Redforce[TK] Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) The 501st Legion's Empire City Garrison attended the Fourth Annual Star Wars night at CitiField to help raise money and promote the “ Stand up to Cancer “ movement. Members of the Rebel Legion's Echo Base also came out to help support the event. The event was on Friday, July 11th, 2014 during the NY Mets vs the Miami Marlins game. We arrived at Citi Field at approximately 5:30-5:45 pm. We were given 2 fairly decent sized locker rooms for a changing area and were provided with plenty of food and beverages which included a catered layout of vegetable trays, chicken fingers, hot dogs, Gatorade, soda, juices and water. It’s safe to say that we were very well taken care of. We suited up and went out on the floor at 6:30 on one of the tiers for the Star Wars night costume contest. We spent about 15-20 minutes for photo ops with fans before the contest. We then went up on the stage and the contest began. Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia were chosen to be the judges for the contest. There were 3 children picked as the winners of the contest. After the contest ended we went back to the locker room. We were then separated into 2 groups in which we were taken to various parts of the stadium at different times throughout the game for activities which included “ stand up to cancer “ promos and star wars trivia which were projected live up on the big stadium screens for all to see in between innings and on commercial breaks. We were brought onto the field to do t-shirt tosses as well and we escorted the costume contest winners out onto the field at the 7th inning stretch for their announcement. We were all given a Mets t-shirt and a limited edition Travis d'Arnaud Jedi Knight bobble head. Gary Garcia and the stadium staff were very much hospitable towards us. Over all I would say it was a great event.
