I just got back from seeing the Braves there last weekend and I’ve never seen more expensive concessions at a baseball stadium. My guess was that was part of the way they make up for lack of ticket revenue.
On Mardi Gras day in Metairie I saw a guy wearing a hat. I asked him if he got it with his premium membership.
The assistant at the local playground my kids play at signs her emails “Yours in Recreation”.
First thought that popped in my head.
I hit 3 this season to make it 15/30. Went to Coors Field & both LA stadiums. From here on out I’m trying to make 2-3 a year until I get to the rest.

The one thing I wish they would have done was to take the roof off and put some sort of translucent roof in (or even a retractable roof if possible, engineering wise).


I think I read somewhere that it’s physically impossible bc of how it was constructed & that it would screw with the structural integrity. I do remember that one rendering years ago showed some sort of windows created in the corners to let light in, but that obviously that didn’t happen.
Flew in for tonight & tomorrow’s game. Hoping they didn’t use up all their firepower last night.
Will never get tired of watching that Soler moonshot. Chop on!
I went last month & no one even checked my kid. There’s that wonderful SKC security for you.

Same here. I had about 20 family members, including my parents go to the playoff game while I watched at my grandparents. I remember being all pumped up as we got that early lead, only to be heartbroken for the first time. Lol that was the first of many!

It got worse from game one to game two. Only thing I could think was the reason was that it was TB/Brady at 3pm instead of NYG at noon. Still, the entry process was the worst its ever been. Total shite show.
I would love one of those papers. I have one from 1992 & 1995.

4 hours of sleep for me. Doesn’t matter, best feeling in the world this morning!

Since tickets were so expensive for the games in ATL I drove over to Houston for Game 2. Right before the anthem when the whole stadium got quiet, someone yelled out "LET'S GO BRANDON!" Everyone in MM Park could hear it & started laughing.
Same here. Was ready to book some flights.

Yes the whole plant basically went down. All the grease burned for almost an entire day.
Just got in. What happens if we don’t get the 20 spots filled?

Also why Germany wears green.
Had their San Diego IPA over the weekend & it was one of the best beers I've have lately.

So how was the 17th game against Tennessee picked and why on the road?


One interconference game based on the prior year's standings on a rotating four-year cycle (one game). These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year. The home conference for this game will rotate each season.

Won the big prize instead. Solid consolation.

I encountered the same thing. Was going to give it another shot to see if it was just that particular batch.

I’ve been twice recently to the Elmwood location for lunch & they took so long with entrees that they comped them without me even asking.
