I went to the last night game at the Vet (it was a Friday game vs the Braves) I was in the left field nosebleed seats. What amazed me (being used to the...cozy...confines of Fenway Park) was just how huge the stadium seemed. It wasn't a great ballpark (in terms of view and size), but it wasn't awful.

What I most remember:

1) Phillies fans boo EVERYONE. Not just the opposing teams. Their own team. The umpires. Any celebrities that happen to be in the stadium. Everyone.

2) Having said that, Phillies fans are a damn knowledgable bunch. Especially about their own team. Without talking to anyone, I got a pretty decent edumacation about National League baseball.

3) Bad food. Fenway Park has spoiled me for any other stadium food, I guess. But your hotdogs, as plump and red as they were, tasted AWFUL!!! And there wasn't much of a selection at that. Of course, I missed out on...

4) Funnel Cake. Buy it early. Buy it often. It sells out quickly, as I discovered.

I had a great time at the game. And the new stadium looks pretty good. I'm planning on making a return trip soon...
