Baseball Season is Here







I love baseball. I love watching the game; sitting in the stands or out on a blanket. To me it does not get much better. Last night I went to my first game a Mississippi State and quickly fell in love. The atmosphere is amazing. But the coolest thing is the Left Field Lounge.
It started in the 1960's in which people would drive their cars up and grill out then after the game leave. However one night a truck would not start so it was left there and ended up "reserving" the owner a spot for the next game. Well now when you look in the outfield you see old mail and milk trucks with bleachers on top of them, old bus seats on risers to create stadium seating, and other odd but cool ways people set up their area. It is so popular there is a waiting list to get a spot in the outfield.

Here also is a picture of what some of the vehicles look like parked in the Left Field Lounge.
