Going to the Rockies Game on Saturday

by jrockies on Jul 24, 2009 1:43 PM MDT

This Saturday is photo day for the Rockies. I have every intention of attending the game and having a good time, but I have never been to photo day before. There are two things I would like to know about in regards to this game.

1. What time do I need to be at the game to get pictures/autographs from the players? Since it is a Saturday game it starts at 6:10 and I generally show up as the Rockpile and E gates open 2 hours before game time. Do I need to go earlier than this and do the gates open eariler?

2. After reading the comments here for the last week it has come to my attention that there will be many-a-Rowbot at the game. I propose that we try and get together inside the ballpark before the game starts (I never leave my seat during the game and I assume many of you are the same way). The question then becomes when and where do we meet. Please post in the comments section a preferred location and time, so it will be easier to chat for a little bit before we rush to enjoy the game.

Thanks for the info, and I hope to see you there.

gates open like normal, but no BP

gates A & E open like normal on Sat night games and there will be no BP. but as for how long the Photo Op will be, I’m not sure but I will ask Steve the Senior Supervisor about that when I go to work soon.

I'm running

to Corpas and Fogg for two important autographs (assuming both are at the game). My 2007 NL Champion Shirt needs those two, Jeremy Affeldt, Latroy Hawkins, Jamey Carroll, and 5 other guys I never expect to see again. 2 years of work on this and I want it finished.
