Not so Sweet Suites
By Tangotiger, 05:18 PM
Interesting article on the changing landscape of suites at sports stadiums. My favorite suite experience was at the Olympic Stadium, where the Expos had the ground-level enclosed area behind home plate (you can sit for a dinner while watching the game, or sit in the seats). Nicest guy was Vlad, who while on one-knee in the ondeck circle would turn his head around to let the kids (on camera day) take pictures of him with his big smile. Dude’s about to come to bat in 3 seconds, and he actually thinks about the kids 20 feet behind him before he goes to home plate.
