Me too. That said, I'm gonna be standing Friday. Then Saturday I head to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 12 days. Gonna be an honorary colonel by cracky.

I love the 400s for regular games when I want to relax with six rows to myself. No problem with the views. But being up there in a crowd sucks, imo, so I'd rather have SRO tickets for the postseason.

We were in the 400s for the WS, and they were good seats.

Not when you are afraid of heights, which is the case with me.

Found out today Mark and I are in for the Cleveland series. Thank you, Gordon. I will be traveling 10/13-28, and Mark is out of PTO so this series may be it for us.

Wouldn't you be better served sitting than standing then?

I didn't have you pegged as a Civil War reenactment enthusiast but I guess I really don't know you all that well.

I don't mind the 400s when your seats are inside the bases. And your not in the middle of a row with a huge behemoth on both flanks. Like that one time I went to a playoff game by myself in 04, I'm talking NFL offensive lineman size. Not only was I feeling like a sheet of paper between two bricks but it fucked with my head too. I was distracted by the thought of two people that size in a stadium full of regular sized people would find seats on opposite sides of me. Had I angered the Gods? Anyway, the further out and higher up I get, the view tends to get distorted on certain types of hits.

Don't worry, my brother sold his Bay Area hovel and was able to buy a plantation in Kentucky with the money. I'm driving my mom (83) and dad (87) up there so they can see his new spread. I do intend to buy one of those cheesey fake souvenir Kentucky Colonel certificates though.

Then all you'll need is a briefcase full of uppers and downers and you'll be set for your career in musical act management.

Assuming you don't already have the briefcase.

I’d rather be sitting in the bullpen or mezzanine sections, but those seats weren’t available in the limited sale Friday. I’ve done this before in the playoffs and was able to find a decent spot in the lower concourse to watch the game. Hoping to do so again (or find a spot in the mezzanine concourse), but we’ll see.

Anywhere in the building is a good place to be.

Fam and I sat in 400's last year at WS, Game 5 last year....there was only one row above us and I still enjoyed the seats.

My bro and I are taking our boys and flying in from the ATL on Friday to go to games one and two. 400's again for us on Friday but my bro talked me into dugout seats on Saturday. Saturday ticket cost is going to sting for awhile, but he and I hoping to make some special memories with our boys so we said the hell with it.

Go Stros!

Since I was able to find two in the mezzanine at a reasonable price on Stubhub just now, I’m willing to sell my two SRO tickets to anyone here that wants them. I paid $119 for the pair; so I’m looking for that for both, or $60 per ticket. I can transfer them through the Ballpark app, too. PM me if interested.
