I remember going to games in the past I got stuff like Antoine Walker and Walter McCarty bobbleheads and posters and it was kind of a cool surprise, have they done stuff like that at any games this year or is that just not done anymore? Posted it in the off-topic forum as it really doesn't need to be discussed in the regular celts forum.

T-shirts the first home game.  So far, I think that might be it. 

This type of thing seems to have happened less and less over the last couple seasons though (and the quality of stuff has dropped as well).  I think the economy has hit some of the advertisers, who generally pay for this stuff, pretty hard.

thanks for the info, now that I think about it I wasn't even handed a complimentary mini-program last week when I went which was always provided in the past.

i also think that they gave away more things when the team wasnt very good, as a way to potentially attract people.  now, the team/players are the attraction....which is the way it should be.
