We went to the game on April 30th. It was just the two of us. The kids got to stay with Ma Ma and Pa Pa. We had lots of fun even though it stormed at the game and the tornado sirens went off. At this game they were handing out "sluggies" instead of "snuggies". We got to the game at 5:30pm or so and there were long lines to get them. I'm glad we got there when we did. I'm not sure how many they handed out. We didn't get thru the gates till a little after 6pm. The game started at 7:15.
At the beginning of the game it was cloudy and very muggy. When the storm front rolled in the weather shifted and a cold breeze came thru. It was interesting to feel and watch the difference in the ballpark. The change began at the bottom of the 4th inning.
By the top of the 6th inning it was poring down and there was a pretty light show. The lightning was incredible. The thunder was very loud too. The tornado sirens were going too but it was hard to hear. We were under the tier so we didn't get wet. We did buy ponchos at Target before we got there since we didn't know if we were going to be covered or not. Once the rain calmed down and the sirens weren't still going we left. The game resumed sometime later but we didn't stick around to watch it. We honestly thought it wasn't going to happen.
We used Priceline for the first time and got a room at the Hyatt for a great price. It was nice to just walk a few blocks to end the night. We will definitely use Priceline again.
