In the first season the Ironpig’s slogan was, “Go Hog Wild!”
The next year we got my personal favorite, “Laugh, Cheer, Oink!”
Last year was pretty generic with, “All Star Valley.”
So the Ironpig’s think tank is always working full time to amuse and entertain us and I’ve noticed something popping up more and more often.
“Pig Out!”
In a copy of the Pork Barrell blog each segment is separated with a -pig out-. In an email correspondence shared with me earlier today, the salutation of the email is noted as “Pig Out”
Could the phrase, “Pig Out” be the new tagline for the 2011 season? I hope not. I would rather see, “Pig Safe!” 🙂
For me, I’ll stick my original closing and stay with that one for a while…
OinK!




I drive past the sign on Airport road daily. while waiting for the light to change, it says “Pig Out” a lot. Thinking about it, they could play Le Freak and instead of “Freak out” we could yell “Pig out”. Then again, my mind wanders a lot.

“Laugh, Cheer, Oink”
Hmm, does this mean we’re gonna see an all-you-can-eat option like some other minor–and major–league teams have? Whatever, I’ll go for quality over quantity.
I guess they found my slogan suggestion a bit presumptuous and optimistic:
PIGS WIN!
Hey, the lines at our food stands are manageable. They’ll get unmanageable when there’s a promotion (thank you, Battlefield Challenge). We already have all-you-can-eat in the Picnic Patio and the suites.
Yeah, I’m with you. If they were going to add something like this, they should either open up the patio food area to everyone with a braclet, or add some tents in left field or in the ATT plaza for the all you can eat service.
But really, as you say, they don’t need to do this. They are already selling enough food at full price, and selling enough seats and space without complicating matters. I’ve just seen it a ton with minor and major league parks over the past couple years and it would fit the new slogan.
Not to mention the lines. I’m just remembering the ticketholder party in 2009. Unbelievable lines.
As an embittered former Cubs fan who watched an inept GM and a clueless owner treat her childhood hero like dirt, I’m partial to: “Hey, Ricketts — Squeal Like a Piggy!” But that probably doesn’t have the family-friendly tone the marketing people are looking for….
Hahahahaha!
