Teddy Bear Toss at Yost Tonight (siap)
I searched quite a bit and did not see this posted, so sorry if I missed it somewhere.
I get to 3-4 games a year, and I'm ashamed to say I didn't know they even did this until now. Hopefully I can leave work in time to pick up a teddy bear before the game!

Meijer has teddy bears, right?

Yes! In the kids/toy section!

Sweet, I didn't want to waste my time in the Auto section!

I'd bet a buck or two that you'd find a teddy bear (of the hanging-from-the-rear-view-mirror variety) there, too.

Yost has been doing this every season for as long as I've been a season ticket holder (5 or 6 seasons now). I think they plan it based on the last home game before Christmas. If you're sitting behind the one of the nets, you might want to wander around to the side boards and toss your bear. It's quite a toss to get it over the safety nets. They almost always get a bear of two stuck in them. Have fun!

What should we set the O/U at for bears stuck in the nets?

Last year had over 1200 bears, so you've got several sections behind the netting, but the bear really has to snag in a hole to stay up there so I am going to say.
Over/under number of bears caught in the net by the end of the first intermission: 4.5
