Now I know what it’s like to watch a baseball game like P. Diddy. Or at least, what I imagine it’s like to watch a game like P. Diddy.
As “season ticket” holders for the Nats (I use quotes because we have a 21-game plan, not the full season) we have a bunch of perks, including rewards points. Last night my brother and I redeemed all of our points for two seats in the amazingly posh club section behind home plate.
The view of the game was pretty amazing, as were the fresh baked cookies and buffet stations inside the club area itself. Even the sky above our seats was picturesque.
