A BAD SEAT IN THE HOUSE


The NEW Busch Stadium will mesmerize you with many of its views. But not the one from our season ticket seats. Front Office acknowledges "an issue" with ALL of the first row seats in Sections 237 - 240 and are "getting back" to us about a solution. That black wall in front of us is the back of the long horizontal electronic scoreboard down the lst base line. Click on picture for larger view. Picture is taken from normal sitting position...no attempt to exaggerate, I didn't need to. It's really that tall, that solid and that very close. Makes you ask yourself, "How could they have...uh, don't they have computer models?" If I lean forward to see, fans in Row 2 get a similar view of my head. Cards also claim "a cup holder for every seat." un uh. Already lost one of those $8 beers! Grumbling measured at 100% among the Cardinal faithful up here in Row 1.
UPDATE: The cards just emailed to say they are cutting off the top of the rail and lowering it 3" around the entire stadium second level by May 8th. That's a good start.

Google to provide free WiFi to San Francisco

Yep. The entire city of San Francisco is getting FREE WiFi internet service from Google/Earthlink partnership. Can we be far behind? What's in it for Google? Answer. My recommendation, buy Google, even at $400/share. It will rule the internet for a loooooong time.
