Take me out to the ballgame...

This was supposed to be a post about our wonderful Saturday night at Coors Field, when we watched a game between the Rockies and the Chicago Cubs. But it is not, well it is, sort of, but not really. Let me explain....

A few of our friends and us planned on going down to Coors Field before the game to buy Rockpile tickets, the cheapest, easiest seats to get.

Saturday evening we drive 30 minutes to get downtown, pay $15 for parking, walk 10 blocks to the field, go to the ticket window and Steve asks the ticket guy, "Can we get some rockpile tickets, please?" He gives him a weird look and says, "Are you from Colorado?" The native Coloradoan, Steve, is speechless for a minute and lies, "Nooooo." The ticket guy nods his head, gives us a pitied look and says, "Well that explains a lot, rockpile tickets go on sale 2 1/2 hours before the game and usually sell out within 1/2 hour, especially for games against teams like the Cubs."

We walk away with our heads down low, feeling quite stupid. How could we have not known this? We have all lived here most, if not all our lives and we had no idea they ever even sold out.

After trying to find reasonably priced tickets from scalpers and failing at that as well, we decide to go get some beer. I mean we weren't going to go back home after paying $15 for parking!!

Here we are watching the Rockies game, so much better than being there in person.

Or not.

Matty was enjoying the restaurant, he decided to clean the place with a baby wipe. Have I mentioned his latest obsession... cleaning? He really enjoys picking things off the floor and bringing them to me and cleaning the tables he is sitting at. Not that there is ever dirt on my floors or on my tables.

Here he is cleaning the floor of the restaurant.

Cleaning the chairs, as well.

They really should have given us a discount on our check, I mean Matthew cleaned for them!

Regardless of missing the game, it was a fun night. The good news is, we now know exactly what to do next time we want rockpile tickets; and for those of you who didn't know how to either (all 5 of you), your welcome.
