date outfit question for the men
Replies
-
I like outfit #2 for a day game...but it would have a SF Giant's logo on the tank (because I already have one of those! :smokin: ) The shorts would be longer and the sandals just might be my SF Giant's flip flops.
Outfit #1 would be more appropriate for a night game...because it gets chilly in SF at night. And I'd probably have jeans on.
And for the record, to the guys that think shoes don't matter: :noway: Ummm...Yes they do.
A dress to a ball game. :laugh: That would peg you as not being a true fan. Doh.0 -
But this article says, "Picture this — you’re going to dinner and a ball game for a first date. Shorts will be too casual, so what to wear, what to wear? A t-shirt dress is the perfect piece to wear for a ball game date. The breathable fabric will keep you cool, comfortable and looking cute. To add some interest and highlight your shape, synch your waist with a thin belt. Throw your hair into an effortless top knot, slip on your comfiest flats, put on a chunky necklace, sling on a cross body and you’ll be sure to turn heads at the game."
I can't see going to a ball game as a first date. The tickets are $60 a piece, beers and stadium food are sky high and the game will last for at least 3 hours. What if you don't hit it off? Which is very likely. That is an expensive and prolonged awkward experience.
The combination of dinner and a ball game? So not a first date, in the vast majority of cases.
You can get tickets for less than $60 easily. Most stadiums will have upper level seats around $10. Or perhaps you find your way to some free tickets. Usually, when I am going to a pro sports event, it is because I found my way to some free tickets. But if you find free tickets and you are a single man, you usually want to give your extra free ticket to an established friend, not a first date.
Transportation is another issue. If there's not good public transportation to the stadium (Yankees, Mets, Cubs and Red Sox are examples of teams in cities with good public transportation), you're dealing with parking. And the logistics of parking and getting in and out of a stadium are often not the best for impressing a first date. In many regards, minor league baseball is a better bet for a first date due to lower ticket prices and better logistics due to having more sparse crowds. A big crowded event isn't the best first date in a lot of scenarios (there are exceptions).
Most baseball games you can get tickets for less then you would pay for a meal or a movie. This also depends on the stadium you are going to. The first date I went to Target Field our mutual friend gave us their tickets since they had season tickets and couldn't go. Usually I will go to a minor league game but that is because we have a AAA team here not a MLB team. I am going to the Indianapolis Indians (Pirates AAA) game next weekend and for $10 GA ticket you can bring a blanket and pretty much have a picnic and watch the game from the outfield. That to me would be a wonderful date.0 -

I guess I am just used to the Cardinals games. The lowest priced tickets I've seen are $56 each.0 -

The Cardinals are one of the most popular teams in MLB with a rabid fan base. Since 2005, the Cardinals have ranked in the Top 3 in National League attendance every season. Still, StubHub is a good suggestion. A deal might be harder to come by because the inventory is in such high demand. For a team like the Minnesota Twins, there is excess capacity and a good deal for seats is easier to come by.
To the OP-have you been asked out to a baseball game date?0 -

I'm pretty sure you can get upper deck for the Twins for $1 right now.... however you will still pay over a hundred if you have two beers and something to eat.0 -

I work 2 blocks from Fenway Park. Haven't been to a game in forever because I'd have to sell some blood to pay for tickets :noway:0 -

That is doable, but then what would you have left to sell to pay for the parking!
And to answer the original question, #1 easily.0 -

A lot of the passion from playoff appearances for the Twins in 2009 and 2010 has dissipated by now. The Twins have not won a playoff game since 2004 and a playoff series since 2002.
The Red Sox have been really good for most of the past 15 years, including 2 championships. That is why tickets are so hard to get, along with the fact that Fenway Park is smaller than a lot of ballparks.0 -
Really none cause on any date anywhere I really expect a woman to have on 4 inch heels. I don't like to see a woman wear sneakers anywhere outside of a gym or unless she's participating in an athletic event. Wearing a jersey? Negative. A ballcap? What you didn't get your hair done to go out with me? I would be offended.
I guess #3 cause at a ballpark there is alot of walking so flats would be acceptable. But heels with flipflops in the purse is preferred.0 -

None of the above but if I had to choose then #2. I would definitely make some changes to outfit #20

