Creative ways to advertise business at baseball game?

I know this is internet marketing, but I know there's tons of creative people here.

The baseball season is about to start over here and I would like to do something to advertise our business. We've been having trouble taking off and this is as good a time as any to do something. We have a free classifieds site.

We have a very limited budget so we can't post banners in the stadium. I was thinking of giving away some type of promotional item, but the least expensive one is about 0.30, so 15,000 of those is about $4,500. At least for now that's too much for just one day.

What creative ideas could I do that don't break the budget? We have a free classifieds site. I was thinking of handing out flyers, but I know most people will just throw it away.

These ideas could also be implemented in concerts and other activities of this nature.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    leave flyers on seats, just watch for guards. And stick flyers to bathroom walls where the business is done...if you get my drift...

    Thanks for the post.

    The problem isn't handing out the flyers, but the people not throwing them away.

    If you're going down the flyers path, do something creative with QR codes so there's a chance that you can retain their data if (and before) they throw the flyers away.

    I can't hand you the campaign on a silver platter, but if you have a strong call to action on the flyer you should be able to drive some traffic to your site and get people to do something fun (and maybe even for the first time!) with their mobile device at the game.

    Giveaway for those who scanned the QR code before the 7th inning stretch?

    Talk to the mobile hot dog / beer vendors (the dudes who go around selling food at the stands). Offer them like 1 - 2 bucks for handing out your business card or flyers together with the order.

    Sorry I meant 10 - 20 bucks LOL. They'll probably look at it as an insult if its just a dollar.
