Yes, but that's just common courtesy. If I'm warching the game I don't want to have to miss anything because kids are returning to their seats with their Dipping Dots. Not a big deal since you can watch the at bat from top of the stairs.

Nice thing about Safeco is you can watch the game from the concourse as you're walking around to get food and drinks so you don't miss anything. I'll often get cheapest CF rickets and then watch a few innings from different points in the ballpark. Over the bullpens, behind home plate, etc. Edit: there's also a beer garden area behind left/center field called The 'Pen (next to bullpen, duh). There's also a beer patio above the mechanical scoreboard in near 3rd base line in left field. Cool to watch the dude switch out the metal plates to update runs/hits/etc.

Have you been to T-mobile Park (formerly Safeco Field) in Seattle yet? So glad they blew up the Kingdome and built Safeco.

Neighborhood barbecue in the evening. I'm probably going to work tomorrow and use the holiday hours on Friday for when we go to our house on the coast. This flexibility is one of the many benefits of working from home.

Nice. Good luck.
