They have a lot more ridiculous promotions. Trust me. This one was both clever, effective, and put about 400-500 butts into seats that wouldn't have been there otherwise.
They'd actually love it if more females attend games. Plenty do already, but it can't hurt to have more female-oriented promotions; let's face it, SNP night was the night before "workout t-shirt night".
And actually, I was there for Country Music Night last year, which was really a ton more disturbing -- they photoshopped all the players into wearing cowboy hats, played country music all night, had a bunch of country music promoters around, etc.. you couldn't escape! With SNP, it was isolated to the upper left field seats; I'm pretty sure half the stadium wasn't even aware of what was going on per se. It's not like they forced everyone in the stadium to come knit with them, and it's not like you would have even seen any more knitters than usual if you weren't sitting up in our sections.
Oh, and don't get me started on Bark in the Park night from the Wednesday game at the Everett Aquasox I went to. I mean, cmon, you didn't comment "THIS IS A BASEBALL GAME, GIVE ME A BREAK" to that -- but seriously, they had 1722 people and 348 dogs attend it. I continually had my view blocked by people who walked by because they had to go walk their dogs every 10 minutes.
It happens. When your team is losing, and not selling out games, sometimes they have to stretch for promotions. I think the Texas Rangers had a "hot pants" night in 1974 or so where they'd give free admission to women wearing Daisy Dukes, and I think there was cheap beer that night too. I can only imagine how horrendous that must have turned out...
