No, it's not a big deal at all. I just don't understand it is all. I'm actually jealous of those laid back people casually strolling into the park in the 2nd inning without a worry on their mind. I'd be in panic mode knowing I missed some of the game. I wish I could chill like that and not be so uptight, but I can't.ghostrunner wrote:Is it such a big deal? I mean, a lot of people view a baseball game as they do a trip to Disneyland. It's a fun event to attend with a lot of spectacle and distractions. It's just entertainment for some. I don't see anything wrong with it. Just because you paid to see a baseball game doesn't mean that's what other people paid for. I'll watch the game, and if my wife wants to go do something else for a little while, I'm not going to hold it against her.
It'd be great if all those tickets went to hardcore fans. But hardcore fans of any entertainment are a small minority. Casual fans keep entertainment businesses afloat.
Having said that, the kid with the DVD player is taking things too far. At least the other stuff is part of the ballpark experience.
It's just a fun rant. As long as you aren't using foul language and spilling your beer on me, there is no wrong way to enjoy a day at the park.
