Thread: Going to my first baseball game EVER

I have to ask...how old are you?

I'm 22... why?

Live baseball doesn't even compare to live hockey and yes you will need lots of alcohol

You picked the right team to go watch.

Take your i-pod. Get a seat where you can totally spread out. Ice cold beer, lots of peanuts, hot dogs etc. RELAX!!!!!

Here are some food choices
Angel Stadium Food "Upgrades" Announced - Halo's Heaven

The traditional ballpark food is the hot dog and I'd go to the Major League Dog stand rather than the regular concessions. You can also bring in your own food.


Angels Stadium is a great place to watch a game. Parking is only $8 and getting in and out is fast and easy. Enjoy!

Even though I hate hot dogs I think I'll try one there just to do it. I guess the day I'm going they are playing the Oakland Athletics... I hate to sound ignorant but Ive actually never heard of this team, are they any good? It's also get a cooler day that day...so free cooler that's a plus! One more question, why do they play the same teams like 4 days in a row?

That's how they schedule baseball games.

In one week, they'll usually play a team 3-4 times straight. They have off-days maybe twice a month or sometimes 1.

Here is an example of the Angels schedule:

Thursday-Sunday @ Kansas City
Tuesday-Wednesday @ Tampa Bay
Friday-Sunday VS. Toronto
Monday-Wednesday VS. Cleveland

You get the idea. Basically a team will play 7 games on the road and then 7 games at home and so on.

In baseball, any team can beat another on any given day. Even "bad" teams beat the best teams from time to time. It often comes down to which team had better pitching that day. The A's are a small market team that has been known to be very creative in putting good young teams out on the field. I think most people would say that the top three teams in the division are very competitive with the edge this year going to the Texas Rangers, then the Angels, then the A's. The Mariners should come in last in the division.
