Eric and I along with our friend Ben headed up to Baltimore, Maryland today as the Detroit Tigers were in town for a 4 game series. We were excited to see Camden Yards from the inside as we usually only see it from the outside when we are up in the city. I was also very excited about seeing my Tigers. :)
We got up there early and got some sweet parking, then headed about to find a late lunch. We ended up eating at the Diamond Bar which is in the Hilton right across the street. We enjoyed a very delicious lunch along with this great view of the park.
We eventually headed back across the street and then inside to look around and find our seats.
After a stop to watch batting practice from what i nicknamed flyball alley we headed on to find our seats.
This is a view from the standing only area (aka flyball alley).
We eventually made it to our seats and were awe struck by the awesomeness that was to be our seats. We were in the front row right along the 3rd baseline. It was AWESOME!!!
Pre game:
During the game...this is our view towards home plate:
We had a great view of the Tigers Pitchers doing their warm-ups.
Joel Zumaya tossed us a ball during warm-ups and Ryan Perry came by and autographed it for me (and stopped for a quick photo op ;) ).
Towards the 7th inning we got a drink and of course I had to play with the camera settings. This is a view of the warehouse that appears attached to the stadium but is actually about 20 feet or so from the stadium. It is connected by a bridge a few stories up.
We took advantage of the 7th inning stretch for a group photo and to stretch our legs.
We ended up leaving before the start of the 9th but the final ended up being Detroit 6 - Baltimore 3 so here is a picture of the scoreboard with the "final". ;)
While the seats were awesome (location) the seats themselves were NOT big booty friendly. We had an awesome time though and can't wait to get to our next ballpark to see the Tigers play.
Thank you Ben for joining us on this awesome trip. :D

You've now officially seen the Tigers play more than me - 2 times total in my entire life and both were at the OLD Tiger Stadium (which has since been torn down). We hope you guys are doing well and can't wait to read about more of your adventures! Love ya lots, Jodi (and Alan, too!)
