Our First Major League Baseball Game


We arrived to the heart of downtown St. Louis and saw this gigantic lit stadium. It was huge! I can say that cause we had to walk around it about 10 times trying to find people and such. The size of it even had me all turned around. There was even a casino and bar in this place. I never knew what direction I was heading. We had the craziest experience though. We were with Anthony and Amber searching for tickets. We had walked around for awhile when Anthony stopped a guy that was walking near us saying, "We brought our wives down here to see a game, do you know where we could get some tickets?" The guy then asked, "How many do you need?" Anthony said, "four." I guess then the guy just said, "here you go," ans handed Anthony an envelope and walked away. On the envelope it said enjoy and inside there were 4 tickets and 4 coupons for a hot dog and a drink. It was the craziest thing. We decided we were being watched over. It rained from the time we entered the stadium to the end of the 7th inning! Luckily we had the seats up high where you are covered. It was a very wet and humid game to sit through but all of it was free (except for parking but no biggie). (This picture is a little dark of us.)

After it had stopped raining we were able to go down right behind home plate to watch the game. The stadium was pretty empty by this time one, because of the rain and two, because the Cardinals were getting their tushies kicked. Sorry Puck!
All in all it was fun to see a major league game in real life!

I LOVE going to baseball games! Hopefully we can catch one together once we're out there! Did you see the Marriott? Cam says it's way close to the stadium.
