Has the Dbacks play this year made you more likely to attend?

Absolutely. Money is a little tight right now, but I will find a way to attend a game or two by the time the season is done. Have to support the hometown team!

Been to 6 games already this year and will most likely attend at least 6 more.
But, I would definitely say that my fandom has increased as this season has gone along! This team is a ton of fun to root for!! :thumbup:

For me, yes - already been to twice as many games this year as all of last.

I bought second half season tickets before the all star break. They are a very fun team to watch on TV, even more so at the ball park.

Of course. I'm driving 5 hours fromBoston to Philly on Aug 18th to go to the game even though I have only the 18th and 19th off.

I have definitely been to more games this summer as opposed to last summer when I only went to two.

I am thinking about asking some friends if they want to split season tickets next year.

I even experienced the All You Can Eat section.

The food was eh! The selection was eh! But the quantity was OK.

I even considered going back for a 4th and 5th hot dog . . . but wisely decided against it.

Yes. I plan on going to watch them beat the Dodgers this Saturday, and stick it to those annoying Dodger fans.

Still waiting for them to spend.

Spending does not mean they would be more competitive.

The team's payroll is based on revenue. They need more people to go to games in order to spend more.

They have put a competitive, fun team on the field. Now do your part, go to the games, increase revenue, and they can spend more.

Great excuse for going cheap. Feel free to take first step and spend money on a power hitting first baseman, for example.

Spend first, then I will show up if team is good. (in principle of course since I don't live in AZ) :)

And I hope the fans show up. And I hope the Dbacks spend money to increase talent on roster!

We've been to several games this year. We go every year whether they're winning or losing.

How's this for motivation? I have 2 seats for tonight's game that I cannot use. Will give away (i.e. FREE) to a regular on this board, but you need to pick them up. Live out in the Queen Creek area - PM if interested.

Section 135, Row 15, Seats 1 & 2. Face value of tickets - 39.00 each.

D'backs buddies

You might get a kick out of this photo taken yesterday of The D'backs Buddies by my daughter-in-law.

My grandson and I are separated by seventy-years-less-five-days.

I wonder how many hot dogs he could scarf down in the All You Can Eat section. I guess at six months he is a little too young to take to a game.

... ... ... 'Sorry guys. I guess the file was too large for ASFN to upload into the post. We were both wearing D'backs jerseys.
