How about them Bucs?

I have been talking to the Pirates. The 6/22 Rangers night is their 'Latin and Carribean Festival'. From the Pirates: "Arrive early For Latin and Caribbean Fest, located on Federal Street from 4:00 p.m. to game time. Enjoy live music, entertainment, kids games and family fun".

I have a block of seats reserved. They are in Section 124 and start about 20 rows back. The seats are also under cover in case of inclement weather. Here's a Virtual View from those seats. I think this a good location with a nice view of the downtown skyline.

At this point, I have to make a go/no go decision on the seats within a few days. The problem is that 30 is the smallest block of seats that they will reserve for a group. So far, only 19 folks have shown interest. I am leaning on 'going for it' knowing how events around here tend to expand in numbers as an event approaches. Also, I know can sell 5-6 tix to family members in the area if need be.

The advantage to getting a group is that all the seats are together and will put a 'Welcome FlyerTalkers' message on the scoreboard (excellent photo moment).

So is the interest still there? If so, I will go ahead and confirm the tickets. I'll be sending everyone an e-mail to get an idea to gauge this. Still no financial commitment at this time, but I will need payment one month in advance. The ticket price is $27.
