Have a great time at the show! I'm going to a couple music shows this week
and was pondering whether I might try to add this one for free... but I
don't know if they close off the normally free viewing area that they have
for the baseball games.

Thank you. The review in the Chronicle was excellent. We saw them in
Anaheim during the last tour. Perhaps I'm turning into a groupie in my
