With all the traveling I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been slack on checking my emails, but this one I found today from Rob McGowan is one that really caught my attention.

 The Cougars recently held a ‘Pillow Fight Night’ and now hold the unofficial Guinness World Record for largest pillow fight. 

Kane County Cougars fans have unofficially broken the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest pillow fight, eclipsing the previous Guinness record of 3,648 people. Following this evening’s game, 3,872 fans descended upon the Elfstrom Stadium outfield grass and took part in a memorable 90-second pillow fight. The historic try, sponsored by Back to Bed included both young and old fans, families with children and groups of teenagers. Many anxious Cougars faithful arrived to the ballpark with pillows brought from home, some containing pillowcases that were homemade creations featuring the Cougars’ logo and team colors. With the help of Back to Bed, fans were also provided regulation pillows that were used during the attempt.

This part really makes me laugh:

Throughout tonight’s pillow fight, fans were seen erupting in uncontrollable laughter as they swung their pillows. Just seconds into the fight, spectators observed a thick blanket of white feathers that were strewn across the right field grass in the designated “red zone”. Cougars staff divided the outfield grass into three “levels of aggression” – a green zone for families with small children, a yellow zone for families of teenagers, and a red zone for adults.

So if you’re really competitive, you could head over to the ‘Red Zone’ and kill everyone in sight with a pillow.  Now that would be fun.  So please Vancouver Canadians, if you have 3,873 people on the field after a game hitting each other with pillows, we’ll be world record holders, and bruised baseball fans.
