"iPad Monday" is the Hudson Valley Renegades' attempt at capitalizing on the New York Yankees' iPad ban. The short-season class A, minor league baseball team is inviting fans to bring their iPads to the ballpark every Monday night for the entirety of the 2010 season. Those that do will be rewarded with a free general admission ticket while supplies last.
The team will also be taking the opportunity to offer social media assistance and educate iPad-owning fans. A ReTweet booth will be set up in the main concourse where fans can go for help with setting up or updating their Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare accounts. We're assuming this means that Dutchess Park is a Wi-Fi-friendly zone.
Of course, the bring-your-iPad-to-the-stadium initiative is just a gimmick to get press, but it's a gimmick of the best kind and one that's guaranteed to up fan attendance at Monday night games. The social media tie-ins are also a nice touch and speak to the organization's ongoing commitment to digital ingenuity.
