Good Grief!

Another follow-up to Good Grief’s original review of Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park (aka Taxpayer Stadium II).

• Hot dog gun: malfunctioned, firing a weiner into right field during the game.
• Seats: still too close together.
• Bathrooms: clean (before the game, anyway); a stadium employee was directing stall traffic, which helped the line move quickly.
• Beer: where is the Hop Devil?
• Harry the K’s (restaurant built into the left field scoreboard): as expensive as we expected, but a fun place to eat dinner and watch the players warm up.

And it’s good to know that Philadelphia hasn’t gotten all hoity toity just because we have a new stadium:

The “Memory Lane” history display (a.k.a. “Nightmare Alley”) is literally within spitting distance of visitors’ bullpen. By game five, it was blocked off.
