Kevin, glad you mentioned the Minor League Base Ball Game.
We have the T-Bones in Kansas City Ks. I did a thing last year and was a big hit. Not expensive like the Majors.
One of the other Alums picked it up from last year when I did it and had a great turnout.
This can be a Major thing, Costs. Some new Alums feel like they cannot afford a lot, but the idea is to make it available so that as many can come and not feel stopped by money.
We had a lot of Alums still living in the School area who did tail gating at each game and not with the rest of the Alums. I have worked to try to coordinate it so All Alums can and Will be there for Home Comings in the future for a closeness.
The PITT (PSU, Ks) have played for the last 3 Years at Arrowhead Stadium, (Chiefs) and We do a Tailgate and try to tie it in as I started last time for The Food Drive.

I had a trunk full for sure + checks.
Had our Golf Tourney again this year and had a great turnout, not for the golf, but just communing with Brothers and Nature. Some Great Prizes were donated and the director did a fantastic job.
Kevin, great ideas, and Give B B My Very Best!
