[ice grillin you]

yeah there isnt a section of the stadium that doesnt have a standing room area....only thing is if you want something in the infield you have to go in a little early otherwise you might be stuck out in ashburn alley

last night i ordered spring training tickets (also SRO)....will be my first time down at the new complex there....cant wait

I think it depends on the game.  Last year I was at the Saturday game where they were the road team vs Toronto and I was able to find spots on the concourse behind home plate where I could stand and watch without being bothered or asked for tickets.

[ice grillin you]

did you go in relatively early?...it would be almost unheard of to get right behind homeplate if you came in the stadium shortly before first pitch...also im talking about getting a counter spot...not just randomly standing on the concourse

and you would never be asked for tickets or bothered if you are SRO'ing it on the concourse...thats the whole point with standing room....you can stand anywhere theres room

There are counter spots all around the stadium, not just behind home plate...although that is the best place for standing room. I stood on the cement attached to the pole behind homeplate when Howard launched his 50th. The nice thing about standing room is if the game is a blow out or if you need a break you can run over to McFaddens.

IGY...  I'll be there on St Pattys Day.

yeah thats what i was talking about...i dont even count it as standing room if you dont get a counter...behind the counters is the concourse not SR as far as im concerned

because if the counters are filled and you have to watch the game thru or over people who are at the counters then you might as well watch the game on a tv out in the concourse

IGY...  I'll be there on St Pattys Day.

did you get a real seat?

[Rome]

Got 4, actually.   Out by the tiki bar in left field.  Honestly, I don't spend a lot of time sitting.  I'm usually at the bar drinking my face off, which I expect you'll be doing as well.

Get there early, though, so you can get a seat at the bar.

I have photos at home but here's a random shot from the net.  You're looking from the opposite side of the bar towards home plate:

[ice grillin you]

i wont get a seat at the bar because im gonna walk around the whole park for a while as ive never been and wanna take it all in...id also like to watch the first few innings since presumably one of the starters will be going...but ill definitely be up at the tiki at some point...are the drinks outrageous there like they would be at any ballpark or are the prices lower than that because its spring training

do get a hotel in clearwater or does someone you go with drive your drunk ass home

[SunMo]

they are called drinkrails, not counters you heathens
