Why do WNBA bobbleheads score so high?

WNBA arenas seat 9,000 to 15,000 fans, so a bobblehead capped at 10,000 covers nearly every ticketed attendee. That near-universal availability combined with a named sponsor and a highlight tier is why WNBA bobbleheads can outscore programs at much larger venues.

What separates a 98 score from a 100?

Most 98-score bobbleheads miss the sponsor signal. They have attendance caps, recognizable player likenesses, and highlight tiers, but no named "Presented by" partner. Adding a sponsor adds 3 points to the total, which is the difference between the 98 cluster and the 100 leaders.

How are recurring bobbleheads tracked?

Each calendar date with a bobblehead is one row above. A team that runs three bobblehead nights across the season shows three rows, each scored independently. The team-rankings page rolls those individual scores into a single average via the averagePromoScore field.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the highest-rated bobblehead giveaways?

The current leaders sit at the top of the ranked list on this page. The highest-rated bobblehead nights pair a stated attendance cap with a named sponsor and a highlighted-status flag from the team; entries missing one of those signals rank just behind.

Which MLB team gives away the most bobbleheads?

MLB clubs run the largest bobblehead programs. The Diamondbacks, Cubs, and Braves consistently lead in announced bobblehead nights per season. Counts shift as teams announce more promos through the year; the live list above sorts by score so the best-rated entries from any team surface first.

When do bobblehead giveaways usually happen?

Most MLB bobblehead nights run on weekend home games, especially Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Teams schedule them to drive attendance for series that are not already sellouts. WNBA bobbleheads cluster around marquee dates and rivalry games during the regular season.

Are bobbleheads still given away if you arrive late?

Usually no. Bobbleheads are handed out at the stadium gates until the listed quantity runs out, typically the first 10,000 to 25,000 ticketed fans through the entrances. Some teams reserve a small allocation at guest services for fans with specific ticket packages, but the open giveaway runs out fast.

How many bobbleheads does each team give away?

Quantities vary by team and event, recorded in the attendance cap field on each card above. MLB programs typically distribute 15,000 to 25,000 bobbleheads per game. WNBA bobbleheads sit around 8,000 to 12,000 to match smaller venue capacities.

Do bobbleheads have to be claimed at the gate?

Almost always yes. Bobbleheads are handed out at the stadium entrance to ticketed fans on arrival. A handful of teams will reserve some for redemption at guest services for fans with specific ticket packages; the team promo page lists those exceptions when they exist.
