PhantomDreamer Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I just read an article by the Seattle Times' Larry Stone about the Mariners involvement with The Naked Gun and it didn't mention anything about merchandising. The Mariners, at that time, had the worst logo and uniforms in their history anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStoicPaisano Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The final scene of The Naked Gun took place at Angels game, but it was filmed at Dodger Stadium. MLB forced them to use the Mariners as one of the teams, which is why the Dodgers weren't the home team.Really? Why was that? They had some of the lowest attendance/merch sales and were one of the worse teams at the time. Trying to boost the brand a little bit.That may be true, but it sounds like an urban legend.Do you have anything that says differently?Um, the person making the original claim usually provides proof.

PhantomDreamer Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Has anyone actually listened to the DVD commentary on that movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 The 2002 movie Life or Something Like It had some scenes filmed @ Safeco Field. The film was set in Seattle. I can't seem to find any pics at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 What, not one mention of Washington's RFK Stadium getting picked up and moved across DC by Magneto in the new X-Men movie? (Or that it's shown being prepped for baseball, despite the scene taking place in 1973 when there was no MLB team playing there?) You're slipping, people...

daveindc Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 House of Cards and Veep are both filmed in Baltimore, so I guess those directors have to pretend that D.C. politicians still travel to Baltimore and watch O's games like it's the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The Natural was filmed at the old Rockpile (War Memorial Stadium) in Buffalo NY, former home of the Bisons baseball and Bills football teams.Also, that Syracuse football movie starring Dennis Quaid (name escapes me) used Northwestern's Ryan Field as the mock Syracuse stadium.

I can't believe I didn't realize it was Ryan Field. I think that field is very distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnyoutuesday Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Metrodome was used in Little Big League. The office that was used in the movie was a modified suite. The real offices were below the stands Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Thinker Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I can't believe this hasn't come up yet, but the Field of Dreams is an actual baseball field in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa. It's still kept in good condition, and you can visit it. One of my best memories with my dad was playing catch with him on the field, just like the scene in the movie. It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be like between the Single-A Midwest League Cedar Rapid Kernels and the Clinton LumberKings or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be like between the Single-A Midwest League Cedar Rapid Kernels and the Clinton LumberKings or something like that. They'd have to put a real fence up in the outfield. Nobody wants to see the outfielder going back for a fly ball and running over James Earl Jones. They should leave it as it is.
