What’s new at Hadlock Field

The Sea Dogs’ staff have been busy during the off season, making improvements to the ballpark with their air tools, behind the scenes in ticketing, creating new and improved concessions, and more. You can read the whole story HERE.

So far, I’ve only experienced the new ticketing system, and I must say that I like it. I am very picky about having seats on the aisle, and it seemed that the Sea Dogs were the last holdout when it came to letting fans select their seats from the website. Before, if you ordered online, you had to take what they gave you.

And I like being able to print out the tickets at home. I hate waiting in lines, or worrying about the Evil Post Office losing my mail, or stealing it. I have our tickets now, all over and done with.

But here’s something that made me go *uuummmm?*

Female Restrooms- All female restroom facilities in the concourse have been painted to provide a softer home like feel.

I swear on all that is holy, if they painted them PINK, I might go ballistic on someone. I’m tired of all of this girly-pink female baseball crap as it is. I read someplace that in most homes, it’s the women who decorate, including the bathrooms, and they often make the bathrooms frilly and pink. So, if that is the Sea Dogs’ idea of “home-like”, I think I shall puke in one of their home-like pink commodes…I guess it’s unladylike to call them toilets.

Here’s the deal: I go to the ballpark. I sit and watch the game and drink beer. Then I have to get up and take a leak. That’s what beer-drinking does to you. As long as there’s working toilets, sinks, paper products, and soap, and it’s reasonably clean, I don’t give a rat’s posterior what color it is, or what it looks like.

Well, I’ll find out about this soon enough, when we go there next month.

P.S.  My bathroom at home is not, has never been, and never will be PINK.  And I’m the one who picked out the shower curtain and rugs and all that are in it.
