You must have gotten there pretty early then. I remember it being a disaster and taking forever to get in and out of the 3rd base (NE corner) garage.

I almost bought a block of 20 to resell for $200 a piece later on, but couldn't get to the ballpark ticket office, and didn't want to literally sit there arguing they can print tickets. Someone purchased around 300 tickets from Seattle. I know of others who did the same. Wait what? Why would anyone do this?

Yeah, as I said above, there's a million permutations and things that play into attendance on a given night. Weekday vs. weekend is the biggest factor, I think. Opponent also makes a big difference. But yeah, as you say, including parking could sway it from 5,000 to 7,000. Totally agree that the parking is ridiculous.....I can get a cheap ticket but then get stuck with parking more than the ticket? Nah, I just park down the street, there's a plaza with a nice lot for cheaper than the garage where I'd be stuck trying to get out of forever. Best spot for parking is that baseball field outside the plaza, and running down the regular stairs. I’d be home by homestead in about 20 mins on a game night staying until final pitch. It went up from 15 to 30 one year and I never pRked there again tho.

Dudes are paying $500 for a basic topps rookie card (albeit short printed/limited). i think it was his first hit too they were chasing

Front yard somewhere in the grid to the north of the stadium. Easy access to Dolphin and off you go

I come from Fort Lauderdale, though, so I always wind up in that northeast corner so I can jump right on the 395 east/95 north.....they route you west out of where you're talking about (or at least they did years ago). I haven't been to a game since 2019.
