decided to take a few gc guys to the clippers game last night. my boss has been telling its fun and cheap, so i said what the hay, lets go. drove down to the grove, picked up the twins and texas and headed to huntington park. this place was unreal, i agree with the critics, it might be the best ballpark is all of pro baseball right now. $6 for standing room tickets is great, you are only 17 rows up from the field; this is far better than sitting in the nose bleed at great american for $5. the concession prices were reasonable, and thank god they serve pepsi. oh, and the clippers won.
highlights:
-we got there early, so there was a pre-game concert, the leader singer, a lady, was terrible, we laughed at her (too loud probably)
-watched some guy get drilled in the eye by a foul ball, the system for needing ems when someone is injured is quite simple, just wave your hat in a circular motion
-found some girl from gc whose dad paid $100 for four tickets for first row seats, it was her younger brother's bday and they were sold out, so daddy bought the kid $25/person tickets
-made fun of pawtucket fans and players all night
-after the 6th inning for first row seats (a section over from our friend and her family) for free
-dropped my sunglasses on the field
-watched some cameraman have a heartattack (this what the drunk guys next to us told us) and the game got delayed for 20 minutes
-asked the left outfielder for a ball for three staight innings (never got one)
-watched two old men get hammered and look like fools
-oh and the clippers won.
moral of the story, GO!
