    Ever since Crane allowed ziplocked food into the Juice Box, my buddies and I have taken full advantage - we call it the Crane Initiative.

    Sometimes it's Frank's Pizza, sometimes it's street tacos, but sometimes we like to make a huge pot of spaghetti bolognese and slurp it out the bag with the help of those plastic consession utensils.

    Needless to say, we are heroes on those days.

    Why are the Astros force feeding the fans with Pride propaganda? Can we not enjoy a baseball game without this forced indoctrination? Pushing these types of polarizing ideas on captive audiences (especially one with kids) is awful.

    It used to be that the gay rights folks wanted to be accepted in society. Now that they have largely achieved this, they are taking it much further to shoving it down all of our throats and forcing people to approve it otherwise they'll cancel them. I am teaching my kids the opposite of the Pride movement (traditional family values, humility) because that is consistent with my beliefs and better for society, imo. And the difference is that I am not demanding that the Astros have a theme night to celebrate it.

    Damn, and I thought I was bad ass. Bringing warm food that requires utensils is next level.

    I wonder if these mini backpacks could maintain structural integrity under the harsh conditions (weight, heat, viscosity) of a boiling pot of bolognese?

    Good grief. It’s just a backpack. They aren’t forcing you to take one and they aren’t forcing you to use it. It’s a freebie IF YOU WANT IT.

    I’m not aware that anyone demanded to have this “theme night.” I think this is probably one small part of the Astros overall marketing plan.

    A few weeks ago I put a clear multi compartment Tupperware container of hot food inside a large zip lock bag. Not sure if the security guard just didn't care but since it was inside of a zip lock bag that's all that seemed to matter and I got inside without issue.

    Wait you can bring in food from the outside into MMP and people still pay $20 for one hamburger and fries?

    Twitter is a laugh riot on the announcement comments.

    Bigot!
    This name calling thing is a lot less fun than you make it out to be. I will leave you to it as I much prefer baseball.
