Tenessee- The Nashville Sounds

 The Nashville Sounds vs Albuquerque Isotopes
Tuesday, July 20, 2010
Me, Cooper and Dante Meade
AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers
Final Isotopes 9, Sound 7
 This is Greer Stadium, which is close to downtown- There have been several attempts since 2000 or so to get the Sounds into a newer stadium, but they haven't been successful.  It was about 96 degrees at game time.  The game was kind of sloppy for AAA level baseball, lots of errors.  We were staying for the night at the Percy Priest COE campground just out of the city.  Got a pin and a ball. 
We were right on the field, but not a great opportunity for foul balls, due to how the stadium was laid out. 

Pretty sure there weren't more than about 2500 at the game!


We were 5 rows back in Section R, but actually it was on the front row.  The players did not want to toss balls into the stands, much to Cooper's frustration!  They wandered for a lot of the game.

Tennessee- The Memphis Redbirds

MEMPHIS REDBIRDS - MEMPHIS TN.
RED BIRDS VS OKC REDHAWKS
AAA AFFILIATE OF THE ST LOUIS CARDINALS
AUTO ZONE STADIUM
SUNDAY, JULY 25TH 6:05 PM
ME, COOPER, AND DANTE MEADE
OUTFIELD BERM SEATS
FINAL: REDBIRDS 7, REDHAWKS 6




Coop, Dante and I headed downtown for this game, while we were in Memphis to visit Deanna at St Jude's.  This is a relatively new downtown metro stadium, and very fan friendly.  Big crowd this night about 5900.  We sat in the outfield berm on purpose, to save money, $6.00 each.  I forgot to get a poster here that I saw that I had been looking for for two years, the one I use to display my hat pins, so we went back the next day to get it-  It's now on the wall, and displayed on my header.  We got the attendant to give Cooper and Dante a ball on that visit!
