tiger Stadium Fan Club and I’ve heard all sorts of really stupid excuses for spending public money to make very wealthy people even wealthier.
But I have to say, the one about how a billion dollars of public money for a new football stadium (used about a dozen times a year) would be a boon to senior citizens because people would go to the games and not do their marketing Sunday afternoons…this was the stupidest.
They’ve already got a football stadium but really, trying to analyze this mishegoss logically is just not worth it.
Looking forward to the magnets for my new fridge!
Please tell me you had to get a new fridge because the old one was already full of magnets?
If you owned this site and also a company that remodels kitchens specifically to accommodate multiple fridges based solely on their “display value” I believe you would be creating the kind of vertical integration that sports franchise cartel members could only dream about…
But be sure and lobby your elected officials for a subsidy.
Because you’d be doing a service to your community.
Now the seniors that shop during game day will have lots of places to store their produce.
