FAN FEST WAS AWESOME!!

[E.T.]

Thanks ET for the picture of Grothe with my son and I.  Didn't know it was you until now.

Small world ... hope I took a good pic for you.

Hitting the first table up on the concourse after exiting the escalator, they were selling the 2007 Media Guides.  This is the truth, would you BULLIEVE, they said they would only accept credit cards or a check for purchasing the book.  Is that insane or what? 

WELL, my hubby asked for the "man in charge" and said to him "What, you don't accept CASH"?  He said it is policy.  Well, anyway after a lot of persuasion he took our $$$$$. 

Great move, by the way, managed to get the players to sign the guide by their pictures/bios.

A great day, and would have been better had it not been quite so hot, and they offered water on the field.

Haven't you seen those Debit Card commercials?

I've seen all of the debit and credit card commercials.  It just blew my mind that good old U.S. currency wasn't going to be accepted.  BUT.....I have to give it to my hubby, no one is as tenacious as he is when it comes to getting his way.  LOL

Mama,

Thanx for the heads up regarding the Media Guide, got mine on the way out ... along with that MUCH needed Coke  ;D

This may be a very stupid question...

There were only about 75 marked seats in the entire stadium. I know we have more than that left. How come all of the seats weren't marked?

Family and I had a great time!  My son got a ball signed by all the players.  They were all really great with him.  Still cool to see they are all still humble.  I have been a season ticket holder for 5yrs now.  The biggest thing I have noticed is the caliber of athlete we are recruiting these days.  The size of our average team member has changed drastically.  Not to mention the things that are not visible(strength, speed, etc.)  I could tell they were all ready to get on the field.  I can't wait for Saturday.

Had a blast painting up for fanfest and talking to the alumni.

Good question about seat locations marked ... not sure.

ctbrown24 - This is just a guess on my part, but

19,000 season ticket accounts  x  whatever the number of seats average per account = 75ish.

I think the lower bowl holds somewhere in the 41,000 range.

Average season ticket account must be close to 4-1/4 seats.

GO BULLS!

Did anyone see the ring on Grothe's finger?
