OK, before I get started... if you already have plans for Field Day, or are too far to travel, or don't operate contests... yes, I know Field Day is not a contest... or contest-like events, no need to read further or comment, move along, nothing to see here...
With that said:
As many of you know or may have surmised from some of the various posts back-and-forth in a multitude of threads here on the Island the last few months, Paul W1GUH has been planning to visit Pittsburgh on Saturday, June 23rd, to amongst other things take on a Pirates game (interleague, Detroit Tigers will be in town).
This also happens to be Field Day Saturday.
Now the good news is that this is a 4:05 PM game, should be over between 7 & 8. So after the game is over, I'll be taking the family home & then heading out to N3SH Field Day in Allegheny County's South Park for the evening shift. Paul has been invited to join us if he would like.
So: If you have no FD plans, or would like to take in a (hopefully) exciting ball game, or would like to combine both... give the date a little consideration.
If enough of us gather, we can try to meet before the game in one of the food courts to grab a bite, or whatever. We can play that by ear as we get closer to the date. And I'll get directions from the park to the FD site for anyone who needs it.
I don't know where Paul's seat(s) are. We'll be in our usual seats this year, Section 323 Row J, on the 3rd base side. So if you'd like to be in the general vicinity,call 1-800-BUY-BUCS ; ask for Val (she's our account rep) but don't be surprised if you don't get her, she's pretty busy.
( Don't know where the seats are? Seating chart at http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/pit/ticketing/seating_pricing.jsp )
So if this intrigues you, give it some thought. If it doesn't, well, don't worry about it.
