Last night I attended a baseball game at the Metrodome.<\/p>\n
I was fine with the noise inside the stadium, which is incredibly loud. I bought food (diet soda, two kosher dogs) before the game and never left my seat. I enjoy baseball<\/strong>, and was able to focus on the action.<\/p>\n When people were playing with beach balls and tossing paper airplanes, I kept my focus on the field. For some reason, it offends me that people would pay to attend a game and then not watch \u2014 or even make it harder for others to watch. Ignoring the people though is better than what one moron did: he proceeded to get into a fight over the silly beach balls.<\/p>\n Watching the game was good, despite the distractions. It’s less annoying to have people act up at a sporting event that during a movie!<\/p>\n What bothered me was leaving.<\/strong> The crush of the crowd, the smell of smoke (lots and lots of smokers), the traffic, and everything else makes me tense and nervous. I would prefer to wait a bit longer and let the crowds pass me by. I don’t mind being one of the last people to leave. I have no desire to be part of the human river.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I attended a baseball game at the Metrodome.
