1. Should be

interesting.

2. Thanks for that!

3. Pres Obama is due in AZ around 6pm.

I hope he's ready for the heat. I'm used to it but I wouldn't want to have to sit in that stadium for hours.

5. I don't think that stadium was a real good

idea. They should have rented the covered dome on the West Side (Cardinal's Stadium; I know it must be named for a corporation, but I don't know which).

6. Univ. of Phoenix stadium.

Yeah, that would have been a good idea with the crowds that were expected.
People are passing out from the heat despite all the precautions they've taken.

8. Yeah. Good Point. Why wouldn't they use the Cardinals Stadium?

That makes so much sense. And it has AC, and nice lighting

[jillan]

9. Or even at BOB - or whatever it's called these days )

That's more centrally located and has AC.

I know a 70 year old grandma going tonite to see her granddaughter graduate.

Being out in the heat all day not such a good idea.

10. It's Chase Field now and there is a game tonight.

[jillan]

12. Eh - what's more important - the D-backs or Obama?

;)

[azmouse]

13. Well... when you put it that way...

:hi:

The Dbacks really suck this year anyway! GObama!!! :woohoo:

[Thrill]

4. Looks nice out there
