Some 500-Level Pics

by mark w on Apr 23, 2007 8:27 AM EDT in Toronto Blue Jays News

Most game photos are taken from close range with high-quality cameras that fully capture the experience of being at the game. Well, almost fully, that is. In order to illustrate what's it's like up top, in the 500 level at the Rogers Centre, I've posted some pictures taken by one of my friends from the Friday, April 13 game vs. the Tigers. The quality isn't the best, and, since they were taken from so far away, you can barely make out some of the players. But for those who've never attended a game there, they'll act as sneak peaks of what the experience is like.

The rest of the pics can be accessed by clicking "read more." By the way, the first pic is of a chili race. I think the green one wound up winning.

I generally

toss out my 500-level pictures. They quality is just so bad. I'm just too cheap to get really good seats.

For sure

I almost never take pics from the 500 level. But I actually don't mind sitting up there too much, since I'm there for the atmosphere (and just for a night downtown) more than anything.

I used to sneak down when I was younger (the 200-level and the cheap 100-level seats were easy to get into). Lately I've relied on mooching good tickets off friends with connections. Maybe I'll actually start paying for good seats once I'm done school and enter the workforce, haha.

I've never

been able to justify springing for the expensive seats. the atmosphere is not as good, and the view of the game isn't that much better if you know your cheap seats. I'm a bit of an east-coast cheap seat expert, so if you are planning on attending any games anywhere down the coast, I can possibly help you get started on where to look.

nice pics, mark!
