I was there in 2003 with g-fafif when we were briefly work colleagues and held a conference in Houston. The company at that time was owned by the same guy who owned the Astros.
Game seats were in the picnic area in center field, overlooking home bullpen to the left and field in front, pretty sweet. I remember being sort of embarrassed by having to walk from the hotel to the stadium with a sign directing conference attendees to follow me and I ditched the sign and the group at first opportunity. There was another CPF poster at that game whose I can't remember, used to be really active and I said hi to him. Rotblatt, I think.
Wagner was pitching for the Astros and iirc, had a disastrous 9th inning to blow it. It was a big game for them, and a big choke for him. I recall it was all sponsored by Budwesier which at the time was pushing its Michelob Bock beer which probably doesnt exist anymore, but a I had a few bottles of that.
I got laid off like a month later, but the new job I started recently reunited me with the part of the company that made me hold the humiliating sign, which the Astros owner eventually sold.
In summary, I can't tell you anything
