Long ago, Aztec god of war and wings Wingtzilopochtli did battle against the [[Blaseball Gods]]. So violent was their struggle that it scarred the earth itself, creating (among other landmarks) a crater the size of a regulation blaseball field. Centuries later, [[Mexico City Mild Wings/History#Legend of Wingtlan/Tendiechitlan|Wingtzilopochtli led the Aztecs]] to found their great city of Tendiechitlan in the valley surrounding the crater. The Aztecs, eager to give thanks, carefully excavated the walls of the crater to create a temple-stadium for the exaltation of Wingtzilopochtli.

The Bucket is the current home stadium of the Mexico City Wild Wings, located on the outskirts of Mexico City.

Architecture

The Bucket is an open-air stadium extending 45 below ground level, with outer walls 5 meters above ground level at their highest. Seating sections are arranged as a series of slightly-angled flat faces with stiff drops between levels, creating the impression of an upside-down step pyramid. The field proper lies at the bottom of the stadium and follows standard ILB guidelines. Concessions, restrooms, and team facilities are located in subterranean chambers.

Features

Sauce Cannons

The Bucket's most celebrated tradition is its sauce cannons, which fire jets of sauce skyward whenever the home team scores a dinger. The cannons draw sauce from the lake surrounding The Bucket.

Blanket

In accordance with Wings superstition, an oversized fleece blanket nicknamed "Ol' Cozy" is draped over the scoreboard before each game to prevent viewing of the score.

Mirrored Hallways

The Bucket's tight subterranean hallways make frequent use of mirrors to create the impression of a more open space. Some fans claim these mirrors are actually one-way windows, and that those with a keen eye can just make out the silhouettes of cloaked figures and the glint of jade masks. An unidentified Bucket spokesperson disputed this characterization in an exclusive interview with El Universal, claiming "some Wings fans are just crazy. After all, they root for the Wings! Ha ha ha we have fun here stop asking about the mirrors."

Ravenous Wolf Pack

Section 47 is overrun by ravenous wolves. Stadium security advises visitors not to disturb the wolves, as they are within their rights as season ticket holders.

Ground Rules

  • Any ball that falls into the sauce lake is quickly devoured by the creatures that dwell within and is considered a triple.
  • There are no home runs in The Bucket. Only dingers.

Retired Ground Rules

  • Originally, Bucket ground rules stated the game ended immediately in the Wings' favor if an eagle caught a fly ball and touched down on home base. Wings ownership quietly removed the rule after the Great Falconry Scandal of '12.

Trivia

  • After the events of Season 6, the Blaseball Gods are now banned for life from The Bucket.
  • You cannot choose your sauce when you order wings at The Bucket. The sauce chooses you.
  • While the stadium concession stands do sell corn dogs, they are heavily discouraged. Those who have purchased one often report waking up in the dead of night, their bed surrounded by hooded figures carrying obsidian-studded deep fryers.

Transportation Access

Just follow the bones.
