Spring Training 2023 - Day 19

Our first baseball game today. The Detroit Tigers.

It is good to be back.  Our seats are in the 2nd level.  This is the reserved seating and suite access.  The tickets cost more but are worth it.  You have dedicated bathrooms and concession stand and entry to the area is restricted to ticket holders.  The staff remembered us from past years and were glad to see that we were able to return.  There are also spring training ticket holder friends here that we have known since we first started seating up here.

We changed our seats this year.  We have moved to the disabled section at the far end of the section down the first base line.  Judy can sit in her walker and there is an accompanying. stadium seat.  There is more room and there are no steps to get up and move around the area.  This will work out better for us this year.

As the Phillies won the National League Championship last year, the Phillies have setup a tent on the right field walkway with the league trophy inside. Attendees can lineup and have their picture taken by a staff member with the trophy.  Of course, we had to do that.

A number of Phillies players will be leaving spring training to play for the USA team as well as several other international teams in the World Baseball Classic. We will only see some of them in the first few games and then towards the end, depending how the USA team does in the tournament. Alas, the Phillies lost today.

After the game we went out to dinner at Cody's Roadhouse, another favorite, peanut-shells-on-the-floor casual restaurant close to our RV park.
