3E8 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 What are the perks of being at a Spring Training game versus a regular season game? Are the players more accessible for autographs and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the players more accessible for autographs and such? yeah the players are pretty much just walkn by constantly from field to field during thier work outs and they stop and sign autographs and talk to you.....as far as the game...its nice @ TEP cause the field is like a mini stadium and everyseat is great, u get to see the starters play about 1/2 the game then they bring in all the other members from the 40 man roster and the non roster invites so u get to check out the future of our ball club like last year jeremy reed was fun to watch...to bad hes gone now but im lookn 4ward to seeing BMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hell I'll be going down to Tuscon for spring training agian this year, f***ing sweet, I love watching the batting practice before the games, you can get tons of balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well with any luck I'll be there to see them play the Angels on the 15th and/or the Cubs on the 18th. How long do you guys think tickets will be available for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm pissed I can't go this year because my high school baseball season starts over spring break and we have to stay home. Last year I went over spring break and it was fricking awesome. If you are debating as to go or not, please go. You will love it. I met a lot of locals who were Sox fans and the weather kicked ass.

Chisoxfn Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hell ya I'll be going. I think this will be about my 8th year out there. Its a total blast. Not sure when I'm going but it will be within the first three weeks of spring training. I'll end up catching two Sox games and two other games while staying in the Phoenix area. If anyone hasn't been and can go, go, its probably the thing I look forward to most every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peoria is a cool stadium to watch a game. I caught the sox against the padres up there last year. Last year was the first year I saw white sox spring training logo stuff up the phoenix area. Hopefully there is more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually we head there on a Sunday cause its on our drive back to SoCal. Good food, nice atmosphere. But I think I can say that about pretty much every staidum there. HiCorbett (Rockies), Phoenix Municipal (Oaklands) and HoHoKam (Cubs) are the only facilities I don't really like. I think I dislike the Cubs facility mainly because of the fans, lol.

You making it out to Arizona Steff? Not likely. I have to work some OT to pay off a little bar tab.. This will be the second year in a row I've missed.. But I have so much going on over the next 2 months and I'm planning a wedding for May also... I am planning on meeting you guys on the minor league tour though..

Lol, I don't think I'll ever see a bar tab that big again, well at least not till next year And that minor league tour is gonna be a major blast then. North Carolina better watch out, cause it won't be the same after were all there (take note steff, for once I used the right there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Peoria is a cool stadium to watch a game. I'll say...since I live about 5 or 10 minutes from there and play summer and fall league games there too. I personally like it best...Surprise isn't bad if you know the back way into instead of the clusterf*** Bell Road way. And Maryvale (Brewers) is good too...cause not many people go that often. It's all good though....best time of the year out here! If anybody's interested...I could probably steer ya to some pretty decent places for night time entertainment.
