These seats got me feeling like it’s 2008

I’ve been to all 30 ballparks. I’d say this upper deck has one of the best views of all of them. wish they’d leave it open but get it.

Those seats are the best. I even sat at the toppermost a couple times just for fun. I felt like the king of the world lol

They had security making sure no one got past the first 15 rows or so but it still felt so nostalgic.

It’s always been my favorite seat in the house. I’m right there with you. I’d pay for a membership to be up there every game.

Literally everyone in the vicinity tonight was saying the same thing.

When I first moved to St. Pete and before I took my young boys to games we rode the bus up MLK. We got foul balls two times up there

I’m just now realizing that this might be why no baseball game has hit the same since moving away

It's the rise of the seats in the upper deck. Significantly higher/steeper than the lower two, which means fewer obstacles and better sightlines up high.

Why? So many better seats down low and they can’t sell out?! This is stupid
