  • On the one hand, going to a game this sparsely attended is just plain weird. I've never been to any sporting event only one-quarter full. On the other hand, it was kind of nice. No lines for concessions, no lines for the restroom, plenty of elbow room at your seat. Hell, for the first couple of innings, I was the only person in my section. The occasional eerie silence and general quietness take some getting used to, but after a while I liked it. I could hear things that I never would have thought possible, such as a guy on the opposite side of the stadium heckling, or the third-base ump (I was down the first-base line) making a check-swing appeal call, or even--get this--the sound of the bat hitting the ground after being dropped by a player drawing a base on balls. And it seemed more civilized too. And I don't mean "more boring," because no matter where I go and what it's like, I'm always there to watch baseball. I liked that I could pay closer attention to the game. Even the food barkers were respectful of the ambient noise level. Aesthetically, the stadium is just a big bowl with concentric tiers of seating. Obviously the turf is an abomination. The retractable roof is sort of neat (I was secretly hoping for an indoor game because that would have been REALLY weird). And the seats are padded, just like movie-theater chairs! I like that the scoreboard shows replays and even occasionally just broadcasts the live action. Also, they have the radio broadcast in the concourses and even outside the stadium. Concessions were fairly standard, but I will say that for only $9, I got a pretty darn good chicken wrap with pretty darn good fries and a pretty darn good garlic sauce. I was pleasantly surprised. Alas, I had eaten a hot dog earlier that day and missed trying the stadium dog for the first time in my lifetime of visiting baseball parks. Unfortunately, the soft-serve was vile. Yuck. So despite the fact that the stadium itself is deeply flawed, I liked the advantages of light crowds. It was a little different than the usual ballpark experience (mostly in a good way), and I had a great time. What more can I say?
