The Metropolitan Opera, here in New York, has been broadcasting some of its live performances to movie theatres around the country. Live, HD, good sound- and it's been a sucess.
August 29, the New York Mets/Philadelphia Phillie game will be shown on the screen of the Ziegfeld Theatre in mid-town Manhattan. $10. 1,100 seats. During the game, trivia games, commentary by local sports guys, and (my fave) t-shirt launches. Oh, and everyone in attendance gets two tickets to a September game.
As I compare these, I wonder if the Met Opera could garner some new fans by having t-shirt launches at Avery Fisher Hall. During intermissions, of course.
It worked for the Met, why not the Mets?

I don't know. If they palyed the 1812 Oveture, they could shoot the t-shirts during every "cannon" shot.nitrah55 wrote:The Metropolitan Opera, here in New York, has been broadcasting some of its live performances to movie theatres around the country. Live, HD, good sound- and it's been a sucess.

Heck--they could shoot the PLAYERS sometimes, and no one would object...rayxtwo wrote:I don't know.

Is your hubby a Mets fan also? Or is this just your affliction?Mini the Ignorant Slut wrote:Heck--they could shoot the PLAYERS sometimes, and no one would object...rayxtwo wrote:I don't know.

My husband was born in Flushing and raised on Long Island. It was fate we met. Or the fact that the Triple A club was in my neck of the woods...ulysses5019 wrote:Is your hubby a Mets fan also?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that event at the Ziegfeld was last year - this year they play Florida on Aug. 29th and I haven't heard anything about another outing at that theater.nitrah55 wrote:The Metropolitan Opera, here in New York, has been broadcasting some of its live performances to movie theatres around the country.
