New Year's Eve Preparations

Here are a few pictures from New Year's Eve. I went downtown in the afternoon to kill some time and watched some of the set-up for the festivities planned that night. I did not go downtown at night for the festivities. Rather, I stayed at home with my wife and enjoyed a quiet evening.

City of Palms Park

City of Palms Park (in Fort Myers, Florida) is where the Boston Red Sox plays their Spring Training games. Lee County just fought a tough battle (and won!) to keep the Red Sox in the area for several more years. One of the main things the Red Sox was looking for is a new stadium similar to Fenway Park, including a Green Monster. So now Lee County is searching for an area for which to build the new stadium.

(Update, Dec 24th, 2008: I bought tickets for two of the Spring Training games in the upcoming season. Tickets went very fast, but I was able to find a few decent seats a day after the tickets went on sale. Some people camped out in line for a few days to get tickets. I think the ones waiting a few days were trying to mainly get Yankees tickets.)
