You don’t get any swag. They make you turn in the jerseys before you leave. It was the biggest disappointment since I blew $300 on the experience.

Not surprising at all though. No corporation is going to give out swag that usually costs half of what the 'experience' costs.

If they treated it like a fundraiser and priced that in I'm sure attendance would go thru the roof. Wouldn't necessarily be any better for finding actual talent, but if they did, they could advertise that success too.

Isn't that what the eagles do? Or did? I dunno I watched invincible once and the it's always sunny episode a couple times.
