I'm going to drive out tomorrow. My favorite hang-out is the top of the bleachers (east side) of court 2 (north end). From here, you can watch the tournament scoreboard, and peek over the back to ca…

I know it's a bit early, but I always start thinking about the Pacific Life Open as the Australian winds down. I've gone for the last 2 years in a row and I won't miss it for anything in '08. I'd li…

Comment by El Mago on March 10, 2010 at 2:28pm: Thanks Mark, Would you know when will Nadal play his second round match? I know he has a first round bye, either Sat. or Sun. 11 or 7pm match? Nice photos by the way :)

Comment by Mark / Mr. Mayor on March 9, 2010 at 10:32am: Magia, generally, there is no additional fee for seating in the smaller stadia and around the practice courts. The grounds admission price covers all that. You can buy lower seats in Stadia 2, 3 and 4 but you do not have to. The grounds are fantastic and this is what makes this tournament one of the best in the world.

Can you see pros practice? Check out these photo albums that I took:

Comment by El Mago on March 9, 2010 at 9:45am: Hi Mark, I'm planning on going there either March 13th or 14th, but don't have tickets for the stadium action. Can I still see pros practice in the outer courts? Is there admission fees in the outer courts? How much would it be to watch in the stadium afternoon matches and can I see from above seats? Thanks!

Comment by Mark / Mr. Mayor on March 8, 2010 at 8:43am: Yep! Are you going again this year Lauren?
I'd headed out this Friday and will be there for about a week! I love this tournament for all the obvious reasons, weather, top stars, ATP and WTA, great grounds, did I mention weather? :-)
