• All fans who are graduates of a DARE program (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) can get into the game for just $2 by bringing their DARE graduation certificate to the Admirals' office or the Bradley Center box office.

• Anyone with the name Michael, Phelps, Mary Jane, Cheech, Chong, Weed (Wied) or anyone who has won an Olympic Gold Medal can also get their ticket for only $2.

• The team is giving away a weed wacker from National Ace Hardware, signed by the Admirals.

• If the team scores with 4:20 -- a number that's synonymous with pot culture -- on the clock in any period, one fan will win a season ticket for the following season.

• The team is providing a document shredder outside of section 225 for fans to destroy their own incriminating, Phelps-like photos.

1. Shout out for the Milwaukee Admirals!

4. ROFL, this is hilarious, thank goodness folks still have a sense

of humor about such things. Love the weed wacker give away, perfect!

[prolesunited]

5. Now that's good marketing

Even when all the fundies start crowing about how horrified they are about the promotion, they'll still be talking about the team. They'll definitely get wide national play on this.

6. Awesome!

Totally funny idea. Glad some folks still have a sense of humor.

7. What they should have offered to the D.A.R.E. cardholders is

a free ticket if they would promise to DARE to think for themselves!I don't advocate young people using drugs,but they should be told the truth with regards to Cannabis.

9. Had to google it

April 20th - counter culture day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

[reggie the dog]

10. counter culture day is just one myth

no one really knows where 420 comes from.

11. I used to work construction. I thought it came from the fact that we got off

from work at 4 and would be in the car headed out about 4:15 and light up by 4:20

[HillWilliam]

12. Since when

did you wait to light up?

(I guess I'm fixing my own supper tonight, huh :rofl:)
