Bob Sacamano Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) s%*# location lol I used to park over by that bar and park just south of there back in the day for free parking and used to walk past there.

TheBooneLoganEra Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I never thought there was anything wrong with how the event was structured in the past. Those who wanted to seek autographs did so, those who wanted to attend seminars did so, and you could walk through sales and attractions throughout. This change seems like it'll be messy and less structured. Kinda like the roster construction so I suppose it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I can certainly understand why they wanted a smaller venue. We'll see if they can even sell this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago "SoxFest Live" really isn't much of a rename. That's kind calling it ZoxFeZt, and claiming they renamed it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a positive thing. Could be all it takes to go from 121 losses to 121 wins in one season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even know there was a theater there lol It was recently renovated to be a music venue and a brewery (Other Half, based out of NY) opened up in there. Have not been to the venue but have heard good things. Think it's pretty small though, maybe 1500 capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBooneLoganEra Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I imagine The Ramova is faaaar cheaper than the Hyatt or Palmer House.....which is your answer regarding venue change. Looks like the kids portion is in an entirely different location which is ridiculous. Edited 6 hours ago by TheBooneLoganEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Hosting a downsized version of Soxfest there gives me visions of Hahn's infamous Reggie's chat. Better optics than canceling again, but this definitely feels like them limiting public scrutiny from fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Small venue and there's not a hell of a lot to do in the vicinity. Better than nothing, but a far cry from Soxfests of the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
