I didn't have great seats in the 500 level but walked down to the bullpen and the new areas to check out which was as expected, packed. I do like the bullpen but I have to say something about the colour scheme (blue on artificial green grass), just doesn't feel timeless. In person if feels like a bit of a gimmick, maybe because legit ballparks have a timeless ballpark feel and this feels like a padded blue gym mat feel in the OF. The shape of the wall and the design of the stand up zones overlooking - fantastic. Bars were fairly packed, food slightly overpriced but not totally price gouging on everything, though fairly pricey for a family of four I'd imagine. Logistically they seemed to have little lineups at the food places which was a major plus as every stand was opened and you didn't waste your time lining up for food. All in all a good experience. Can't wait to see what they do with the 100 and 200 level next. I'm certain the foul zones and the dugout are going to be pulled in to get fans closer to the game.