Yeah I was just gonna ask if you were serious. I don't wear sneakers outside the gym and work but those black ones pictured are more like dressier sneakers more perfect for a game.
Idk to me wearing a dress to a sporting event screams "high maintenance watch out!" but I love dresses for every day life.
I saw a similar scenario posted on glamour a while ago. A girl was going on a date to an NHL game and the fashion advice columnist told her to wear a dress. In the comments all Of the posters said "say goodbye to a second date if you wear a dress to a hockey game."0 -

No I havent been asked out in forever. I just saw this on a fashion blog I read and thought "no way does a guy want to take a girl in a dress to a baseball game does he??" so I had to check with yall to make sure I'm not crazy,0 -

The Twins are lucky though because they still have the honeymoon phase with Target field only being a couple years old... they still get a lot of people going to games, but that will end because they are headed to Royals status.0 -
1 or 2 for the win.
--P0 -
I've gone to a lot of hockey games after work where I'm wearing a dress and no one that knows me would ever contest that I'm not a real hockey fan. If it were a date where I had time to plan, it'd depend upon the team. Mets game would be more like #1 and Yankees would be more like #2. I have a Mets jersey, but since I'm not a Yankees fan I wouldn't go out and specifically buy something Yankees related. When I (as a Jets fan) went to the Giants parade, I wore blue and red but not Giants merchandise. Basically, don't try to be something you're not, even if it's as silly as an outfit.0

The Joe Mauer contract. I am sure the Twins GM is thinking about that and :grumble:
Target Field should have been an indoor park (retractable roof). An indoor stadium often makes for a better date.
Imagine if the Twins were actually good. A World Series game would be played at below 32 Degrees Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). 0 -

You mean this was a hypothetical?
I think the least you should do now is purchase one of those outfits and ask someone out to a game, then take a pic and post it here. Minimum.

You're correct about the roof, after the Dome fans would have never gone for an only indoor stadium, but Minnesota and retractable roof should be linked... believe it or not, they are about to make the same mistake with the new Vikings stadium (unless something changed).
Mauer is starting to come on late, but his contract is way to high for the production we get out of him. I hope they start fresh at the trade deadline... we have 0 pitching!!0 -

Actually Mauer right now is playing just above value of what he is getting paid with a BA 329 (highest for a catcher in AL) and .415 OBP (highest for a catcher in AL) Frankie and Denard will probably be traded at deadline. They need to get rid of Blackburn but he has no value.0 -

I'm not sure which is worse, a post asking guys about what clothes a woman should wear to a baseball game or that very thread being hijacked to talk about the Twins. There may be more people talking about the Twins in this thread than there are at their next home game.0 -

LOL!!!!
Maybe we could get some pics of outfits to wear to Twins games instead of Pirates games. If the Pirates keep playing well, more men of Pittsburgh will bring girlfriends to baseball games. Baseball has been the forgotten sport in Pittsburgh for a while.0 -
I would wear #1 but instead of the jean shorts I'd wear a cute mini jean skirt. I'd wear dressy flat sandles, do my hair and make up.0

I still have to say he is playing under his value... he is a top paid player in the league, actually I think in all of sports. While I love the BA and OBP, for the money he is getting I need to see 20 + Home Runs/year... I believe he just got his 6th this week. Plus he refuses to be an outspoken leader in the locker room.0 -
I can't see going to a ball game as a first date. The tickets are $60 a piece, beers and stadium food are sky high and the game will last for at least 3 hours. What if you don't hit it off? Which is very likely. That is an expensive and prolonged awkward experience.
I loved baseball dates because there's so much "down time" where you can talk and just enough game play so that if topics get awkward you can focus on the game for a bit.
Football there's too much action and not enough down time, same with hockey. Haven't done a basketball date, but given the fast pace of the game I doubt it's good for getting to know someone.0 -

The last time I took a date to a baseball game one of my friends got front row seats through work to a Tigers game, he brought his wife and I brought the girl I was seeing at the time. The seats were some of the best I've ever had, if I wasn't talking to her she spent most of the time looking bored and playing with her phone, I actually felt kind of bad.I can't see going to a ball game as a first date.

I'm entertained pretty easily, and I'm perfectly happy just sitting back and watching the game. Most of the girls I know that claim how much they "love" the Tigers spend the entire game chatting and probably can't name more than three players on the team. It's just easier to avoid all the hassle and go pretend to watch the game at a bar somewhere.0
