KISS Tribute Night at the Ballpark
From: Pat Filippone / Vice President & General Manager of the Prince William Cannons
Hello my name is Pat Filippone and I am the Vice President/General Manager of the Prince William Cannons, a Carolina League Affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. A minor league baseball team.

The unique Kiss event I am talking about is a theme/tribute night to my favorite band Kiss. Right now the working title is The Prince William Cannons Rock And Roll All Night - A Tribute To The Rock Band Kiss. The event will be held Friday July 24, 1998 at 7:30 PM and DC 101 is the sponsor of the night. They are the biggest rock station in the DC area and have promised to commit 100% to pumping the event.

Activities scheduled so far are the following:

  • Our players will wear unique uniforms that will pay homage to Kiss. Artwork is being designed now.
  • Kiss music will be played throughout the game. No other music will be played.
  • Kiss video clips will be shown on our video scoreboard.
  • Kiss costume contests will be held.
  • All females named Beth will receive $1.00 off admission.
  • All 16 year old females named Christine will receive $2.00 off admission.
  • We will have Kiss trivia questions throughout the game. Kiss CD's will be handed out as prizes.
  • Special Prince William Cannons merchandise in the Kiss theme.
  • A 15 minute explosive post game fireworks show will wrap up the evening. The show will be accompanied by Kiss tunes of course.

    We would like to find a Kiss tribute band to play prior to the game during our happy hour. We would then have the band throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Possibly perform the National Anthem as well.

    We would also like to have Kiss vendors displaying their wares on our concourse during the game.
    I would love to have any input on other ideas from the Kiss Asylum audience. Particularly info on vendors and tribute bands.

    Obviously I would love to sell out our 6,000 seat stadium with Kiss fans. We play in Woodbridge, VA - 20 miles south of Washington DC. Fans that are interested in tickets ($6.50 per seat) can e-mail me at pwcannons@aol.com. Also send any ideas to me at the same address. Thank you in advance for the assistance and input.
