Pirates 2011 First Home Stand

Apr 7 - Mike and I went to home opener.  Not much defense led to a loss
Apr 8 - I went to the game myself, used both tickets to get 2 t-shirts and posters.  Stayed until the 12:20 to see the Pirates win in the bottom of the 14th.
Apr 9 - Mike took kids, friends and wife for a total of 6 tickets.
Turned back 4 tickets to close out the series.

I have to travel to Southern LA for work and end up going to the Dodgers Saturday Apr 16.  I end up on the Top Deck with beautiful views of LA from the parking lot and great views of the hills and mountains from the stands.  I do enjoy the score boards as they are small and the additional information is put on the outfield walls in a very undistracting manner.
