Spring Training Tips

edsachs1 — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:42:38 -0000

I just made plans to go on my first every trip to Orioles Spring Training. I'm going in two weeks for my birthday. I was hoping some people that have gone could give me a few tips.

-Does anyone suggestion any good hotels in terms of price and location?

-When should I arrive at the stadium to try and get autographs, and where should I go? (I thought I read you could show up early outside the stadium to get autographs).

-Are there any nice restaurants in the area (maybe ones the Orioles eat at)?

-What else is there to do besides watching the O's?

-Anything else people would suggest to a first timer?

Thanks to anyone that can help. I real excited to finally get to go to Spring Training. Hopefully this post can be helpful to other first timers as well.

Seems like a solid move to me. He's the first Japanese signing by the O's, which should help in the future. Now players and fans in Japan should become more familiar with the O's. He also makes a decent stop gap in the rotation until some of our prospects are ready. Once they are he could move to the bullpen. I like this move alot. What does everyone else think?

Visiting Philly

Hello, Orioles fan here. My cousin and I are looking to attend the Phillies game on Saturday. I have a few question I was hoping you guys could help me with.

1. We were a little late on getting tickets. As of right now we don't have any. We don't mind sitting in nosebleeds, but would perfer not to. Camden Yards has a scalping zone were I've found some nice deals over the years. Do you guys have a similar section? Also will it be possible to walk up and buy tickets on gameday from the stadium? We're use to the Orioles were tickets have been really easy to get for the past couple seasons.

2. Where would be the best place to park, that's close to the stadium and cheap?

3. Are there any good places around the stadium we can stop for lunch before the game?

4. Who should be prepare to boo?

Thanks for any help.
