Day 3 of our mini trip to Cincinnati had us in the stands watching the Reds beat the Dodgers!! This was our second game this year, and we saw a win both times! Yippee!!!!!! It was a pleasant evening; one that was a great day in the ballpark! We were fortunate enough to find a parking place in a parking garage right next to the stadium. Again, we had great seats! The crowd was sparse, but the thrill of America's favorite pastime was in the air!!! The smell of the hot dogs, popcorn, and the sound of the bat certainly got us in the mood to watch the game. Needless to say - the Reds have not been playing the beat, while the Dodgers are right up there at the top of their division!!!!! We were there to hopefully see the Reds win, but we were also there to enjoy the atmosphere and each other! We had a great time and wish all we love will some day be able to enjoy mini vacations as we have.
I have again chosen just "some" of the pictures taken on August 28, 2009 - Reds vs Dodgers!
The steamboat out behind center field!
The standings out on the wall in right field.
A view from our seats!!!! Yes that's behind home plate - up in the "Club" level.
We decided to try a different menu tonight - chicken stir-fry! Mmmmmm, good!
. . . also some nachos with cheese and chili . . .
I had the stir-fry . . .
. . . and enjoyed it . . .
. . . looking for Marty and Cowboy - the Reds' announcers!!!
. . . another shot from our seats . . .
Homer Bailey pitched well that night for the Reds!
. . . Manny was boooooed every time he came to the plate - hmmmm, wonder why??????
When leaving the stadium, I caught what I think are some nice shots of the outside of the stadium . . . left field lights and a poster on the huge billboard . . .
. . . I zoomed in capturing the seats across the way in right field . . .
. . . looking back toward the city of Cincinnati . . .
. . .the lights behind home plate!!!!
We both love going to the games - win or lose - the atmosphere in the ballpark makes it enjoyable!! Of course if your team wins, it makes the game that much better!!!!!
. . . and Bill opted to have a brauts with sauerkraut too!!!!!
