Tips for Enjoying a Live Baseball Game

Be sure to go with people who you enjoy spending time with. Unlike watching baseball on TV, going to a live game is necessarily a social experience. If you’re a huge baseball fan but you’re dragging along a few people who aren’t, it might dampen your enjoyment.

On the other hand, if you’re not much of a ball fan going with a group of people who are might make you enjoy it, based on their enthusiasm alone. In any case, just remember that you’re there to have a good time and enjoy the company of your friends and loved ones.

Enjoy the atmosphere! A stadium baseball game is like nothing else. Take in the sights, sounds, and even smells of the people around you. People watch, keep an eye on the big screen, and participate in the activities like “the wave.” When else will you get the chance to be around so many other people at once?

Don’t forget to enjoy the culinary delights: no trip to the ball park is complete without a foot long hot dog and a cold beer. Of course, most stadiums have concession stands with a wide variety of options these days, so going hungry shouldn’t be a problem (as long as you brought enough spending cash, that is). Oh, and don’t forget to watch the action on the field!

NFL preview: Week 1 Team by Team

2015-09-13 by CapitalCityTickets.com Staff Leave a Comment

ESPN staff members and team writers take an in depth look at each NFL team going into Week 1 of the 2015 NFL season.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills: LeSean McCoy is officially listed as probable on the Bills’ injury report for Sunday’s game against the Colts. McCoy said Wednesday he wasn’t sure if he would be 100 percent, but when I told a teammate Friday about McCoy’s comment, he said, “No, he’s gonna be good.” — Mike Rodak

Miami Dolphins: Sunday marks the Dolphins’ debut of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. After a dominant preseason, Suh, who has favorable matchup against Redskins rookie guard Brandon Scherff, will look to continue that momentum. — James Walker

New England Patriots: The Patriots’ most notable injury situation is with defensive lineman Dominique Easley, who left Thursday’s season opener with a left hip injury. Rookie Geneo Grissom played the most snaps at the position in his place. With the timeline for Easley’s return uncertain, how the Patriots proceed will be closely watched. — Mike Reiss

New York Jets: For six months, the Jets have been talking about how they’ve improved their weapons on offense. In reality, they added only one impact player — Brandon Marshall. Will it be enough? We’ll know soon enough because the Browns have a top secondary. — Rich Cimini

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens: This is the first time running back Justin Forsett enters a season knowing he’ll be the starter. He is looking to carry over a strong finish from last year. Forsett averaged 5.4 yards per rush from Week 10 on last season, second among running backs. With backup Lorenzo Taliaferro (knee) out, Forsett will likely get close to 25 carries in Denver, including inside the red zone. — Jamison Hensley

Cincinnati Bengals: Now that A.J. Green has signed his contract extension, keep an eye on how well he performs in his first game with the new money. Although Green kept saying he was handling his negotiations well, it seemed clear in the past week he was getting a little agitated over a deal not yet being done. With the Bengals Pro Bowler’s contract now settled, his mind ought to be at ease entering Sunday’s opener at Oakland. Like former Cincinnati receiver Chad Johnson tweeted earlier in the week, expect Green to have a “monster” day. — Coley Harvey

Cleveland Browns: Josh McCown becomes the 23rd starting quarterback for the Browns in Sunday’s opener against the Jets, but with Johnny Manziel as his backup, McCown will learn quickly that speculation and questions will follow every game and every throw. McCown needs to play well if he wants to keep his job for the long term. — Pat McManamon

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers’ defense is scheming to make sure Tom Brady’s four-touchdown performance doesn’t rub off on Colin Kaepernick, who faces Pittsburgh next Sunday. The Steelers were flustered by Brady’s ability to get the ball out of his hands in two seconds. They will likely leave one area of the field vulnerable, cover everything else and dare Kaepernick to detect the weak spot from the pocket, where he has traditionally struggled. On offense, the Steelers will keep riding the hot hand of DeAngelo Williams, a feature fantasy back, for at least one week before Le’Veon Bell returns. — Jeremy Fowler
