2nd HINT

Think about what happens AFTER you first get into the stadium but BEFORE the game starts.

There is something that happens in between there at virtually all ball games that is pissing the most fans off.

the singing

the first hit by a celeb

Ushers..

explaining the game to your wife or whatnot.
bad seats.
The national athem and having to stand up again.

trying to find your seats

the distance to walk to the seats.
turnstiles

Public Service Announcements

oh fuck, I think I have it. Security checks.

relizing every time you spill a teaspoon of beer it cost you a buck. :winkwink:

3rd and hopefully final HINT


In between the time that you arrive at the ballpark and the time the game actually starts, something occurs at virtually all games. IT IS THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THIS TAKES UP that is pissing off 59% of the fans.

What is it?

Edit: someone guessed "singing".... that was close.

At this time, we direct your attention to ...

introducing the players.

Rechalking baselines, replacing bases, grounds crew

being seated

the national anthem

preparing the field for play

length of National Anthem

The pitcher warming up on the mound.

Think "entertainment"


Have any of you been to a ball game lately?? :D

The time it takes to convince your wife that nobody is watching and that if she just takes her panties off and sits on your lap, nobody is going to know that you are fucking her.

the stupid shit with the mascot

advertisements on the jumbo screen

last time i went to a ball game I was like 8 years old.

the stupid mascots?
Damn I give up.

The "funny" video segments from games with the goofy music

The awards they give to the local teachers/law enforcement/underpriveleged kids.

batting practice?

I'm going to say "Close enough" on this one.

The exact answer as worded is length of the pre-game festivities/entertainment.



who-wa!



WE HAVE A WINNAAAHHH!!


Shoot me an ICQ to 31024634 for the prize. :D

Some of these are actually tough :D

Goddamit... if I'd only put "the stupid shit with" in front of my "mascots" post from the first page.

hahahaha

okay game over. congrats to JMM :)

lol..... yeah, JMM also had other guesses that were hitting all around the mark.... but "Mascots" was sort of close, but was a bit vague.

This was a toughie on the radio too (it aired a few weeks ago)... it took many many callers before the answer was gotten.

Congrats to JMM, the TOUGH TRIVIA will be back tomorrow morning :D

I also very much liked this answer. :D
