For Kevin's birthday, I secretly ordered some Mets tix (yes, unfortunate that they currently have no team and suck beyond all belief), but back in May there was no reason not to be hopeful. Since this was a birthday gift, I had saved my pennies and purchased the best possible seats I could afford (and smartly, picked a value game which are the cheapest of all).



I ended up with tix for last Wednesday. We were in the Sterling Delta Club section 11 row 17. That was 17 rows from the field!! Just to the right of homeplate. (If you go here, click the center box on the little version to zoom in, place your cursor in the orange box above the 11 and click, you'll see what our view was like.) It was the best seat either of us has ever had at a Mets game. And those seats... those seats are fully padded and cushioned!! And!! AND!! There was wait service!!!! Someone would come over and take our order and then bring us our food and beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were living the good life for about 4 hours.



We got to see Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling up close doing their pre-game reports. Kevin Burkhardt walked by us 4 times and finally on the last time, we got up the nerve to say hi. Well, Kevin yelled "hey Kevin" and I just smiled and waved like a silly fan girl.



The game itself wasn't much to speak of since they lost. But it was really fun to sit so close and pretend that we were the type of people who normally watch the game in luxury. Of course now, we have the hard decision of in the future do we go to many games in the nose-bleeds or do we just go to one game in the nice seats?



And yes, I'm still kicking myself for forgetting to bring my camera!!!!!
