You would think that, due to the complete lack of interest in this thing last year, they wouldn’t try having a “Stadion” again. But the fliers are up again.
Stadion (Greek for “arena”) is a game. It’s supposedly a giant race, with various games along the route. You pay $10 to participate, with the winners receiving cash prizes. Supposedly it will inspire people to work together, produce teamwork, blah blah blah….
Since no one’s actually done one of these before, and isn’t entirely sure what it is—let alone what it takes to win—and, for that matter, didn’t participate in it when it didn’t cost $10 to enter—it hardly makes sense to charge $10 to do it. But sometimes you can’t dissuade organizers when they’re convinced their idea is a good one.
Aw, who knows. It might actually get participants this year.
Not me though. I’d rather spend $10 on a jazz CD than on the opportunity to be out of breath, frustrated with myself, and annoyed that someone else is winning the cash prizes.
