TW: First time I’ve been to Rickwood since it was restored. This place is awesome.

It’s maybe half full in here at the top of the 2nd because event planning messed up parking so badly. (It sold out)

The outfield wall ads are current companies but designed to look vintage. Cool touch.

Build Submarines?

Go Navy

The Chevy ad is awesome

Easily the best. I like the old school Budweiser too.

Looks like they got rid of one of the good ones on the wall.

yeah but you can find that phrase/logo elsewhere here. It’s a whole marketing thing now.

I miss the old Hupmobile ad tbh

so that's concerning for tomorrow and thursday. how'd they screw it up?

It was Insane. I’ll say this, there was a little restaurant a block from Rickwood called Mama’Nem and they were doing some limited parking and it looked like it’d be watched. I’d risk if I were going to the main game. Or get to Legion super early. bsky.app/profile/twes...

For Rickwood, you have to park at Legion Field and they bus you over. They have one gate open at legion and one hired event staffer directing input. No cops, no mlb people. That was an utterly laughable nightmare.

I posted two hours early for the game in ‘96. If I had tickets for Thursday I’d be at Mama’Nem asking if I can get my lunch and just leave it there all day for a generous fee

Mama’Nem is not to be confused with Yo Mamma’s btw

Yes, different places lol

The stands in Right Field is where I first successfully heckled a baseball player enough to get him to flip me off.

I know you said parking was a mess, buy this looks really cool. I hope you have a blast.

Once you get here it’s awesome.

That looks cool as hell. Was sad to hear that Willie Mays wasn't able to make it.

Goddammit.

Outstanding !

That is gorgeous. How’s the weather? Looks like there’s some cloud cover at least

Overcast and warm, no rain expected.

Jealous.

Cool!!!!
