Star Wars at the Stadium

The Colorado Rockies Star Wars Night is an event Marina and I have enjoyed the past few years. We were looking forward to the game tonight. Marina wore her Rey costume again and I dressed as Qi’ra. We left the house two hours before the game, hoping to get to the stadium early.

By the time we parked the car, rode the shuttle to the stadium and got through security, we weren’t as early as we hoped. We went immediately to the parade staging area so we could take part in that. As we waited for the parade, we talked with the people around us who were all very nice.

The parade was fun. We walked through the inner hallways of the stadium until we arrived at the entryway to the field. We walked all the way around the ballpark. Marina and the kids around her gave high fives to the people in the stands. Marina was so sweet, making sure to greet everyone who reached out to her.

After the parade was over, we walked around the stadium to find cosplayers and take photos with them. We also picked up our t-shirts. Marina was happy that they are purple this year. By then we were a bit hungry, so we got a snack and then got into line to see Dinger. We were early, so we were close to the front. When Dinger arrived, we got through the line quickly.

Marina wanted ice cream, so we picked some up on our way to our seats. By then it was the third inning. The game was a close one, but the Rockies lost 6-5. That was a bit disappointing. We left the game as quickly as we could. The game had been nearly four hours long and we were ready to go home.
