Quick Photos from the Bullpen
The somewhat threatening skies held off before gametime tonight and allowed the Bullpen to open its doors for the first time. When I arrived around 6 pm, there was a healthy crowd, and the spirits (emotional and liquid) seemed to be flowing well. I didn't stick around for long, but I did take a few photos.

more importantly, how much does the beer cost?
Jason says: (May 16, 2009 03:31 PM)
Went after the game...er during the 10th inning. I think the beer was the same as in the stadium; $7.50? No full bar, good crowd. Lots of Smith Point types. Good time but mostly a lot of standing around.
Paul says: (May 16, 2009 06:50 PM)
they were $5 when I was there
capjack says: (May 17, 2009 07:27 PM)
Finally life near the stadium! Beers are $5 with live bands, speed gun for pitching, bean bag toss and 2 booths for food - hot dogs/burgers and then one for surfside tacos and margaritas.
Mr.MX says: (May 18, 2009 09:47 PM)
I was at the Bullpen before the game and was happy to see the crowd. I think this proves that people are looking for neighborhood activities... I hope others follow suit and we see a few more bars/restaurants open in the hood.
