Baseball: Anyone know when General Admission ticket holders will be allowed...

to sit in the chair backs? 2nd inning seems fair to me.

Usually happens after the 4th or 5th.

Last year, with the exception of Fri/Sat of SBW along with a couple other SEC games, the grandstands were open to GA the entire game. But that could very well be different this year with the temporarily smaller number of charibacks.

This year, you can at least walk around the concourse and (presumably) stand behind the seats in the shade and watch the game from first pitch.

I had 2 chairback seats and 1 GA last year and they wouldn’t let the GA come in. There were a ton of empty seats.

Odds on how long it takes...

for someone on the rail to dump their drink on someone in the back row of chairbacks?

This actually raises a good question. Will we start having to go to permanent ticket "watchers" at the top of each aisle with the 360 degree concourse? Seems logical.

I could see this on an expected busy weekend. For the majority of games, though, it's going to be pretty relaxed I imagine.

So what inning did they open up the grandstand last night?

 

[MSUDC11]

It’s a moot point now, but in the old stadium, the staff by the elevator never checked tickets. I snuck into the grandstand many times without a chairback ticket just by taking the elevator up and then walking down from there.

I asked the supervisor of the gate/ramp attendants last night and he didn't even know. He said it is always announced over the PA and until they heard the announcement they wouldn't allow anybody to sit there.

That's pretty bad. I'm sure Cohen would prefer no empty seats in the grandstand. He needs to make a decision to open it up by the T3.

Not sold out? No shows? Eep...we are going to get a bunch of threads every home game in this sport too.

That's not really what this thread's about. there are always going to be no shows in baseball. I know 2 people who own chairbacks who won't come to a game all year. I get tired of asking them for seats though.
