Wish we still had the Expos, and ultimately our park in downtown Montreal that should have been! Thanks Loria, et.al.! You can find my Expos (yup!)/baseball blog by googling baseball363!

If I didn't already have a vacation planned for the Brewers, I would be going to all the games (except emergencies or illness). Anyway, if the club decided to reserve some seats, I'd be happy to contribute to a general fund of some kind to defray the cost.<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays everyone and Go Nats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-78617297582270487532007-12-07T09:25:00.000-05:002007-12-07T09:25:00.000-05:00Very good coverage of the event.

It was indeed very cold however the hot chocolate went a long way to warm you up and the cookies were not bad either.<BR/>As a worker on the ballpark, it is certainly nice to feel appreciated and this is the first project I've worked on that has done as many things for the workers. While some of the press events were a waste of time for the workers, others were very enjoyable. I'll never forget the rain out of the Topping Out! I really look forward to the preseason game and this is the first I've heard of the Super Bowl party but there are 1000+ people on site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-33157652613572405912007-12-06T12:52:00.000-05:002007-12-06T12:52:00.000-05:00hear ya 223.

The Nats will have some empty seats this season, and I'd rather the FO foot the bill (or simply donate available seats) to the workers. <BR/><BR/>But if there's some other way a white guy from virginia like me can thank the city and the workers for giving me a great place to watch baseball, I'm all for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-17975851118792622032007-12-06T10:08:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:08:00.000-05:00Yes, thank you for the post.

I mentioned a few days ago that I would be happy to donate a couple of tickets for a game from my package for the folks building this great project. I'm not sure how this would work or if there would be any interest, but I'm willing to work with the team. Something along the lines of "give the workers a hand, and a couple of seats."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-82536432584878394702007-12-06T08:48:00.000-05:002007-12-06T08:48:00.000-05:00Good post.

It seems like many of these projects are plagued by budget overruns, time delays and additional political wrangling. We are lucky that this has gone so smoothly.<BR/><BR/>I also think it's great that there seem to have been so many cool opportunities for the construction staff to be recognized and celebrated as a part of building this (soon to be) iconic building in our area. The super bowl party sounds awesome, even if those people will be freezing their asses off outside on a February night!Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928284083910072694noreply@blogger.com
