Actually, what I had in mind was the sort of minor-league event that
goes on not too far from my new place, where there are fireworks *after*
the Friday games, and half the folks haven't managed to make it there by
the 7PM start time due to problems in getting out of work and fighting
their way there in the traffic. (Of course, I've only heard about it --
I haven't managed to go to a game yet. Maybe next month, with some
friends....)
