that would be Coca Cola Park in Allentown, PA. Home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs - note: the word IronPigs is ALL ONE WORD, no space... Air Products - a Founding Partner of the IronPigs, contributing $250k per year for 5 years. Foolish? Not according to the customers, employees, and community who enjoy this stadium for 72 games each season. The ballpark holds about 10,000 and they average almost 9,000 people every game. A big success!
Excuse me... Why would any company named "Air Products" agree to donate $250,000.00 per year for 5 years and allow it to be called Coca Cola Park?? Sounds like we need a shake-up at AP. Let some heads roll. Bad decision. Could this be the result of the relationship between Dave Montgomery and a certain A'town resident??
Coke paid a lot more money than that to name the place. It was a funny conversation when we convinced my boss, a Brit, that associating with a AAA baseball team would be a good move. He had never seen a baseball game, at the time. In fact, when we picked the suite he wanted to pick a spot that had a view of Lehigh Valley airport. He couldn't understand why we wanted to be behind home plate.
who is the Allentown resident that Gay alludes to that Montgomery knows? Coke put up a $Millions per year and the Allentown Folk are buying Pepsi! Meanwhile, any product I buy that has to do with AIR I buy from AIR PRODUCTS! Although I do buy a lot of Diet Coke, I must admit...
Comment on anything you want to comment on....
How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...

i was curious as to what "Ferrous" meant...I found out it means "IRON", we have some really Smart vocabulary people commentating...
did you really mean "Professor"? or is it "Professor" or just "Prof"
BIG DEAL ! We have a no A team in Lancaster and they're called the Barnstormers because, because, because they are that's why.
We were gonna name them the Amish Who Smell Funny but it doesn't fit on a jersey too well. So there!
