2,600 hot dogs will fall from the sky during Illinois baseball game. Here's why
Rain may be in the forecast for an Illinois baseball team's July 22 game — but it won't be just water falling from the sky. Fans will get pelted with 2,600 hot dogs dropped from a helicopter during the game, the Joliet Slammers announced in a July 11 news release. If successful, 'The Wiener Drop' will break a bizarre world record of most hot dogs dropped from a helicopter in one hour, the team said. The promotion set for the Slammers' July 22 game will also celebrate the release of Pabst Light, officials said. 'We've done a lot of wild promotions at the ballpark — but dropping 2,600 hot dogs from a helicopter for fans to eat to attempt a world record? That's a new one, even for us,' owner Night Train Veeck said in a statement. Tickets, which are on sale now, cost $2.60 for the 6:35 p.m. game against the Gateway Grizzlies. The stadium is also running a $2 special on Pabst Light to fit the theme of the night. Joliet is about a 45-mile drive southwest from Chicago.
