This weekend my wife and I were invited on a spur of the moment trip to Dodger Stadium. Friends of ours were given tickets to the game, and invited us along for the ride. Now, normally, I am not a fan of the LA Dodgers. Actually, I'm not much of a fan of baseball at all. If the game is on television, and the family is already watching, I'll usually stick around for the end. That is, if it's a Giants game.
This was my first time at a Major League ballgame. I really got spoiled.
Our seats were in Section 1, right behind home plate, and about 15 rows up. I used to think that Baseball was boring and slow. Now I just think it's kinda slow. Even though tv can make everything look bigger, it does nothing for capturing the feeling that being at a game gives you. I would venture that almost anything is a little more exciting when there are 52,000 people there with you.
Now, I'll never be able to go to another ballgame without thinking about how awesome my first trip was.

Yep. You are very much spoiled. Whenever I go to a Dodger game I sit in the least expensive sections usually putting my friends and I in the middle of a group of rowdy Dodger fans. And as loyal fans the Wave usually pops up around the sixth inning and can usually get going pretty good, with one exception: all of the crowd keeps the wave going, but the wave always dies out around section 1, right behind home plate. Sometimes it picks up again and sometimes not, but that's where the wave goes to die because people there are actually watching the baseball game. So yes, you were spoiled. You had great seats. I'm sure you had a great time.
