[Carla Horvatch] found that the game didn’t get in the way of what she came for.

“Especially during the innings, we’re able to socialize,” she said.

It’s a lucky thing for Ms. Horvatch that the game didn’t get in her way. It happens quite frequently at other sports venues.

…thing the first time I saw it.

The people who pay $30 for a seat on one of the Diamond Club’s two levels are the same people who are on the VIP and preferred-customer lists at a variety of Scottsdale nightclubs and magazines.

I nearly choked on laughter after reading the above, though; how could thirty bucks equate to VIP-status?

this was hilarious, its just about ready to print in The Onion.

The last game I went to was at Miller Park. I was given tickets to sit int he Friday’s Section. The area was packed the entire night with no one facing the game, even though it was right behind them.

Scottsdale has a thriving VIP club scene? Who’d’ve known…

Wrigley still is the party capital. There are no special amenities at Wrigley to attract these types. It’s like Ferrous Oxide (rust on iron). It occurs naturally, needs a lot of oxygen and is unstable at all temperatures on the planet.

The club, which has a capacity of 270, has a minimalist feel that LeVine says is in step with the decor at popular Scottsdale clubs: black curtains for a private feel, 10 plasma TVs that air the game, framed photos of players on the brick walls. The bar is set back from the seating area in its own all-white room, glassed at the front so drinkers don’t have to miss a minute of the action – whether it’s on or off the field.

Just go to a freakin’ BAR. Way less expensive.

Well I guess I wont be let in! Bummer.
