Chiefs to put Senate Seats up for auction
The Peoria Chiefs are following the lead of other minor-league baseball teams in the aftermath of the latest political scandal in Illinois.Well, at least it's for charity.
The Chiefs announced they will auction off not one, but two special 'Senate Seats' to each home game for the 2009 season.
'Just as the United States Senate Seat vacated by President-Elect Barack Obama is viewed as the best opening in the Senate, the ‘Senate Seats' will be the two best seats in the house for Chiefs games,' the team said in a release.
The seats are located in the second row of section 108, directly behind home plate. They usually sell for $10 per game.
They 'Senate Seats' will be available via auction on the Chiefs Web site at www.peoriachiefs.com beginning February 1. The auctions will end 24 hours prior to each home game and begin at $20. All proceeds from the 'Senate Seat Auctions' will be distributed at the end the season among local charities.
