Definitely not a bad way to spend a day and afternoon at the ballpark spending Canada Day.
First things first - I am not a sports fan, and I consider Toronto Sports Team to be well more or less lacklustre in performance in general. There are such high expectations for the Jays this year - that I am still of the opinion that any Toronto based sports team aims to aim high only to disappoint at the very end.
However, negative feelings aside - Canada Day ball at the ball park is an awesome time out - even if SO's parents and 1/2 of your parents are meeting for the first time, since all the pressure is on the home team to bring home the win - which they did quite handily I might say.
Atmosphere - Festive - Canada Day - so it was almost a carnival like atmosphere before game time - the freebie of the day was a red Jay replica hat - but there were others like t-shirts and when you left the game - a free gas card. However you need to get there and leave there early - since they do run out of the giveaway stuff rather quickly.
Once you enter in the gates - there are no IN and Out privileges so make sure you do all your outside the gate exploring first before heading on in.
Beer vendors and snack vendors galore - they come up and down the aisles pretty much until the end of the 7th inning stretch - which is pretty much when they stop serving beer to you seat-side and once the sun comes out - it's ice cream vendors too. The food is pretty much what you expect at the park, which is more or less pricey for what you are getting.
The game - pretty much was fast paced from the get-go and the crowd gets into it pretty quickly, when the home team does something unexpectedly good. Two bases stolen and the crowd is on their feet screaming and cheering, and hopping up and down.
Seems the best seats are around the outfield or just behind home plate the catch those foul balls..
Taking a date out the ballgame or even the parents and in-laws out to the ballgame - because they'll have something to talk about and it won't be you.
disclaimer: if either set of said parents don't like sports or sitting out in the sun - this isn't the activity for you to use as a method of introduction to each other.
