it will be well worth it the next couple years. There will be some very good prospects playing there. I wish I had a chance to go see some of those kids play in person before they hit the ML level.

fun but most of the people that go to the games lower my IQ everytime I go, and it isn't that high to start out with.

Go on weekdays, buy crappy seats and move up to the front row.

Go as often as you can.  Very nice park, good seats are relatively inexpensive, and there will be several nice players to watch there this year.

than going to Arlington...straight-up, and definitely for the money. Often, you'll see better baseball, and the food is light-years ahead of Arlington. Plus, you are very close to the field...all seat.

and you get a lot of access to the players before the game if you want.  sitting behind scouts is also pretty cool

just because I live in North Dallas, and that drive out to Arlington is a BEATING with traffic.

the stadium's really nice, you are close to the field, and it's pretty fun to have been able to watch "great" minor leaguers such as Danks, Volquez, Botts, Duran and the likes over the years...then when they make it to the big leagues, you can say you followed them when they were just getting started.

Frisco games are a lot of fun.  Weekdays are better because it's less crowded and during the summer weekend games (at least Fireworks Friday and Saturday games) often sell out.  The Friday/Saturday crowd seems to be Dallas socialites who show up in the 3rd inning, leave in the 5th and don't realize a baseball game is going on.

I'm not sure about gate prices, but I don't think they can be that expensive...probably around $20.  I can tell you that I have founders club seats which are the first 12 rows behind home plate and they average about $35 per game which includes food/alcohol (if you drink beer/wine) and parking.  That's a lot cheaper than the Rangers!  

The only real gripe I have is that Frisco games are geared towards "entertainment" rather than baseball so you have a lot of between game "activities", dancers/mascot on the dugout etc.  And Duece (the mascot) loves to be on the dugout and walk around on chairs during the game which may block your view.

As for the baseball itself, as others have speculated, it should be a pretty good team this season.

games are great. I just moved two minutes away from the park and plan on attending quite a few.

DaHeelz and I used to have a season game plan ticket package for the first two seasons. We've been to several games since then on a one to one basis and it's a lot of fun and yes pretty cheap. My only problem with that place is the fact that you can't take anything at all into the stadium (food/drink wise) except for a clear empty plastic bottle. For someone that has a 2 year old daughter it's hard, because she's not going to eat the food in there or not very much of it so it's a waste of money for the wife and I.

I usually go to a couple games with either a school or scout group per year. I would love to go more often but I am the only one in my family that appreciates baseball. Prices are resonable. Players give autographs after the game and seating is good. Watch out for foul balls.

In case anyone is interested they are having an open house tomorrow from noon - 3p.

and as yall all know the astro's AAA team is here. i love going to there games. i probably go to about 15 a year and even though its not a team i support you still get to see alot of good baseball.

plus since i started going my the games my knowledge of the minor leagues and overall apprectiation of the game has increased.

plus san antonio is about an hour's drive and they have a AA team affiliated with the padres, that ill go to two or three games during the summer

honestly i kinda find minor league games more enjoyable than major league games in alot of ways, its cheaper, you can sit where ever you want. before games you can get much closer to the players, and its just a very relaxed atmosphere.
