I'm not exactly what you'd call a rabid sports fan. Nor am I a loyal one. Perhaps because I've lived in so many places, I have a hard time relating to the concept of a city's team being "my" team. Furthermore, I've always harbored the type B, sappy wish for the winning team to be the one who needs the win the most. All that said, I do enjoy venturing out to the occassional sporting event. I like the festive energy of the crowd, and being Wendy Sue, yes, I like the food. When Dave took me to a Diamondbacks game a couple of Saturdays ago, I got very lucky in that department as he had VIP passes and we had lunch on the patio of the private Lexus Club. We stayed there from before the game started through several innings. It was the perfect way to watch the game.
Afterwards I felt the need to burn off some calories by climbing stairs. I'd love to say I'd climbed all the way from the bottom, but we only climbed from about halfway. The reason there are so many seats is this was a pre-season game (against the Padres).
I don't remember the name of the stadium (some corporate name of course) but it's a beautiful one. It's the only stadium I've ever seen that has a swimming pool.
