Mariano Bobble Head Disaster

As most of you know last Thursday 9/30 was Mariano Bobble Head Night. What a joke that was.

First of all my boyfriend surprised me with the tickets because he knows I'm a big Yankee fan. It was a really sweet surprised. I usually hate surprises, but he did really good with this one. With him being a big Mets fan he did a really good thing by getting these tickets.

So after work that day I ran out so I could get to the game on time. I didn't even hear about the voucher's for the bobble heads. I wasn't concern with checking Facebook or Twitter. So since I work in the Wall Street area I took the 1 to the D because the 4 train always gets messed up whenever I take it going to a game. The 1 train got me to the D in no time. So when I got to the D everything was going fine and I thought wow for once I'm going to make the game on time. Boy was I wrong. When we got to 145th street the conductor said "Next time 161st street Yankee Stadium". Why is it that when we got to Yankee Stadium the stop was skipped and we went to the next express stop. How do you skip a stop? Obviously someone wasn't paying attention to their job. So instead of getting to the game on time I got there by 7:20PM thanks to the MTA.

Once I met my boyfriend he told me how crazy everything was and that there were no bobble heads, but he got a voucher for them. So I was like okay can't be that bad later on. So we got our food and ate then we went to our seats. At the game we got Nathan's and of course we got an order of their cheese fries. I swear their cheese fries are the best!!! Once we got to our seats about twenty minutes afterwards my boyfriend saw someone with a bobble head. Turns out they had just arrived so my boyfriend said he rather get them now instead of after the game. That was at the bottom of the 3rd inning. He didn't get back till the top of the 7th inning and that was about an hour and a half. H e was beyond pissed off. He said no one knew what they were doing and everything was disorganized. I was so happy that I didn't decided to go get them with him because I was tired and had a long day. I wouldn't have been a happy camper if I was on that line.

My boyfriend vowed to never come back to Yankee Stadium and I couldn't blame him. The marketing team should've implemented a better system. I've never seen or heard this kind of choas happen at any other stadium. I guess there's a first time for everything, but it sucks we had to experience it. Instead of having a nice date night, we weren't even with each other for most of our date.

I'm glad to hear that people who waited for those bobble heads will be getting free tickets to a game next year. If the fans weren't going to get anything back that would've been more messed up. Hopefully something like this doesn't happen again on any promotional night.
