I have free parking in the Hyatt garage. I’m picturing an absolute shite show of a mess trying to get out the garage tomorrow. Do y’all agree? Guess park and walk is the better option ??

Park and walk. You'll sit in traffic for a while leaving the Hyatt.

Anyone who goes to this should never have the privilege of complaining about inflation or boomers ever again.

Park and walk. I always park off the Poydras exit from Broad so I can take the Poydras on ramp to the interstate. There was tons of parking and the empty lot on Galvez at Poydras was open. But I found street parking near lsu hospital.
Short walk to dome and no traffic leaving and it was free.

It’s a fun way to spend a few hours the kids love it and it’s entertaining. Paying Superdome prices for concessions did suck. I would love to see how much they make on merch.

It was bad enough I had to take my kid to this but it also took me 1.5 hrs to get out of the damn parking garage by the arena Saturday night.

A buddy and I took our boys and my nephew. I was shocked how many adults were there without kids. Easily half the crowd. No way in hell I would be there if it wasn't for my little ones.

Honestly for $40 that’s worth it just for the experience. The Bananas games are more like a show than baseball anyway, music, weird rules, crowd stuff, the whole thing moves fast. Even people who don’t care about baseball end up having fun there. Way better deal than paying $250 on stubhub.

It’s kinda something you have to be there for. Seeing on tv isn’t same.

We got tix in lottery. $40 each, outfield, plaza level, close to field.

Had a blast. It’s a show… the baseball is about SWAC level. Constant music and fun.

Several of the players on these rosters played WAY above SWAC level baseball in their careers. Some would be better than SWAC even now.

Obviously many of these players have talent and can make plays. Seems some of the errors you may see is when they're trying to make something routing look more entertaining for the crowd.

I don't think many current SWAC baseball players could do what I saw on TV yesterday the bit I watched with the family.

"it's a show"

Yea I'll say, there was like 2 outs in the 3rd or something and next thing I know there's a coin toss at midfield to determine who plays in what direction and gets the kickoff.

Talk about confusion.......

I’m ashamed for a lot of stuff

Having a good time with my kids is not something I will ever be ashamed of.
