PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at San Diego Padres, Aug 15, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
What's your favorite place to eat at in the park? Have you eaten at the Omni buffet? What about the Terrace restaurants? The question was asked in one of the previous comments sections and I thought I'd throw it out there.
Omni or Terrace?
Go Padres!!

Thanks Dex!
for carrying my question over, I appreciate it!
The story is that my dad is visiting and I want to show him a good time at a Padres game. He’s not a huge baseball fan, so I’m taking him more for the experience. The food and extra “premiums” like in-seat service are a big part of that.
So which will offer him the more luxurious time out at the ’ol ballpark: the omni or the terrace?
never been to the omni.
i do like the terrace. gets you away from the riff raff.
sometimes i like to be snooty at the ole ballpark, esp with the prices we are paying these days.

Been to both
Omni Club is pretty exclusive, I’d go there.

Personaly, I'm tempted to say the Omni
Though it’s an uninformed opinion as I’ve never actually sat in those seats before. I’ve sat in Terrace before and the restaurant selection is nice, but the Omni just looks so exclusive.
I just talked to a nice guy at the box office
He said that the omni seats have a semi-obstructed view (because of the overhang and the protective netting) and that, for his money, he’d rather sit in the terrace. However, he did mention that the omni club buffet is “the best food they serve in the park”, so I’m still torn.
It sounds like the seats are above home plate
But you can still sit in the actual club where the bar is. Either way, There is no obstruction, unless you cannot see through a net for some reason.

One thing to add
Just because you have omni tickets you don’t get the buffett with them, you have to pay extra, I think its like 20 or 40 bucks.

Is it just me,
Or does Jamie Moyer look just like Ferris Bueller’s dad? Perhaps I’m showing my age here.

The United States as a team has a 33/8 K/BB ratio in 114 at-bats. Walks weren’t the priority when this roster was being put together, but that’s still brutal.

I dont care if they're not baseball related.
Most of the best ones aren’t. I just want the fun back. These f**kers have ruined it for us.
It doesn't help
that team USA blows too or else I’d be OTing that.

I was thinking about this earlier
Carlos Quentin leads the AL in HRs.
The Dbags lost Byrnes, had to bring back Clark, and are giving up Owings to rent Dunn as their answer to Manny.
HA!

“If Duensing is pulled to start the ninth in favor of the guy randomly handed the closer tag, then Davey Johnson has completely lost it.” Let’s see what happens.
