The 167 bettors who cashed in on the Luis Suarez's latest bite aren't the only ones who will benefit from the incident. The National Premier Soccer League's Fort Worth Vaqueros announced that they will host "Luis Suarez Fangs Night" on June 29. What does "Luis Suarez Fangs Night" include? For starters, the first 50 fans to show up to Vaqueros owner Michael Hitchcock’s barbecue—which includes free “Chiellini” dogs and Jarritos soft drinks—in the LaGrave Field parking lot on Sunday will receive a free pair of fangs. Those fangs will essentially serve as a ticket to the team's game, as those fans will get in for free. Even if some fans aren't one of the first 50 fans to show up to the barbecue, they will be able to get into the game for relatively cheap. In order to get in for free, all they have to do is find a pair of fangs and bring them to the game. Vaqueros director of business operations Tobias Xavier Lopez explained why the team is holding the promotion: The World Cup can be filled with magical moments of skill but the pageantry of the tournament also includes those ridiculous moments of absurdity that add another layer of color. Luis Suarez just joined Maradonna’s ‘Hand of God’ goal or Zidane’s headbutt in the lore of wonderfully outrageous moments. Fort Worth is looking to get fans to pack the stadium for a crucial game as they look to make the playoffs. Luckily, the Vaqueros are able to offer a bizarre promotion like this to try to encourage fans to come out and show their support. |
167名球迷因賽前下注蘇亞雷斯咬人而獲利,但他們并非唯一因此次事件受益者。據(jù)體育網(wǎng)站bleacherreport報道,美國超級足球聯(lián)盟( National Premier Soccer League)球隊“沃斯堡牧童隊”(Fort Worth Vaqueros)宣布,他們將于6月29日舉辦“蘇亞雷斯尖牙之夜”(Luis Suarez Fangs Night)活動。 “蘇亞雷斯尖牙之夜”都包括什么項目?周日,牧童隊老板希區(qū)柯克(Michael Hitchcock)將在拉格拉夫球場(LaGrave Field )舉辦燒烤野餐,屆時將提供免費的“基耶利尼”熱狗和Jarritos軟飲,前50名到達(dá)現(xiàn)場野餐現(xiàn)場的球迷將免費獲得一對尖牙。這些尖牙其實是球隊比賽的門票,擁有尖牙的球迷可以免費入場看球。 即使一些在50名以后達(dá)到的球迷,也能以較低的價格觀看比賽。為了免費入場,所有人必須找到一對尖牙,并帶到球場。 牧童隊的業(yè)務(wù)運營總監(jiān)洛佩茲解釋了為什么球隊會舉辦這樣的活動: “世界杯既可以充滿很多球技炫目的瞬間,也可以擁有很多荒唐可笑的時刻,后者為這一盛事慶典添上一抹不一樣的色彩。同馬拉多納的“上帝之手”、齊達(dá)內(nèi)的頭頂對手一樣,蘇亞雷斯這一咬也可算作令人驚嘆的瘋狂時刻了。” 沃斯堡市希望球迷可以包下整個體育場觀看一場重要比賽,讓他們看起來有能力舉辦季后賽。幸運的是,牧童隊恰好能夠舉辦這樣一個奇葩的活動來招攬球迷,并得到他們的支持。 (譯者 SurpassZhao 編輯 齊磊) 掃一掃,關(guān)注微博微信
