You get to people watch, you get to see the players do things you don't see on the idiot box, and you don't have any commercials or commentators. Get a hot dog and a beer, siddown and knit to your heart's content. Look up occasionally and listen to the crowd. You'll have a great time.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah. Bring a seat cushion.

Sadly, the old one will be torn down. The new one is actually quite nice.<BR/><BR/>I'm always rather shocked when the boyfriend comes out with some random sports trivia. He hates sports of all varieties, but swears when you are a boy, forced to hang out with other boys, you pick some things up.

You can imagine that I might have a little chip on my shoulder about football and baseball and baskeball and all the other sports that actually got funding while we had to sell candy bars and have car washes every year just to buy new suits. (Don't ask me about the new uniforms the football team got every year.) Yeah, high school was 20 years ago and I'm still bitter. So, I don't pay much attention to anything that happens on land, especially if it involves a ball. (I lived in Pittsburgh six months before I figured out that the Pirates and the Bucs are the same thing.) I did grow up in IL, however, which does somehow put an abiding interest in the welfare of the Cubs into your blood, whether you want it or not. However, I'll take Michael Phelps in a LZR any day over some dude who spits and wears knickers!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091275490613600640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-45509461955527784832008-07-07T23:49:00.000-04:002008-07-07T23:49:00.000-04:00Aww, Franklin, you're just not approaching the who...Aww, Franklin, you're just not approaching the whole thing properly. You go to the game for the FOOD! I've made a study of it, and it doesn't matter which guys are hitting the ball with their sticks....hot dogs taste better at a ball game than anywhere else in the world. And you know, we Wisconsinites eat more sausages at our Brewers games than anyone else in the world do anywhere for anything. (Also - you can now get all manner of food at ball games, besides the usual peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Would you believe *mountain oysters* at the baseball games in Colorado???)

I know some very lovely sports people, but my choice is to forgo that scene. Being in grade school and dealing with the empty beer cans and after game mess left on my street made a deep impression on me. I still have no clue how the game works, and I plan on staying that way. I'm able to handle other sport arenas, not sure if it's the same for you- but good for you on overcoming that duck-and-cover reaction!JenneferDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845544940285696358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-15962079562443430212008-07-07T17:25:00.000-04:002008-07-07T17:25:00.000-04:00It was your "buckeye" comment that gave it away.
