Man, they are ROLLING out Philadelphia.

The AME choir, the Philly commercial, Boyz II Men. Wonderful!

I miss home so much right now! I love London, but Philly has my heart forever.

1. They are rocking

3. They've always been great.

I am LOVING this!

2. That's how it's done in Philly!

I would be over there right now, but with the protestors and the heat, I'm going to be in for the night.

5. I couldn't do it either, if I were there.

Unless I were a delegate inside, I just could not deal with the heat. I remember EXACTLY what that's like, especially with the humidity.

But I kind of have tears in my eyes watching. I love it here, but I miss home a lot, especially when it's a celebration of Philly, where I grew up and lived for most of my life.

4. I can't be there this week ... but I was up there last week ...

visited family ... went back to the old neighborhood, saw the police arrest two armed men in a parked car 5 feet away (no shots fired, pheww) ... and even caught a Phillies game (lost in extra innings).

Great time!!

7. I miss going to see the Phils so much.

I used to get tickets for the Red Sox games every year. I like both teams (but would always root for the Phils!)

13. I had not been to the "new" stadium yet ... it was very cool.

We had a great view of the game, and the Philly sky-line sits directly out over center field.

But sadly William Penn was not visible on top of city hall. I hated when they changed that law.

14. There are no bad seats at CBP.

It's a wonderful stadium.

[JoePhilly]

15. Agree ... I was impressed. We were in the 300 level (I think) ...

... behind and to the right of home plate. Perfect view of the field, the huge scoreboard in left, with the full city skyline to its right ... and sunset to the left of the scoreboard ... so much nicer than the Vet ever was.
