Originally, just Hubby and YD had planned to go. I'm not so big on sporting events and I like my quiet time at home. He starts giving me all these reasons to go -- I honestly can't remember anything he said until he hit, "You can have a hot dog!" Hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm?!?! I was ready to go in a few minutes.
The Scottsdale Stadium was built in 1992 and is in the middle of downtown Old Scottsdale. It will hold 12,000 people and I think 11,500 were on the lawn with us. Lawn seating is the cheap seats. You bring a blanket, spread it out on the grass, watch the game, watch the fans, and work on your tan. We saw people playing cards, lots of kids rolling down the semi-steep grassy hill and many babies (I guess it is Spring). I even took a small knitting project for when I got tired of people watching -- a simple, rolled brim baby hat. I need a fast baby gift for an announcement we just received last week.
I had my hot dog. It was delicious! I ate it so fast, I forgot to take a picture of it. So I took one of some guy at the condiment stand juggling several dogs and fries. And my sweet Hubby tracked down a bag of Cotton Candy -- or as he calls it, Polyester Candy -- for me, which was hard to do near the end of the game. Supplies were low!
A good time was had by all ... except for the San Francisco Giants who were beat by the San Diego Padres ... 7 - 0.
Here are a bunch of pictures from yesterday, starting with this parking sign that YD pointed out to me. For some weird, unknown reason, it has a sticker of a ball of yarn on it.

That's going to be one funky smelling baby bonnet! Lol Good game here last night - Suns win, but not by MUCH! : )
I've only been to one baseball game my whole life. Dad took me to a Salt Lake Gulls game when I was in junior high just because I was a huge fan of the Oak Ridge Boys at the time and Richard Sterban (the bass) bought part ownership of the team and was signing programs opening day. I don't remember the game at all -- just gawking at Richard Sterban as he signed my program. I think Dad appreciated being "dragged" to a baseball game.
How cute is that? Sounds like a fun day!
When you think about all the other funky baby smells, I'm sure it will be just fine! Missed the Suns game, but glad to hear they won. :-)
