I understand the Vipers likely want to cash in, but this is a pretty irresponsible promotion if you ask me. it's essentually
A permit for the 5% of the Roughrider fans that cause all the trouble here to get absolutely blitzkreig's before the game. If I was the City of Calgary i'd be stepping in here. There's a reason the pre-game Rider party at Foothills was eliminated before, and I doubt i't because of poor attendance.

"The Calgary Vipers Baseball Club, in cooperation with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is proud to present a dual sport day at Foothills Stadium, Saturday, July 24 beginning at 1:35 pm.

As a tribute to the thousands of former Saskatchewan residents now calling Calgary home, the Vipers are making their game vs. the Edmonton Capitals into Rider Day at the Park.

“Saskatchewan Shines! Rider Day at the Park” will feature a live concert immediately following the baseball game and the first pitch is being thrown out by Jim Hopson, President/CEO of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. There will be Rider prize giveaways between innings and a special salute to the Green and White during the 7th inning stretch.

Fans must purchase a ticket to the baseball game and be in the stadium prior to the end of the 8th inning in order to remain within the facility for the concert event to follow.

The post-baseball game event will begin immediately following the game’s conclusion and will run until 7:00 pm. The Riders will be selling the 2nd Series limited edition Centennial Share on-site during both the baseball game and the concert event. "
