On Saturday, Media Goon hooked me up with some dugout seats, and I was able to get into the Champions Club.
I visited the first base side, and after the game I realized I should have gone in the one on the third base side as well
…but sometimes I wanna watch the game and not worry about the blog.
Anyways….here are some photos after the jump.

The more I see these things, the more it seems like they are trying to turn sporting events into an afterthought compared to the clubs.
Impressive yes, but I am paying to see a baseball game!
Wow, have to love the obstructed veiw out the window…lol
formerdirtdart …. i was thinking the same thing. i never liked the idea of the champions club location. lets take the best seats in the house and make it suits … plus it looks crappy on TV.
Shannon, did you partake in the “Chefs Table Experience”? Sounds like crappy punk rock band.
@randy. I did not eat in the champions club. Seemed like a nice place to grab a meal during a two hour rain delay, but if I wanted to sit down for food I would go to Friendly’s and then go home and watch the game on my big screen TV. I’m not anti clubs, but they do nothing for me.
@Shannon Amen brother. Not to mention you can save a ton of cash. It’s like football. I’m sure the Giants have a nice new stadium but it can’t compare to my “executive suite” a.k.a. my living room.
I checked out the Acela Club on Opening Day now that it’s open to ALL club members and semi-affordable. I’m thinking it might b e real fun to watch a pregame there. eat while watching the guys shag flies and take BP? I’m going to suggest it to my best man, who supposedly is planning me a party.
btw, I love that the Champions Club put in windows to the bar there that you can see from the field level concourse behind home plate. Makes the area seem more open.
I went to the hotel bar, and a baseball game broke out!
Might not be the best idea to highlight you only have 2 chanpionships (which I am grateful for) in 49 years.
@jesse 2 championships. It is what it is. Why hide from it? Embrace history even if the history includes a mule and June 15, 1977. I dug that photo collection I put together the other day. It was my version of the story. I was surprised nobody nitpicked “why didn’t you include xx”
Baseball isn’t a game of pickup basketball where first to 100 championships is the best.
@Ceetar
Tell that to Yankees “fans”
so that’s where they put all the good pictures.
