Exactly... i could buy so much more useful/entertaining stuff with $550... why waste that on tickets to a freakin regular season padres-rockies game? $275 per ticket is friggin nuts.
 
well I just got back from the game and all I can say is WOW....I don't think I've ever consumed so much food in my life. When we got there they invited us to eat in the "400 Club"....they gave us a bunch of choices of what to eat (choices included lobster, salmon, pork, lasagne, etc)...I ended up choosing the lasagne with italian sausage since I'm not much of a seafood person. Had a few margaritas there, and kicked back in the restaraunt where you could view the Padres in batting practice (the batting practice is indoors underground adjacent to the place we were eating). Right before game time we went up to our seats where everyone treats you like a king. The hostess told us there was a buffet we were welcome to eat. In the second inning we went to the buffet where I ate some really tender Beef Tenderloin, some fruit, cheese and crackers, etc. That filled me up for a few innings. The hostess (who comes back every inning or 2) gave us a slip with food that you could order anytime....this included the usual food you'd find in a ballpark, along with a few specialty items. I ended up getting an order of nachos, and then later on a hot dog, 2 hagen dass ice creams, a churro and a snickers bar. I hope my stomach doesn't explode during the night trying to process all the food I consumed. My girlfriend who went with me thought I was crazy since I'm a pretty skinny guy (5'8 about 130lbs).

so yeah, all in all, the game kicked @ss!!! The view was incredible. You could hear the pop of the glove (we were right behind home plate), and you could actually call the pitches with amazing accuracy (strikes or balls). you could also see the curve of a curveball and how crazy a slider looks to a batter.

Of course best of all, it was FREE!
