Stadium Scoop
Autographs: While the practice fields are always a good spot, fans can stake out a piece of turf at the stadium's "Autograph Alley," which every player has to pass through to reach the stadium field.
Parking: Don't use Bell Road! Exit off the 101 Loop at Thunderbird Road, Union Hills Drive or 75th Avenue for less congested routes to the stadium.
Concessions: Fans can choose their beer based on their palate, not their wallet as all domestic, craft and imported beers are priced exactly the same.
Tickets: Don't procrastinate! Avoid the lines and save money by buying your game tickets in advance. If interested in coming as a group, be sure to inquire on our premium group areas with full catering and bar in the Colonnade and at the Pavilion!
Gates: Fans can bring their own food, but don't break the seal on your drinks! Only factory-sealed water bottles and juice boxes are allowed. Fans on the lawn, bring a blanket! Lawn chairs are not permitted.
