1:04
historic day inviting you to join

1:12
beach
1:13
96.7 radio when i saw this clock oh yeah

1:43
had to we got to win because we're going
1:45
to let brady take all of it we're taking
1:46
the i like it
1:47
we're not going to let brady get all of
1:49
them i love it for tampa bay
1:51
i like the pogba right i like it i agree
1:53
with you
1:59
we will all end up in vegas
1:59
that's where the lighting nice to meet
2:00
you and you can see the name of the
2:02
field right up there tropicana feel they
2:04
did get a little distracted that
2:05
gentleman was watching us do the whole
2:07
intro
2:08
pulled up and i did i forgot to say the
2:09
prospect's name
2:11
wander franco will be
2:14
and maybe he'll be in batting practice
2:16
yeah it'd be neat if he got his first
2:17
hit
2:18
first home run first double first triple
2:21
that would also be very
2:22
very neat to happen right inside the
2:24
walls of the trop and
2:26
it's forecasted terrain a little bit
2:27
later but it doesn't matter
2:29
because this is a dome it's fully
2:31
enclosed
2:32
so it doesn't matter rain or shine the
2:34
game goes on there are no rain delays
2:36
here
2:36
there is a walk of fame here with
2:38
handprints
2:40
from players as the recording of this is
2:41
tuesday june
2:43
22nd 2021 and this will
2:46
be a series that i will do over time it
2:49
will not be
2:50
in consecutive days it'll be over you
2:52
know the rest of
2:54
my tenure here on this platform where i
2:56
will be going to a lot of different
2:58
stadiums and showcasing
3:01
not just the games well very little
3:03
gameplay because
3:04
that is frowned upon but you can show
3:06
food you can't show
3:08
the outfield you can't show batting
3:09
practice
3:11
and where our seats will be we can show
3:13
as well
3:14
you can show me you can check i could
3:16
just i can document the
3:18
experience but this is also kind of a
3:20
test to see
3:21
how much i am allowed to put online
3:25
without showing too much gameplay it is
3:27
5 22
3:28
8 minutes before the doors open and we
3:30
have opted to walk around
3:32
to gate five even though we parked on
3:33
the other side tropicana field
3:36
decided to walk over to this side seemed
3:37
like the line was just a little bit
3:39
shorter to get in for batting practice
3:40
odds of me catching anything in this
3:42
slim tonight i believe the seats we have
3:44
are actually behind netting
3:45
so won't make much of a difference
3:46
except during batting practice this was
3:48
a brief overview of the ale standings
3:50
you can see
3:52
this red sox and the rays are pretty
3:54
much neck and neck
3:55
only a half game difference from the
3:57
lead in the ale so that kind of adds to
3:59
the excitement as well
4:01
says raise up hey guys how's it going
4:04
oh i got to have my ticket that might
4:06
help this is where i scan it
4:08
we need a ticket barcode
4:12
okay we got even sections but i'm a
4:14
little odd so so
4:16
the number on okay i thought it meant
4:17
that i'm a little off i should go over
4:20
there
4:20
oh we got home plate down there we got
4:22
some of the murals along the wall and
4:23
the section numbers
4:25
all along through here oh it's home
4:26
plate right over here yeah at 102.
4:28
okay so that's so home plates there and
4:30
you go this way and you can see
4:32
home plate right through here and
4:33
batting practice is under what
4:35
they just hit one there yes there's
4:37
quite a few people out here waiting for
4:38
a
4:39
home run ball from batting practice oh
4:42
they got him one he got one got to
4:43
bounce up now looking over onto gate one
4:46
that is where the store is and here is
4:48
an escalator going up and down we could
4:49
have gone in that way actually parked on
4:51
that side
4:51
but there is the store there is the
4:53
entryway and got dj
4:55
kitty down there got the tampa bay cap
4:57
on backwards
4:58
dj kitty saying hello to everyone and
5:01
here is a dolphin
5:02
i think they did this on porpoise by
5:04
putting the the raised cap on top they
5:06
did that on
5:07
cliffy did that on porpoise they did
5:09
that on purpose
5:10
and then you go out you can do the touch
5:12
experience with the
5:14
the stingrays you can go out into the
5:16
touch experience once closed for a while
5:17
the touch experience is back
5:19
right here and kind of kind of sort of
5:21
in close to center field
5:23
you have all the stingrays here and
5:25
there's a net over
5:26
the stingray because you don't want a
5:27
foul ball to hit the to hit the
5:29
stingrays in the noggin that would not
5:31
be good
5:31
they'd probably throw it back maybe walk
5:34
down to the entrance of gate one
5:35
tropicana field
5:37
