So I'm going to a baseball game...?

Question

and they are giving out free shirts to the first 25,000 people. If the game starts at 5:10, what time should I be there if I want to get a shirt? If it matteres its at Chase Field.

Answer 1

I suggest going around 4 or 4:30 so you can get the shirt and you can watch batting practice and you never know you might get a ball when u watch practice.

Answer 2

My buddy does this.  We go to the games early for these d**n free shirts and what does he do?   The big guy loves to take his shirt off.

Answer 3

3:45 to 4:15

I went to a Cubs game to get American Girl clothes (I'm 13 so I still get stuff like that ;)) and it was a 1:20 start. We got there at 12:00 and we barely got the free stuff, so you want to be there really early.

Answer 4

4:15 baby

Answer 5

4:00

Answer 6

4:50

Answer 7

about 30 minutes before the game.

Answer 8

I guess it matters how much your time is worth.

If you make 20 $ an hour and you get there 2.5 hours early, you just spent 50 $ on a shirt you don't even get to pick out.

Answer 9

I think you'll be fine if you get there before the anthem.

Answer 10

Get there at 4:10 but bring some food or a book to read if its too early so time will pass and you still get your t-shirt!

This gives you something to do (like read) and get your t-shirt

at the

same

time!

Answer 11

Dude, keep your shirt on.  There may not even be much more than 25,000 people at a D-backs game.  You have a pretty good chance to get a shirt arriving right on time.

Answer 12

why go through so much trouble to get a t-shirt? ill send you the one im wearing right now if ur that desperate

Answer 13

Gate usually open 2 hours before game time, but you should check the teams website to find out for sure.

25,000 shirts means that about half of the crowd will get them. If you really want a shirt (and one that fits) you should get there at least an hour before game time, but I would recommend more like an hour an a half, or even 2 hours.

Plus, if you don't go to games very often, this gives you time to walk around the stadium before the game and soak up the atmosphere of a MLB game.  So it won't be wasted time.

Answer 14

It depends on how far away you are from the stadium. The gate would open at around 3:45 so you should get there at around 3:45-4:00pm.

Answer 15

30 min. before

Answer 16

be there at 4:00

Answer 17

I'd say an atleast half an hour after gate opening, because we're talking about 25,000 and a stadium that fits around 49,033, so you better get their at around that time.

Answer 18

like 4:30 or 4:45

Answer 19

no later than 4:30
