Their Millennial themed advertising set off what can only be described as mixed reaction on social media.
The ad included the promotion of selfie stations, avocado burgers, napping areas, craft beer and participation ribbons. How basic.
Twitter user GrumpySeamstress tweeted: You forgot crying room and coloring books.

The Biscuits said that the team is sorry if its advertising offended anybody, but they are standing by “Millennial Night” and would not change anything about their campaign.
Offended? Feel free to fight your battles IRL and visit us at Riverwalk Stadium. Any millennials that actually come by during office hours before next Saturday and submits a valid complaint in person to our "Millennial Night Thinktank" may get a free ticket or two! https://t.co/XUNOz29gkO
