The last game of our 5 day trip and regretfully we brought the rain with us from Grand Rapids. Unlike the game in Grand Rapids though, the rain wasn't enough to end the game in Lansing. We did sit through a rather lengthy rain delay in Lansing, but as it was our last game we decided we were going to wait it out to the end. As I mentioned, our patience paid off, and we got to watch the game conclude. This game had the poorest attendence (with the possible exception of the much smaller South Bend stadium) of any of the games we atteneded on the trip. By the time the rain delay was over, the crowd was even smaller and we picked where we wanted to sit. We kept the kids happy during the delay, by filling them with as much food as their heart desired. Due to the delay, I would have to say this was the calorie heaviest day in our two years of trips! We also had to stick around until the end as it was run the bases day for kids.
In the tradition of our trips, we got the park very early and in credit to the players they did a great job signing the baseball. Other then the Fort Wayne ball we got with our birthday package, this ball had more signatures then any we had acquired in our two years of games. This alone is reason enough to go to a Lugnuts game. If this wasn't enough, despite the low attendence (probably forecast based), this is a stadium that I would recommend to anyone. It had a great right field kids area (which we enjoyed several times during the long game) and a nice clean minor league feel.
Our last purchase of the trip was a black Lugnuts mini-bat.
