August 18, 201412 yr Hey guys, was hoping someone could help shed some light on this for me... Back in the day when I had season tickets, my friends and I would go to most games and afterwards camp out at gate G to meet players and get autographs. We haven't done this in years and just got the urge to try and get back into collecting autographs. The thing is, I'm not familiar with this at all at the new ballpark. Is there any area fans gather to wait for players to come out after games? We were planning on going tomorrow night to check it out. Also, where should I park? Will I need a parking pass if we show up as the game is ending? Thanks a lot guys!
August 18, 201412 yr After the game, a bunch of the players exit at the Third Base Dugout Club on the north side, not sure where the bus for the visiting team is. Not sure on the parking pass question so I'll let someone else answer that one.
August 18, 201412 yr Third base parking garage seems to be a good spot, according to a friend of mine who's attended around 60 or so games there thus far.
August 18, 201412 yr Author Thanks for the tips guys. Does anyone have any info on parking? Can I park in the garage for free if the game is over?
August 18, 201412 yr Third base parking garage is really the only consistent place. A couple of times I've gone to the clevelander after a game and seen a player there hanging out. Really cool experience, but not the right place to ask for an autograph. "Yeah, boobs! Yeah, beer! Yeah, Stanton! Autograph please."
August 18, 201412 yr I once asked Conine for a pic while he was eating an hors d'oeuvre at a Marlins event cause I'm a jerk. He wiped his hands off on his suit to do it so he wouldn't get my suit dirty.

August 18, 201412 yr Way2go jerk. Luckily Conine is a nice guy. I saw him on a cruise and like an idiot I asked him for his autograph with nothing for him to sign. Not even a pen. Dude grabbed his napkin and got a pen from the bartender and signed the napkin. Then I got drunk that night and lost it. Derp. Did you wipe your shit with it? Seems like you'd do that.

Better memory, well maybe.
August 18, 201412 yr Anyone have any info on parking If I show up as the game is ending? You mean like just go for autographs and not actually be there for the game?
August 18, 201412 yr Author You mean like just go for autographs and not actually be there for the game? Yes exactly.
August 19, 201412 yr Don't park at any of the Marlins garages or lots if you're going at the end, they'll think ur a weirdo stalker and probably not let u in. Park anywhere else and walk over there. Still not sure why you wouldn't just go to the game itself, enjoy the time and the ballpark and just try to get ur autographs when the game ends. Totally skipping the game and jumping to the autographs is a bit weird.

Totally skipping the game and jumping to the autographs is a bit weird. Not that I really needed your conjecture, but I work most nights so I'm unable to attend the game tomorrow. I guess I'm just weird like that. My bad.

Wasn't trying to offend you but I think you can understand how someone who only wants to show up to the ballpark when players are leaving is unusual at first glance. With that said, I know ur intentions are good ones. I was just making an observation.
August 19, 201412 yr I've never seem a parking lot attendant when leaving- show up in the. 9th or after. The parking garages definitely have attendants post game directing people out towards the exits. Not sure about the surface lots though as I've only parked there once.

Surface lot would be better- the one with a softball field on it. But the actual garages I haven't seen anyone either, but I Olly parked there twice .
August 20, 201412 yr If you check the promo of the game sometimes they will have an autograph session in the team store outside the park. It's open to everyone and you don't need to have tickets. I've met, mcgehee, sololano, eovaldi, Cozart, and Dunn.

August 20, 201412 yr I've met, mcgehee, sololano, eovaldi, Cozart, and Dunn. Why would you want to meet that asshole on the Reds? [Our pitcher is Cosart]
