Spring Training Game, how early to go?

[mickeyman42]

I wasn't sure where this belonged so move it if necessary. We will be going to an Atlanta Braves spring training game next week, and am just wondering how early we should plan to be there. I would like to get to our seats about 20-30 mins before the game starts to have a look around and get situated, but I have no real idea of how long it will take from the time we leave AKL to get to our seats. we will have our own car, but from parking and then getting into the stadium, how long should I factor in for this? I wouldn't mind catching the end of warmups either, but if I plan to leave the resort at 11:45-12 for a 1 pm game, should we have plenty of time? thanks

An hour and 15 minutes from start time leaving AKL should be fine, but you may want to leave a little earlier just to have a little more time to take it all in. It's such a great stadium and atmosphere. Parking is convenient though, and not a long walk at all. Have a great time!

thanks a lot! yes I have heard that the stadium is great, and I can't wait, even if it is only spring training

That should be plenty of time to get there for when you intend. But I second what someone said about leaving a little earlier to give you time to look around. It is a beautiful park and facility. Enjoy!

We did 2 spring training games 2 years ago and had a ball. We left All-Star Music 2 hours in advance and took the Disney bus over. It was packed both of those days and getting through the concourse to our seats were a challenge on one of the days, but we got there in plenty of time to see some of batting practice. If you're big baseball fans like us you'll have an awesome time!
