Excitement filled the air in the park, but the outcome didn't much matter to the sold out crowd of more than 10,000 fans.
You can bet there were a lot of half-days at work in the Triangle Monday. Fans arrived early to get a feel for the new ballpark and catch a glimpse of some major league players.
Despite the larger crowd, Bulls General Manager Peter Anlyan said parking was not expected to be a problem thanks to the new Diamond View office building. Anlyan says there have been many changes to the park.
Fans who arrived early were treated to a bit of pregame patriotism. A bald eagle flew into the stadium as part of the first pitch festivities.
