I went to my first 51's game on Thursday, May 17th and I can't wait to go back!
I purchased 15 tickets to the 51's game for my office get together. I called the group sales line and they said that I needed to purchase 20 tickets to get the group rate- which is $1 off the seats. To be honest, I was a little surprised they didn't offer to give us that rate, as I receive TONS of phone calls soliciting my company to purchase tickets. We finally decided to and no specials? However, the guy on the phone said that he would get our name/logo on the huge board when they welcome groups that come to the games! Very cool!
I got our tickets in the mail with a free voucher for a hat. You could order parking tickets for $1.00 off a head of time, otherwise its $4.00 at the gate.
I asked Josh (the sales guy) to get us tickets in a shaded part of the stadium not knowing how the day would turn out. We had AMAZING seats! We were in Plaza12, row T. This is behind home plate, under the awning with the misters. Perfect!! These tickets were $13.00 per person.
I booked tickets for Thursday since it's $1.00 beer night!! Note: The lines are long for the dollar beers and they only give you 2 beers per person.
That day was CRAZY windy, but once inside the stadium, you would have no idea that there were 50 mph winds that day!
The 51's got tore up by the Memphis Redbirds but it was a great atmosphere and cool people.
Parking was a breeze to get in and out. And tailgating is encouraged as long as you don't have open flames.
Will definitely be back!
