I will be there, trying to drown out my sister and her hubby who are Tar Hole fans… I have never been to a Niner baseball game before, or any collegiate baseball game for that matter. Heck, this will be only my second baseball game ever.
My advice to you would be to get there early today, especially if you have GA tickets. Parking will be terrible near the Hayes, so unless you get there really early, you will have to park at the Union Deck or one of the lots over there. The GA seats are also first come first serve, so its good to get there in time to get a good place to sit.

Will Phil and Judy be there? This usually the only game Judy attends but she may be on her way to Ohio to watch the women. Phil may view this game as an opportunity.
