On Thursday, I went to my first game at Citizens Bank Park in two years. Usually, I like to get two or three games a season, but with kids in travel sports and dance and work, going there has become more difficult. However, finally making it back, I was struck by how well that stadium has done in the twenty plus years of its existence. I went to the first exhibition game there and will never forget walking up and seeing the green grass and being shocked at the difference between that and the turf of Veterans Stadium.
However, the Vet still holds a special place in my heart.
