How early do I have to leave?

Question

Ok so I live approximately 52 minutes away from Citizens Bank Park with no traffic. The Phillies game tonight starts at 7:05. I really wanted to get there early enough to either catch the home or away team batting practice. So how early do you think I should leave so I could catch that?

Answer 1

You should leave at quarter after two--in other words, about an hour and ten minutes from right now. Chop, chop, dude.

Answer 2

4 and u shuld get there on time

if u want to get there earlier leave at like 3:30

Answer 3

hour drive without traffic, could be 2 hours or more with traffic.

Batting practice typically ends a half hour before the game, so you want to be there no later than 6:00 to see a half hour of batting practice.

I'd leave by 4:00. This way if there is no traffic, you get there at 5:00 when the gates open, and you get to see all of batting practice. If there is traffic, you still get there by 6:00 and you get to see some batting practice.

Edit: Derik: why they h**l did you give me a thumbs down for giving the exact same answer as you? You say 3 hours early, I say 4:00, which is 3 horus early. whatever.

Answer 4

I live about 1 hour from Comerica park (Tigers) and I always leave 2 hours early but I miss the batting practice shows usually.

Leave 3 hours early if you really want to get to batting practice.

Answer 5

5:30
