    I go 2 hours early at Wrigley. And good luck, I've been to 6 games this year and the Cubs have lost 5 :(

    I think if you are going to a 7pm start game, then i would try and be at the park between 5 and 530 to catch BP. However, if there is bad weather or some type of pregame ceremony, they will not have BP and the players will hit inside off batting tees and machines.

    It depends on several factors. The answers are right, a couple hours before a game is realistic though some clubs skip BP if the game is earlier in the afternoon, or if they are heading out on a plane that night, or bad weather came through, or if it is later in the season.

    Have fun.

    Depends. Usually like an hour and a half. Most recently though, I went like a little over 2 hours before the game started because I wanted to check out Citizens Bank Park and the hotel was walking distance... So pretty much like hour and a half to two. I ike getting there nice and early, haha :)

    Hope you have/had fun! X]

    You need to check the Angels A-Z Guide on their website. Go the "Gates" or "Batting Practice" section. Most ballparks open anywhere from 1.5 - 2 hours before gametime. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before the gates open to get a solid spot on-line.

    Source(s): If its a day game there will not be BP.

    About an hour and a half before game time. I like to experience the atmosphere before the game.

    Have fun but I can't say I have any love for the Angels.

  • As soon as the gate opens fans at Miller Park are able to watch batting practice. I'm sure it's the same with the Angels.

    Have a great time!!! And hope you get the win - even better!

    I get there at around 5:30. That's around when the Pirates usually do batting practice. I usually go catch balls in left field cause there's a lot more room to run around. Only thing that sucks though is that the sun shines right in your eyes in left field.

    I think around 2 hours before the game, maybe 2 and half to be safe

    Usually 2 hours before the game.BP's awesome. Have fun trying to snag a ball or two.
