tohasbo Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The usual is 90 minutes. Highly doubt you will be able to see the rays with bp. You will see the visiting team. Only reason is because i went to about 20 nats games in 2006 and that is what usually happened. The gates opened at 5:30. Not sure if that is the same now....

TBGKon Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Should be an hour and a half before game time. If anything, the Rays will just be finishing up BP and the visitors will be taking the field shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I know Shea opens 2 hours before gametime at Gate C (behind home plate) and 90 minutes at the rest of them. Some others may have one main gate open earlier than the rest...check the stadium website or FAQ's on the team site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I haven't been to Dodger Stadium in a while, but I know a few years ago the Angels started opening up 2 hours before game time so fans could catch the last half hour of BP; but I'd say an hour and a half before the start of the game. You could do the simple thing and pick up the phone and call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gates will open 2 hours prior to game time for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday games, and 1 hour 30 minutes prior to game time Monday through Thursday. "They had it listed under parking, go figure.

oddball Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I searched and I searched for that and couldn't find it. I knew it had to be there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
