B enjoyed the bright lights and the people around us cheering...however, he wasn't a fan of the whole stadium breaking out in pure elation over a home run being hit...
Chad enjoyed the opportunity to plow his way through a bag of peanuts & and heckle the opposing team's players...
I enjoyed catching up with Clint and Melissa & people watching...
Until our plans were thwarted by a huge rainstorm! We had purchased tickets for the "cheap seats" so we were up near the top of the stadium. Prior to the rain, we noticed the sky start to turn a deep dark shade of blue and other fans made their way to the top of the stadium to look out west...the pointing fingers should have been our first clue! Then the wind picked up...the temperature dropped...Melissa and I moved downstairs to the bathroom to take cover...Chad and Clint stayed put to cheer the Ranger's on...the rain started...and the game was delayed...
After waiting about an hour for the rain to let up...Chad and Clint decided to get the cars and call it an evening. The two drove laps around the stadium in effort to pick us up so we could stay as dry as possible. It was a failed effort, they learned that you can't drive up to the stadium when a game is in progress, so the they came back to the stadium to meet us and we all walked back to the cars in the rain. We said our good byes...got in out respective cars, drenched and figured the game would be called.
As we drove home...we saw fireworks at the stadium in our rear view mirror...and the next morning we learned that the Rangers had completed the game shortly after we had left....
Even though our plans were slightly altered, we enjoyed a fun, exciting and wet game at the ballpark!
