The Philadelphia Flyers invite their fans to be a part of history and help the team break the Guinness World Record for “most people wearing wigs at a single sporting event” when the team takes the ice at Wachovia Center against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, October 30. For tickets to the game, click here.
All fans will be given a FREE orange wig and prompted to wear them during the game to “orange crush” the current record (6,213 fans) set by the Detroit Pistons on March 19, 2004 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
In addition to the world record attempt, in anticipation of Halloween, the Flyers will have numerous living ghouls and scary characters and trick or treating for kids on the concourse, as well as a costume contest for adults and kids in the Cingular Pavilion.
Call me a skeptic, but whenever I see the Guinness Book reference on a promotion I just doubt it’s legit. In some cases it could be that some teams have broken records without going through the Guinness Book (note: I am not doubting their claim here, I am just saying I have the reaction of skepticism when I see it).
If anyone can help explain the process of working through the Guinness Book and your experience with that I would love to hear from you. You can email me directly or connect here and I will follow up.
