Late in the day yesterday, Comcast offered Small Dog Electronics five tickets to their private luxury suite on the EMC level at Fenway Park, for the Red Sox vs KC Royals game. For about thirty seconds Kali (who is a die-hard Orioles fan but has always wanted to see a game at Fenway) and I debated about going, before deciding that we HAD to take advantage of the opportunity. It was almost 4:00, and the game began at 7:05. Fortunately, there was no traffic and we were only a couple of minutes late to the park. As I’ve said before, Fenway is one of my favorite places. It was great to be back.
I always sit in the bleachers, or the grandstands at Fenway. There’s no bad seat (or standing room area) at Fenway. However…. I was blown away by Comcast’s suite. It was like a swank little luxury apartment that just happened to be perched right over Fenway Park. Inside there were leather chairs and couches, a 50” plasma television, a stocked luxury bar and food station area, and floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows. Outside were 6 rows of comfortable seats, again right over the field. It was a chilly night, but you’d never know it due to the outside heaters. There was also a 32” plasma television outside, so we could keep up with replays. A man came around with Hagan-Daaz ice cream bars. Every time the beer in the fridge got low, someone would come in and restock it.
Regarding the game, Jon Lester ended up pitching a historic no-hitter, with the final score 7-0 Sox. A perfect night.
Thanks Comcast! We’d gladly take tickets again… though I’ve already used my turn to go.
