Last night, Dave and I went to the Padres game. Not that we really wanted to see the poor last place Padres play. But some friends invited us, and we figured they'd have some good seats, so we said yes.

But they didn't have good seats.

They had INCREDIBLE seats!!!

Unbelievable seats!!!

You've probably have seen the seats before on TV. . . the ones right behind the plate.
Field level.
They call them "dugout seats."

But, that's not all.

These tickets get you entry into a restaurant. Where you get to see
players practicing in these underground batting cages. Right next to you

when you're eating.

Oh . . . and you can have all that you want to eat --- salads, steak, ribs, pot stickers, stir fry, mashed potatoes . . . AND, you can have all that you want to drink ---
water, soda, iced tea, beer, wine, tequila, vodka, whatever.

FREE.*

THEN, you go down a hall to another area. Where there is more food.

Boar's Head meats, sandwiches, hot dogs roasting, desserts galore --- cakes,
cookies, crepes they make for you to order.
As much as you want.
FREE.*


And of course, private bathrooms you
can use throughout the game.

THEN you head out to your seats. So close you can touch the players (or so it seems).
And the seats are padded. Actual comfortable seats at a ballgame!
And if you haven't had enough to eat or drink yet, you can order something from

the waitress, who brings it to you ---- for FREE.*

* Okay, so not quite FREE.
I mean, it's part of the cost of the tickets.
Which cost $ 325.00.

Each.

Three hundred twenty-five dollars, each!

So, on a beautiful summer night in San Diego,
I got to sit at a ballgame and enjoy a wonderful treat.

Even the fact that I'm on a strict diet didn't keep me from having a great time.

I mean, when else can I go to a ball game and order a shrimp cocktail
and have it delivered to me at my seat.
For FREE.**

(**FREE to me --- thanks to our friends who got tickets from someone
who obviously has lots more money than we have!)
$325.00 each seat.
Incredible.
