The Picture Thread

I went to Camden Yards a few years back. What a gem of a stadium.

How 'bout dem O's, hon?

Old, crappy picture. I'll have to remember my camera next time.


And here are some from M7T Bank stadium, back during the abysmal 2007 Ravens season. Pre-season game against the 'Skins, from the Club level:

And one of the rare wins, against the Jets, from the nosebleeds. Coin toss:

The defense waits. You can see Ed Reed and Bart Scott's backs!:

Matt Stover kicking a FG:

Ray-ray on the big screen:

And the obligatory panorama:

Nice!

I went to a couple Pats games last year but I did want to lug my camera and had nosebleed seats anyway. This year we got field level seats so I will definitely bring it along. Gillette is a really nice stadium.

^Actually, M&T is really well-designed. Even from those seats, we had good view of the action. And they only cost $65 each!

 

[SmoothieX]

Cheapest seats to a Pats game run about $75-80 once Ticketmaster adds all their fees onto it. The ones I got this year came out to about $130 for midway back in the field level, down around the end zone. Anything down there midfield is a lot more.

Tack on train fare to the game (driving there is pure hell) and it comes out to be a spendy afternoon.

We're going 10/18 against the Titans, who will actually be the Oilers that day since its AFL throwback weekend.

Oh, yeah, with ticketmaster fees, the seats would have been in that range as well. I've always just gotten tickets off people with season seats though, so the $65 price was the actual price. Single game tickets actually went on sale today, so they're probably sold out. If I'd gotten up earlier, and had a few extra 100 dollars, I would have just walked down to the stadium and bought some there...

I really need to work my boss for his season tickets. He got his seat licence the day they became available, so his seats are rockin'. A section, 50 yard line, baby!

^ There's a woman here with season tickets than I need to make clear to that I am willing to buy a game or two off her if she can't go. No clue where the seats are, but hey who cares.

Arena Football game. Seats would have been okay if we weren't stuck behind this net. Good thing we just went to give us something to do and not because we actually like arena football.

The President's race:

I thought Arena Football's season was canceled.

 

[RoJoHen]

I thought Arena Football's season was canceled.

I actually thought so, too. But I guess not.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

It could be afl2 I guess. Do you remember the team names?

 

[RoJoHen]

Quad City Steamwheelers and some team from Iowa called the Barnstormers.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Yeah, afl2. Congratulations, you watched a minor league AFL game

 

[RoJoHen]

Yeah, afl2. Congratulations, you watched a minor league AFL game

Oh, I know. We don't do major league stuff around here.

This is from June 2007, we went to the Jackson Hole Rodeo for the night. Our seats were in the front row, on the equivalent of the 50 yard line. I don't know a thing about rodeos really, but it was a lot of fun to see.

Went to the Twins/Rangers game last night. My mom works for a company that has a suite, so she got some extra tickets for me and my fiancée. It's certainly watching a game in style! They feed you a lot, and each suite has a sort of balcony where you can sit outside and watch the game. Lots of room, free food, and baseball, and the Rangers won in walk off fashion! What's not to love?

View from the parking lot. Yep it was that close.

Inside the suite.

View from my outside seat.

AJ, officially spoiled...
