So many problems with this post.
1. It shows the pathetic biz community here that the best giveaway we could put forth was some dumb "water resort" in a hotel.
2. It's not even a give-away. It's a coupon. You have to physically do something to get the prize, unlike typical give-aways. Making it very lame.
3. It's beyond absurd that even a tiny sliver of Cards fans from around the state are coming back to KC anytime soon, now that the series is over. They're not. How many times do you go to STL? And just for a freakin lame-ass hotel water park, no less.....nope.
Your unwillingness to accept even the most sound argument is better-suited to Big XII bickering.
1. Who ever said this was the best offer we had? This goes to your standard "KC is a cowtown and should be embarassed by X" argument you put in EVERY thread. A local business with a logical tie-in to car travelers approaches the Royals for a promotion to help their business. This isn't that hard to understand. I thought you had some sort of business background?
2. It's a promotion. There are no rules saying it has to be a giveaway. It was Bob Evans family pack day and kids run. It's really not hard to make the connection between kids events and a water park.
3. It's even more ridiculous for you to assume that everyone wearing red in the stands was from St. Louis. Or, that everyone wearing blue was from KC. There are plenty of people that drove in from less than two hours away for this series. These are most certainly candidates for people who make multiple trips to KC in a given year.
I don't even understand what point you are trying to make. Is the F5 button on your computer automatically programmed to make a post that contradicts whatever was posted before?
If it doesn't have street-level retail, it's an abortion.
