Last Sunday I had the opportunity to go to a Royals baseball game with my new friends. It was tons of fun!
First, one gal named Margy received four free tickets from a friend (who got them from work). She offered me one ticket, and when I hesitated, basically insisted that I take that ticket. Because of her, I didn’t have to pay for the ticket or the parking! Wow!!
More wow: these free tickets were RIGHT BEHIND THE DUGOUT!
Way cool!
This is Terri, the gal I sat by for the majority of the game. She was super nice and we had a great time chatting and getting to know each other.
I forgot to bring my camera so I had to rely on my cell phone camera. Definitely a major regret, because this would have been a fantastic time to have a camera! It was still fun, though. The Royals really fought hard!
These four free tickets were close to the dugout, but our group was larger than four (maybe a dozen or so?), so the rest of the group bought $20 tickets that were up on the top level, and we walked around and circulated between the two locations. Luckily, Kauffman Stadium doesn’t really have a bad seat! During roughly the third through the sixth inning, Terri and I went up to the “upper” seats and let two of our friends enjoy a few innings in the “lower” seats.
Up high, but still not too hard to see!
Towards the end of the game, I walked up right up behind the dugout to take photographs. I only got a couple of shots before an usher came up and harassed me about standing too close to the dugout.
The Royals lost, but that didn’t take away from the fun. I really enjoyed the game, the ball park, and spending time with these friends!!
