For all other start times, two of the Stadium's gates open 2 hours before the game. They are Gate 6 right field and Gate 8 center field. The latest or least early that fans can enter any major league ballpark is 1 hour, which is the gate opening time for Progressive Field when the Indians have a game.
Based on their schedule, that means the 1-hour gate opening time applies to only 5 Indians home games. Gates open at different times based on a team's schedule for 11 ballparks, with the variable scheduling factor usually being either whether the game begins at day or night and takes place on a weekday or weekend.
For all ballparks in which those factors apply, their gates open earlier for night and weekend games. Uniform gate opening times are not the norm. Only 11 ballparks in always open all of their gates at the same time, regardless of the game date or starting time although Opening Day is an allowable exception.
Batting Practice Information The 1 reason fans arrive early to a ballpark is to watch batting practice. It's also worth noting that teams may not hit before every game, as batting practice can be cancelled due to weather or not held when a day game is played after a night game.
Hence, teams often don't take BP on the field prior to Sunday afternoon games. Baseball Pilgrimages Gate Openings by Team. American League. Send this page to a friend. Comments or questions.

Y ou come to this stand by section for one reason: the St. Louis Dog. Take crispy potato chips, cover them with cheese and BBQ sauce It's a mess you'll be glad you conquered.
At this point, nearly every Major League team has some kind of variable pricing model where depending on how in-demand a game is, the ticket prices you'll pay at the gate may go up or down. So rather than focusing on specific prices and sections which tend to change fairly often, I want to talk about general rules and strategies for getting the best deals on tickets.
SeatGeek is a big time ticket comparison site that lets you compare a bunch of different ticket brokers, marketplaces, etc. They also have a tool that projects whether ticket prices will go up or down - AKA whether you should buy now or wait. Click here to view Cardinals tickets on Seat Geek. If you've bought tickets online before, you've heard of StubHub.
What you may not know however is that with the rise of print-at-home and tickets on your mobile phone via the Ballpark App that you can usually buy tickets right up to a couple of hours before game time. As someone who has sold a fair share of tickets on StubHub, I also know that sellers are encouraged to set a declining price for their tickets.
This means they'll set a starting price and then their lowest acceptable price, and StubHub will auto-magically lower the price of those tickets as the event date gets closer. So in many cases, a game that isn't sold out will have plenty of below face value deals on StubHub that you can snatch at the last minute and then either print at home, or just use the App on your phone to get scanned into the game. And Who Wants to Do That? It's not to say that you can't find ticket deals on Craigslist, you can.
It is just more of a peace of mind, safety issue. I'm a Craigslist kind of guy, but I also know it's easy to get screwed buying baseball tickets there. Remember when I mentioned selling on StubHub?
When you list tickets there, all you need to know is the barcode number from that ticket along with the other details on section, row, etc.
If I was a shady character, I could go sell those void tickets to an unsuspecting buyer on Craigslist for cash. The tickets look real, they are "real" in a sense - but what that buyer will find out is when they go to enter the stadium, the ticket scanner will say "thou shalt not enter thy game.
Stick to buying tickets from SeatGeek , StubHub, or directly from the team. You can still get deals and you never have to worry about being scammed. The Cardinals offer some pretty aggressive discounts on tickets, which is great news for fans on a budget. I think if you are truly in search of good value tickets at Busch Stadium, the key is flexibility.
For instance; Sundays shape up to be a great time to go to a Cardinals game. They go for sale at 9 AM on gameday at gate 3, near Clark. Then, about 15 minutes before the game, you show up at gate 5 with your ID and voucher, and they give you your 2 tickets.
Most people don't really plan ahead, and they end up paying top dollar for everything - which is stupid if you ask me. You might expect this from a crappy team, but the Cardinals are perennial winners and they give plenty of chances for everyone to make it out to some games.

In fact, they are right above the infield terrace box seats which are about double the price. I think if you are going cheap seats, these are your best value tickets at Busch Stadium.
Kids 12 and under are also able to get super-cheap seats in that same section. My favorite way to travel to a baseball game is to stay as close to the stadium as possible and walk, or take Uber so I don't have to fool with parking in a strange place.
