BANK ONE BALLPARK - Phoenix, AZ

reds vs diamondbacks - june 20, 2003 - on a day when it was 108 degrees out, i was not surprised that the roof was closed at bank one ballpark upon my arrival. just before the game began, the roof opened to powerful classical music and the pool in right field began to fill with people and we were in business. this oasis in the desert is incredibly family friendly...from the arcade to the carmel apples covered in m&m's. a unique, beautiful and surprisingly comfortable place to experience a game, for sure. plus, i sat on the 3rd row AND got a bob brenly mouse pad. did i mention the pool?
