Someone put that date on the last thread about fanfest.

Also: http://www.spenceloa.com/eventdtls.aspx?eID=131

 

So, I don't know. Seems like that's the date, though.

MLB.com just announced that the Marlins traded the Feb. 9th date for Fan Fest to the Toronto Blue Jays for prospect dates, including February 29th, July 34th, and September 0th.

I spoke to a friend of mine, who's a season ticket holder, and he told me that the team told him that it was going to be an event just for them.

'Winter Warm up'

The Marlins traded the name Fanfest for warm up. Warm up starts with a W so it should result in more winning.

"Winter Warm up" includes a high school game at 11am, can't wait to see our starting 9! :banghead

Everything the Marlins touch goes to shit. So precious! :lol

why change name? their didnt have good offseason why have winter warmup

You may not know what Winter Warm Up is, but marketing people do.

other thing look like this was added to their website today

According to those two articles, it seems pretty scaled back. Nothing about other things for sale (cards, etc...) or even open mike Q&A's.

Of course. Why would they have Q&A's when all the Q's would be negative and them getting ripped. They'd have no A's for that. Don't blame them. It'll change back to normal Fanfest down the road.

I'm a little surprised they're holding it at all.

Should be a nice intimate gathering.

I understand that reasoning. But it never stopped them before. Of course "before" they weren't labeled as having conned the city and county out of millions. And "before" they hadn't muzzled Samson. I guess it goes along with (paraphrasing), "This is a new and different franchise."

I estimate ~50.

 

I wonder if those who canceled their packages since last year will be invited. Then I could see at least 1,000.

 

If they're wanting to make it look like people are interested in the team though, which they definitely are, I highly doubt it will be season ticket holders only. This is South Florida. They give out free shit. People will go even if they don't know what a baseball is.

Winter Warm Up is open to public but there will be a season ticket holder only event that day as well. Think of it like VIP at FanFest but with less people getting the pass.

What's the season ticket holder event? I plan on taking my nephew but I'm not sure what will he be going for. He likes meeting the players and getting autographs even if he doesn't know who they are.

Full details aren't out, at least that I have seen but it will feature player autographs with a lot less competition from fans.

Tell him it's okay if he doesn't know who they are, because no one else does either.
