Surely - biggest difference in going to the lots than RFK is just taking the Navy Yard exit, and it's a bit odd to see the sign once you get off I-395 pointing away from the stadium, but it just loops around and there are a couple of lots over that direction.

Plus, there's a Five Guys and a Subway over there for the short walk.

How about if I'm coming from Maryland (Silver Spring)? I'll need to have a pay cash lot.

Salty, for one person I'd just do metro.

I'm in 315 Row H Seats 1 and 2.

Went to Stub Hub and got them for less than normal (even after 10% commission and 4.95 to electronically send them to me.)

Not bad.

If anybody needs a ticket, I have an extra Section 102 Row L. First row behind visiting team bullpen.

Meet me at the Red Hot & Blue, Boardwalk Fries area to get your access tickets. I will be there from 5:30 til about 5:45. After which, Mathguy & 2IPAs will be there with the tickets, holding a bloggers' night sign, until 6ish.

I finally made it to Springfield, VA about 15 minutes ago. The weather here absolutely sucks. Hopefully it disappears before this evening.

I think the rain will taper off from what I've seen on Channel 7.

Keeping my fingers crossed. The Blogger Night event isn't effected by the rain or if they cancel the game the whole thing goes in the toilet?

I'll be wearing my "I PLEDGE" T-SHIRT and P-NATS windbreaker.

I may run late though....

MrMadison · « **Reply #85 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:26:36 pm »

I'm not going to make it, unfortunately.

I sent you an email, Kim.

feel free to give my access tickets to someone else if they ask.

Don't run late or you'll miss Collin Balester. He has to rejoin the team, can't linger around. In fact, there's going to be very little time since they won't let us in until 6:00 pm, vs.the original plan of 5:30.

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #87 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:32:22 pm »

I know, but I'm meeting up with a friend who's boss didn't schedule her hours right. I have her ticket to get into the game and the Bloggers night!

. She asked a coworker to show up early to cover her last hour at work (she was scheduled till 5pm).

I'm leaving Herndon at 3:30. My friend is leaving work near gaithersburg at 4:00. We're both taking Metro.

Ditto on the shirt for me!

Now Calsgr8, stop making excuses for poor performance.

You're going to be the oldest, uh, er, longest tenured poster in attendance, and as such you are an almost celebrity. DCNATS99 couldn't make it, so you're the senior ranking member, followed a few minutes later by MrMadison.

Is Red Hot & Blue in the rightfield concourse?

No. Entering center field entrance, go right towards the left field foul pole, and you'll see it (Red Hot and Blue)over to the right.

If we're lucky, Kim will be wearing her WNFF T-Shirt in shockingly bright red. Kim?

OLDEST?!! Good thing you changed that considering You just had a Birthday! You're now older than I am!

I'll do my best. Unless there are "circumstances beyond my control", I PLAN to be there!

By the way, I tried to change the site name to WNFF.net at the bottom of my I PLEDGE T-SHIRT in silver sharpie. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped! Oh well!

Near Noah's pretzels?

Yes, but Kim should be out away from the stands a bit, not actually standing in line (on-line for Dave B). Although those Curly-W pretzels are pretty damn good.

Thanks. The pretzels are great.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, pretzels (drool)...

kimnat · « **Reply #97 on:** August 29, 2008, 02:09:41 pm »

And yes, I'll be in that bright red shirt with the I Pledge to: with a baseball on the front. 3rd base side of the centerfield concourse entrance. I'm trying to send an email to all of you, only aol is giving me a little grief, so bear with me.

nm - email finally went. Check your inboxes.

He's just hoping you'll leave him at home while you go to the game, so he can invite just a "few" friends by for the malted beverage of their choice. Guarantee he starts to feel better just about 4 oclock.
