Sadly, when it came time for the game to be played in late March, it snowed that day, so there was no baseball.
The Bees offered a deal to the people who had purchased tickets to the spring training game - double the amount of credit toward regular season Bees' games. My spring training ticket was $40, so I have $80 worth of ticket credit with the Bees!
For whatever reason, I have not been out to the ballpark yet this year and I decided that needed to change. I love going to the ballpark on Sunday afternoon. There are usually not many people, you get to sit out in the sun and it's just relaxing and good. So I called the ticket guy last week and told him I wanted one seat in the section behind home plate and to use my credit. The seat was $20, so I still have $60 to spend. I'm hoping my friend LA can come down some weekend to see a game.
As I expected, when I got there, I was sad I hadn't been to the ballpark earlier in the season. Smiths Ballpark is a great venue with gorgeous views of the Wasatch Mountains. I bought myself a beer and plopped myself down in my seat - sort of. My seat was right next to a man and there were three empty seats between the man and a couple on the other side, so I picked the seat in the middle. Why be crowded? There was plenty of room. In fact, later, I moved to the aisle seat and was perfectly comfortable.
The game did not go well for the home team. They lost 11-2. It was great to be out there. I'm already checking the schedule to figure out when I will go again!
Here's a photo I took today of the field and the view.
