It's tough to predict whether or not tickets will still be available in five
weeks. Much depends on what happens between now and then in re the teams'
respective records; a Memorial Day matchup for last-place bragging rights
will, naturally, be a tough sell.
I can tell you, though, that as of this evening (25 Apr) I was able to place
a temporary hold on four same-row tickets for that game in every part of the
park save the lower bowl between the bullpens. Upper-deck seats of all types
and lower-level bullpen and outfield seats were plentiful.
In addition, there are always same-day $1 tickets held to be made available
prior to gametime. There are also =almost= always tickets being hawked
outside the BOB at or below face-value a few hours before first-pitch.
If it were my decision to make and I was not certain I could attend a game
under these circumstances, I would probably wait until I could be a =bit=
more certain before buying -- but, heck, I'm a procrastinator by nature.

Simeon Rice, Class Act
"Someone who wasn't overly impressed with Pat Tillman's call to duty was
Simeon Rice, a former Cardinals teammate who now is with the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. Earlier this year, on Jim Rome's national radio show, Rice said
Tillman 'wasn't that good, not really.' He went on to imply that Tillman
probably wasn't going to be around the NFL much longer anyway, so joining
the Army was no big deal."
"Only after Rome gave him repeated opportunities to amend his comments did
Rice finally say, 'I think it's very admirable, actually.' He added of
Tillman's motivation: 'Maybe it was the Rambo movies? Maybe it's Sylvester
Stallone and Rocky?'"
