College Day at Arlington
 

I am trying to get more College aged people to the track so I am planning College Day at Arlington next Friday. Free admission will be for college students only but the food and drink specials will be for everyone.

I know there is a lot of people on this message board from the Chicago area so if you can let anyone you know that is a College student about the promotion that would be great....I hope that this takes off so that Arlington can do it again soon!


Arlington Park invites you to our first ever College Day! College Day will be held Friday, July 20th at the Arlington Park Racecourse in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Come out and show school pride while wearing your favorite College or University apparel!

Invite all your friends for a great day at the track to appreciate YOU- the hardworking College Student!

would DerbyTrail be considered a college of sorts??

keeneland does a thing where college students can win schlorships.. maybe if it the turn out is big.. and you continue, you can incorporate this somehow.

I guess I'm getting old because I have no idea what this is. Is it like a bizzaro bikini contest where the winners are the ones most needing a bag over their heads?

Illi people call soda--- pop as well?

thought it was only a southern thang.

Also, i have never heard of an establishment selling jello shots, especially not a race track... i must be getting old, ahhhh college

-bt-

I dont think its a southern thang to call pop. Down here everything is "Get me a Coke", no matter what you drink.

It is the new craze around here and at college, you get hammered while throwing these 'bags' in a hole. think bozo buckets with beer and only one hole

Soda here in Florida.

Pop in West Michigan where I grew up.

Jello shots at the track.....yikes!!!

Only at Arlington, and Haber in charge......

awesome idea question is who is going to pick up Downes?

Chuck 'bags' is similar to 'washers' horse shoes but you're throwing bean backs at a box with a hole cut in it.

Tim this is really going to happen? Remember you talking about it a couple weeks back.

Haber is the man then. Can't imagine slipping that one past upper management.

Mr. D: "Haber!!! What's this jello shot thing on your list?"
Haber: "Mr. D, jello shots is just an offshoot from bags, one of those games that college kids do".
Mr. D: "Oh alright, sounds like fun, I'll sign off on this thing just this once. I'm keeping my eye on you Haber".


I'm jealous I won't be there.

i see a lot of people playing it pre-game for Redskins games. It's like a small skate/launch ramp with a hole in it and the bean bags you used to play with in montessori school


and whats wrong with "hey can i get a soda?" I went to school in WV and i would get into some long debates on the whole soda/pop thing

-bt-

sounds like 'cornhole'?!

It's called "cornhole" in Kentucky, walk around the Kee parking lot during the meet and you'll see a million people playing it.


College Day is a great idea, by the way- cheap booze is a way to a student's heart :D

like George Constanza going in to Steinbrenners office with an idea.

yeah i don't think even Haber would be able to get approval for any game called "cornhole" at AP.

Great idea, lets get the whole place drunk like pigs, and start a rumble too:)

Yupp, I live in West Michigan and it is pop around here.

I would win that bag tourney if I could get there. maybe another sick day, they giving a $200 voucher for 1st?

You mean there's another word for pop?

I had never heard anybody use "pop" instead of soda until I met Hooves. Sounds a little fruity to me.

Haber,

I hope you get ti to work, and I think you're on the right track by offering discounted prices on everything. Canterbury has "buck night" on Thursday, where everything except beer (beer is still discounted) is only $1. Admission, hot dogs, pop, programs, etc. It realy attracts a "young" crowd on that night. Sittin out in the grandstand for eye-candy alone is almost worth it lol. So yeah, I think you're going in the right direction for the way to get students here, but YOU STILL NEED PROMOTION!!!!

Drunk college kids = TONS OF DEAD $$$ in the wagering pools.



sounds good to me



also...I am as southern as they come...and I have never used the word "pop" in my life to describe coke.

It is f'n POP!!

For you, maybe. In VA it is called coke.

So f'n Sprite is called coke?

Nooooooooo...its called Sprite

:mad: Nobody in the south drinks f'n Sprite...

They are missing out, it is BOMB

you really need help...

"they say the ingredients to Sprite is lemons and limes, I tried to make some at home, there is more to it then that. "want some more homemade sprite" "Not till you find out what the f--k else is in it!" - Mitch Hedberg

I can see Scav at the bar now...

"yea...can I get a Rum and Pop please?":rolleyes:

hahahaha

get me a double bourbon and pop please or jack an pop


can't trust Sprite, no caffeine in it


Ale8 is where it's at, all those KY folk know what im talking about

-bt-

Can we win college girls?

Can we win drunk college girls?

now that guy was funny.

I am really, really glad that I had a chance to see M.H. a few years ago on the Dave Attell/Lewis Black tour. Mitch was probably the funniest guy on the night.

RIP Mitch Hedberg...

hopefully not some butt ugly harper dropouts.......and yes evrything is a freaking coke down here ......unreal ask for an italian beef ...:eek: :eek: ..no clue......necks...

"Bags"? Wow, and I thought I'd seen it all when I watched a group of people play "Bunghole Golf." It's when you put a quarter between your upper legs,
and try to drop it into a shot glass. It's funnier than hell to watch. And yes, people do have their clothes on.

Must have never met any Canadians!
