He will not replace the big green chicken because everyone loves him. The new mascot will be warm and cuddly with one gold tooth. He looks like a Pirate. One will work the one dugout and the other will work the other. Fans will love him. |
I think this shows how much excitement people have for this team and these players. |
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor a Steelers' pep rally (Friday), could keep the fans away from this. That shows the Pirates fans' allegiance is strong. This weekend is a testament to the loyalty of the fans of this city. |
Normally, this is an event for people to gather information and start thinking about buying ticket packages, but we're selling the heck out of them. I think this shows how much excitement people have for this team and these players. |
Regardless of how things are going, it's prudent for us to see what the market will bear. We've had a couple of calls to say other parties are interested in our rights. |
We are looking at every piece of our business and saying how are we going to improve the impact that we make, to move this organization forward? |
We can't wait for the 2006 Pirates baseball season to get started! Sales have been extremely strong this off-season. We've sold 10,000 season tickets to date and more and more fans continue to purchase each day. |
We want to make coming to the ballpark a fun time for everyone, and we don't just want to live off the All-Star game. We want to give people many reasons to come to PNC Park. We have a great product to offer. |
We're selling the heck out of [the season-ticket plans], which is terrific. It tells you a lot about what these people think about the team. |
We've listened to the fans. They want more seating, food additions. All of it is meant to enhance the fans' experience. |
