So I finally made it out to the new Phillies stadium to catch a game there for the first time. I hadn't been to one since they played at the Vet, which was basically run down piece of shit stadium that was terrible for Baseball.
As you can see from the photo (I shamelessly stole from the Phillies website lol) it was me, my wife, and my parents that went. It was a cold and rainy day but we were lucky enough to have seats under an overhang so we didn't get wet. The stadium is absolutely gorgeous and there is a bunch of stuff to do there besides watching the game. They have a section that has a wall mural detailing the history of the team, games like fast pitch and virtual base stealing, and plenty of little places to catch a bite to eat.
As for the game, it turned out to be a pretty memorable one. Our back-up Centerfielder Jason Werth ended up hitting 3 home runs and getting 8 RBI's (both tying club records) as the Phils ended up beating the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3. Usually the games I go to are pretty boring and uneventful, and I was so happy I got to see something like that this time.
I have a ticket to the July 10th game against the St. Louis Cardinals, where I'll be going with a bunch of guys from work. It should be a good time, I can't wait.
