Chapter 115: A Coincidental Encounter with a Giant (10/10(2/2)
"Don't come here. Grandpa, my dad doesn't like baseball. He only likes football." Abel exposed it mercilessly.
Alexander, who is over two meters tall and as strong as a bear, was the captain of the school team in college.
Alex was a little angry, but couldn't resist.
They are all family members, who can be deceived by this kind of thing?
The old man changed the subject, "Humph. Let's not talk about it anymore. Look, the stadium is beautiful, right? The Astros' home stadium just opened this year."
Having arrived at the parking lot, the motorcade did not enter the public parking lot.
Under Alex's guidance, the team drove into the stadium's VIP parking lot.
This parking lot is not large and there are not many cars parked there.
But they are basically luxury cars, because this is a place where only fans who have bought VIP tickets can park and enter.
After parking the car, Abel looked towards the stadium not far away.
The former site of this baseball stadium is Houston Union Station. The architectural design of the stadium cleverly retains the old building of the station and serves as the entrance.
It looks a bit retro, but is surrounded by modern buildings, which is very beautiful.
It's obviously not Alex's first time here. The old man is familiar with the way and leads the way.
As he walked, he said, "This golf course is quite well built. It's much more beautiful and much bigger than our American Stadium."
Abel shrugged, "There's no comparison. American Stadium opened in 1994, when I was only fourteen years old. Now I'm twenty, and this stadium just opened this year."
For things like golf courses, new ones are certainly better than old ones.
What's more, Houston's population, economy, etc. are far larger than Arlington.
Astros Stadium is better and bigger than Ameriquis Stadium, which is normal.
"Okay. What you said makes sense. But I still like American Football Stadium. Hey, I designed its locker room!" Alex said.
Three generations of the Smith family all graduated from Rice University.
Albert University studied fine arts, Alexandria University studied business, and Alex University studied interior design.
It's just that after graduation, Alex and his son went back to inherit the family business honestly.
Grandfather and grandson were chatting while passing through the passage.
They are not the only ones here in the VIP channel.
Seating guests, these guests are wealthy people.
It is said that the price of tonight's game tickets, the most common ticket, has been raised to 80 US dollars a piece.
You know, usually, it only costs $12 a piece.
In the MLB league, the home ticket prices of each team are different.
Generally speaking, prices in the Eastern Division, especially on the East Coast, are a little more expensive.
For example, the tickets for the famous Yankees are usually 15, 25, 150, and 325 yuan.
Here in Houston, it's usually 12, 20, 100, 220.
Now because it is a special derby, scalpers are getting fired.
It is said that the tickets cost 220 US dollars each and cost thousands of dollars.
But these are actually just ordinary football tickets.
There are two ways to get tickets.
One is rich and can buy it directly. The usual price is one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars.
The other is having a relationship, such as having a relationship with the team's top management, such as the team's top management taking the initiative to send you tickets.
As for Alex and Abel, they don’t know whether it is the latter or the former.
If it's the former, it will probably cost a lot of money.
Unless purchased in advance, game tickets are estimated to cost at least five to six thousand US dollars.
VIP tickets are expensive for a reason.
vi p Parking lot, vi p entrance channel, vip seat guide, seats with the best view, vip gifts, free drinks, drinks, snacks, etc.
For wealthy people, this kind of cost can enjoy this kind of superior service.
It really couldn't be better, it can even be said to be the cheapest consumption.
Ten minutes later, Abel was already sitting on the noisy stadium with his grandparents.
After sitting in his seat, Abel judged that Alex's game ticket should not be bought simply with money.
Because their seats are right next to the away team's Rangers dugout.
Not far away on the left is Rangers head coach Anthony who has already entered the venue.
Even if you have money, you probably won't be able to buy this location.
Reminiscing that the Smith family is a minority shareholder of the Rangers, Alex is also a senior baseball fan, and he probably participated in the rebuilding of the Rangers back then.
Being able to sit here is most likely because of this relationship, not just money.
"It's so lively."
After sitting in his seat, Abel, who was watching such a large-scale competition for the first time since his rebirth, couldn't help but sigh.
He looked around and found that all the seats were basically occupied.
Alex just said that this new stadium can accommodate about 41,000 spectators.
If extra seats are provided, 42,000 to 43,000 people can fit in.
In this situation tonight, it is obviously a case of extra seats.
In other words, there are likely to be more than 42,000 spectators at the scene.
In terms of atmosphere, it was naturally packed with people and loud gongs and drums.
In this atmosphere, even Abel couldn't help but feel a little excited.
It is difficult for people who have never been to a large sports competition or a large concert to experience this feeling.
Humans are group animals, and when a group is excited about something together.
That feeling is difficult to describe in words.
The young billionaire was as excited as a child.
But he suddenly saw his grandfather, Alex stood up.
He also saw Alex saying hello to the lower left, where the Rangers' dugout was.
"Hey, Herbert. Good evening. I didn't expect you to come too." Alex said loudly with a smile.
The team dugout on the lower left.
There were several entourages behind him, and an old white man who was smiling and talking to the team's head coach and staff looked up and saw Alex and Abel.
Then a smile broke out on his face and he shouted back to Alex:
"Hey, it's you. Alex, I knew it. The others might not come. But you will."
"Haha~" Alex said with a smile: "I can't help it, because I love baseball!"
