So happy :)
 
Its really, really, really hot in FL.  So, I expect to be terribly sunburned.  Hmmm..  Kinda sucky.  C'est la vie

I expect the marlins to win since they're bigger and like to eat birds.

The Cardinals won, and iirc the final was 12 to 7.  Maybe 13 to 7.
 
My brother won these tickets off the radio.   I thought row b, and radio tickets would be on the floor.  We wound up in nosebleed.
 

 
I've got video of the game too, but I am not sure what the policy is on sharing that.  I know when you watch games on tv, they give you a huge disclaimer about sharing video.
 
Btw, How far have cell phone cameras come?   Cause that is all that is..   a cellie cam..
 
Some of the other photos came out really nicely too.   Some maybe better than this.  But I took near 50 so I am not going to upload em all.

Man I haven't seen a MLB game live for a bazillion years.
As a kid we would go to either Cubs or White Sox games with little league.
Sure is different when you are sitting there vs on TV.
Looks like the radio station should have given away a few MORE tickets....
Stands a bit sparse eh?

North Carolina and North Carolina State are playing each other in the College World Series later today, and I'm working.
I may be able to catch the end if it goes 18 innings like their game a couple weeks ago.

It was kind of empty, but you know, "Marlins," not exactly a killer team... I also haven't been to a live game since my teens, and it was so nice to see one in this facility.  As I was saying, "Florida is really hot, and the sun is going to kill you."  So you couldn't imagine the look on my face when I realized this was a fully air conditioned dome. Marlins Park is an impressive stadium to say the least..
 
The big diff between games during my teens, and games now:  Nobody cared when the stadium was quite sparse, they always were sparse till the end of the summer, but you could sneak down to the seats by the field.  Nowadays: No sneaking down to the better seats.  
 
I remember the last Yankees game I was at, talking to Dave Winfield from the stands, my buddy and I hanging over the gate with our arms practically reaching the fowl line. We strolled down there from 3 levels up...    Go ahead and try and get away with that now; "they will pull you from the park so fast." Maybe nobody noticed us eh; I guess we were a lot smaller and faster back then.

For some reason the Florida teams never get decent crowds.  Looks like a wonderful stadium to watch a game in though!
