Nice. Thanks. What if you got tickets for free during the weekday? Would you go then?

When I get tickets I go. I go for the fun of it.

I go to a few games a year. But only on weekends, because I get up at 5:15 during the week to go to work.
Some people complain that you can't see as much detail as watching it on TV. But there is nothing like being out with the crowd. Live and in person.
I also go to a few D-backs Spring Training games each year.
After the Dodgers opened Camelback Ranch, I went once, just to see what it was like. 'No comparison to Salt River Fields. The Dodgers scoreboard looks like a Little League scoreboard by comparison.

For sure. Salt River Fields did it right for sure. It's like a mini Chase field. So Friday night games would work for you?

Yes, why do you ask?

We have season tickets for games that we will be giving away to members throughout the Dbacks season.

We attend about 10 games a year. I have no problem saying that if the product were more entertaining, I'd be are more games. I LOVE Chase Field and I LOVE baseball... And I think the Chase Field experience is one of the best values in all of MLB (in terms of ticket, food and beverage prices)...

We go at least once a month and it doesn't matter who the opposing team is or where the Dbacks are at in the standings. I love going to baseball games.

For sure. Hopefully the Dbacks can be like the Royals of last year. Not a lot of big name guys, but find ways to win.
Average seems to be 10, I would assume I attend that many games per year as well. I kind of like week night games to be honest, it's a great way to wind down after work, just head over to the ballpark and watch my favorite pro sports team of any sport.
Last year I "traveled" with the DBacks to San Diego and saw 2 games there, I hope to make that an annual tradition.

I go to a couple games a year. Not a huge baseball fan, but it's a relaxing night out.

My attendance is sporadic but I usually make it to 2-3 games a year. Pitching matchups usually factor into what games I try to get out for.

'Sounds good to me!
I have been hoping for Chip Hale to manage the D-backs ever since he led our Tucson team to the Minor League championship. And was chosen Minor League manager of the year.
That while losing so many of his key players to the D-backs as BabyBacks. Remember how many came up?
He was promoted to D-backs 3B coach and so many ASFN posters gave up on him because he was aggressive in sending runners home. Though no worse than Matt Williams.
As Manager, Chip's preparation and enthusiasm are outstanding. I expect good things from him as I have been posting ever since Bob Melvin left. I am glad he is back with us for his first MLB managing job.
Here is an article from yesterday that you may find interesting.

I agree with you about Hale as well. Love the aggressiveness and taking chances. Plus, adding LaRussa and Stewart are a blessing. Both know how to win

I go to a few Wednesday games during the summer. They're perfect for the younglings.

The wife and I go about 8 - 10 games a year. Usually during the week days as we are both retired. I started playing baseball at age 5 in pee wee league and have loved the game every since.
We also try to make 4-5 spring training games together.

By seeing the good response of you all going to at least a few games, this is what we were hoping for, by picking up some tickets for the season. We want to help get some of you out to a few games to enjoy a little Americas pastime for just being a member on the forum. Details will be implemented soon on how you can win them. The 1st game up for grabs will be game 2 of the open series vs the Giants. It is on Tuesday April 7th at 6:40. I know its still a ways away, but just getting it out there.

It is such a pleasure to be a member of ASFN and the good things you are doing.
No, I am not trying to kiss-up. I am sure I speak for many on the D-back, Suns and Mercury forums.
Keep up the good work.
And thanks for the email birthday wish.
