Just leaving the game and that was the weirdest event I've ever been too. Sat in 242 (left outfield upper deck). Got loud for a few pitches and would be sold out, but creepy quiet most of the time. Definitely feels more like the ws on tv than live. I think it's because of the way people are spread out. Definitely been to louder Tuesday night poorly attended Rangers/Rockies/etc.

Ballpark will instantly be middle of the pack at best as someone who's been to 15+. Concourses are narrow and felt crowded. Would be obnoxious sold out. Bathrooms were poorly designed either small, one way in and out the same way with narrow entries, and for being new, all the women complained about non auto flushing toilets which made sense. Exiting lot b was also one of the weirder things I've seen with how they rotated car lines. Would have been miserable if sold out.

Food was also god awful, but I'll blame that on Covid. Ridiculous they didn't have peanuts/ popcorn/pretzels though anywhere and sold out of all ws gear the night before. Nachos were stale and cold hot dog.

As a whole, glad I got to go to a game this year, but the ballpark lacks character and you can tell was designed to make premium $$$ over everything else. Didn't feel at all like a ws game. Probably won't go to another game until bigger crowds. Tv wins currently.

Who is the MVP for each team so far? What do y'all say?

Rays: Arozarena or Snell if he wins his second start
Dodgers: I'm not sure yet...
After last night, if Dodgers win, I think it goes to Kershaw. 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA. His postseason struggles and the fact that he's one of the greatest lefties to ever play the game, will make him a compelling choice. I'd go with Turner if not Kershaw.

I dunno if the Rays can pull it off in must win game 6 and 7, but this makes me smile.

If Dodgers win, at this point, I have to go with Seager as MVP.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Once you realize GLF is a multi-use facility and NOT a baseball Ballpark, your lowered expectations for a baseball experience aligns. Having said that... not having baseball in-person all season has made the opportunity of in-person baseball a great experience.
This a great summary. The presentation of it being a Rays home game was fine. I just didnt have the correct expectations that you mention here for the brand new park, and COVID is weird.

I'm not sure if the baseball gods pay attention to what goes on in football stadiums, We can only hope this action goads them to doing the vindictive and merciless action of ripping the hearts out effin' Dodger fans one more time.

The inside looks gorgeous on tv.

How are site lines?

Honestly, i DGAF about the concourse size or bathroom when I'm rating a ballpark.

What did your husband think about the park overall?

The sand explosion on every line drive to the outfield is annoying.

Snell is getting the start tonight. This might go to a game 7!

What does the dodger pitcher have on his right sleeve and on his pants?

It's strange that he always has that orangish yellow stain there... I assume that's what you're talking about. Maybe he's cheating like that pitcher in Major League!

Why pull Snell there? It wasn't a hard hit single.

Man, that seems like a quick leash on Snell. 5.1, 2 hits, 0 runs (responsible for man on base). Guess it worked out against the Astros....

Rays fans will crucify Kevin Cash for this. And rightfully so.

I'm always scratching my head at these pitching changes. Your ace has taken you this far with the lead.

This is on Cash.

That was quick. Never pull a starter that is cruising with A+ stuff in the playoffs. Terrible, just terrible

Snell was lights out, just gave up a single.

Just stupid.

If I'm Snell, I'm super pissed.

And Turner just missed one.

3 things we learned during ALCS

Snell is usually lights out for 5-6 innings max.

He thinks he can go 7-8 innings. Cash knows better.

Muzzino is not a good defensive catcher.

I cannot stand when managers have a plan already in mind, and then seemingly ignore the game flow.
