9th Annual AZPCA Night Out at the Ballpark
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JAN MACKULAK, SOCIAL MEDIA CHAIR
It had been a few years since we all attended a Diamondbacks game. So, it was no surprise that this year we sold every seat in our 50-person block for AZPCA’s annual event. A record attendance for the 9th Annual Dbacks game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, August 6th!
Many firsts happened at this game besides the record
attendance; e-tickets were issued versus paper tickets at will-call, pre-purchased parking passes via the Park Whiz app made parking a whiz (pun intended), a clear bag policy for all purses is now in effect, group tours no longer happen before gated entry for the public (they do still happen but at noon), and our beloved Four Peaks Brewing Company bar/restaurant was closed for a private event! Did this stop our group from meeting up for beers beforehand? Of course not! We all trickled into the BMW Lounge (used to be the Audi Lounge) on the Club Reserve Level, where our seats were located, and we quickly got a cold one and reunited with many AZPCA and Southern Arizona Region members too. It was soooooo good to see everyone again, in Dbacks and Porsche attire, and especially great since we all scored free Gallen No. 23 T-shirts (note these shirts make excellent car cleaning attire for Phoenix Flight Prep!).
The game itself was fun, many home runs, but in the end, we lost by one run. All in all, everyone had a good time, as we had our annual fill of ballpark beer, popcorn, and peanuts.
