Going Back to the Ballpark?

[qtlaw]

Just bought two tickets to see my Giants; first time in ballpark since 2019. (Lost opening day but had a 6-1 lead and Gausman looked like an ace and Buster homered) Excited but a bit cautious.

Anyone else going to the ballpark?

I read the list of protocols for my beloved and mediocre Reds, and it just doesn't sound like a fun day at the park to me. I can wait until things are a bit more normal.

The NYT published a list of all the teams' capacities with notable info about other COVID restrictions -- except for the entry on the Rays, where someone couldn't resist a dig.

After May 15 — two weeks on from that second shot — I’m planning to go basically wherever I want. Masked up, just in case, but yeah, I expect to see some baseball in person this season.

It’s not wrong. I went to more than 40 games at the Trop and I can count on one hand the number of times the actual butts-in-seats count would have hit five figures.

For sure. I used to live at St. Pete Beach and would go to a couple games a year. People bitched about the Trop's utter lack of character but I looked at it as a cheap few hours out of the sweltering heat that just happened to have a ballgame for entertainment.

I will definitely be attending live baseball sometime this season. I also very much enjoy minor league baseball and have my eye on a series in late May between the Altoona Curve and the Erie Sea Wolves...

I probably will at least take in a minor league game or two (since it's only 30 minutes away). If I get back to Chicago in late summer (a possibility), I would like to see the White Sox.

Also, I still can't believe the Mariners came back to win. Gausman absolutely shut them down for the first six to seven innings.

I will go back to the park. Probably this summer. That's in part because I''m confident that the people in my team's area are vaccinated, as I soon will be. The city of my birth is not especially populated with anti-vaxxer, bleach-drinking Trumpists, whose despicable reluctance to undertake a simple act of humanitarianism and self-preservation should subject them to scorn.

What's the point of being vaxxed if you can't do anything?

Mrs. Micro and Micro Jr. might go to a Rockies game later this month. The main drawback isn't Covid, it's the $54 pricetag for an outfield nosebleed seat.

Damn that’s high

No kidding. If it's a nice day and they decide to go, they'll buy from one of the guys outside the ballpark.

The last time I was at Coors we paid a total of $40 per person for three games; $20 for behind the dugout one night, then $10 and $10 for outfield seats the next two days.

Im jealous you guys can even go to the ballpark

 

[dixiehack]

I’m retired from baseball fandom as of Sept. 2019. But as I’ve posted elsewhere I’m hitting the Predators regular season finale next month and I imagine some games for the local USL club are in my future. But I’ve also vowed to be less of a slave to the sports calendar on the other side of this.

Exactly, there's no guarantee we will even see the Jays playing in Toronto this season. Guess there will be no Inter County season either, huh, Elliotte?

 

[Deskgrunt50]

Unless things go completely off the rails, I’m planning on grabbing a few game at the ballpark in late July/August. Really missed it last year.

 

[MileHigh]

Definitely plan to get to Coors Field in the coming weeks.

 

[Octave]

I will go to as many as I can, and I always liked to distance at the ballpark anyway.

I have been trying to get tickets to my new hometown team the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer but they have limited seating and I keep missing the chance to get tickets on line. I just went to the site to check the correct spelling and I see they are stopping for a week due to covid protocol.

Also looking forward to seeing the Myrtle Beach Pelicans this year. They are a Cubs affiliate. Hope to see the Red Sox farm teams, hoping they play each other. I haven't checked yet as they are delayed.

I haven't been to a game since I left the biz, and haven't gone as a paying fan since 2016. I miss going, but I also don't want to deal with the hassle. I'm fully vaccinated, so there probably won't be any hassle per se, but it won't be the same as before. There's a lot going on in my life with a toddler in the house and another one on the way, if I'm not going to have a good time like before, not sure it's worth it. That said, knowing my luck, the first game I'll go to will last 16 innings and I'll stay because I refuse to leave a game early if I've paid for the ticket.

I do want to go to Camden Yards at some point, but I'd rather wait until Maryland opens up a bit more. Won't be the same without a couple of Natty Bohs at Pickles pregame.
