Spring Break

Needless to say, i'm looking forward to spring break. However, i'm not just excited for the week off of from classes and i'm not going anywhere sunny and warm. What could possibly have me so excited about spring break then? I managed to get tickets to brewers opening day last saturday morning. Hell Yeah. I've never been to an opening day before as you may remember if you read one of my first posts and when i saw that this years game was on the monday during spring break, i knew it was destiny. It didn't come without its obstacles though. On the day before tickets were going on sale, i saw this press release on the brewers website. There would only be about 2000 tickets released for opening day, most of those being standing room only tickets. Naturally my expectations for actually getting tickets took a hit but my friend nick and i would not let it deter us from trying. So saturday morning we were both online trying to get tickets and calling the brewers at the same time. Nick finally got through and we were able to get standing room only tickets. Having an actual seat would be nice, but i figure just being in the park will be more than adequate. Hopefully we'll be getting to Miller Park early to do some tailgating and then going inside the stadium early to try and get a good spot to stand. My personal preference would be on the outfield terrace on the fence, where bill hall will be hitting a home run directly to me. I figure my first opening day might as well be the day i catch my first home run ball (i've never had a foul ball either).
