![]() The National Anthem was sung by a local vocalist and she brought down the house. Um, YES!!! So if your child is feeling lucky, make sure to get there early. ![]() He just walked up to our outfielder in the Budweiser Berm and asked if he’d like to hand out the game ball. One of our precious outfielders was chosen at random for this awesome opportunity by a Trash Pandas staff member. Not only have we been lucky enough to be on the best little league team, but we’ve made some amazing memories this season, and this game was no exception. It was really great quality and we were all impressed that it was FREE! Our Little League team had a blast! Pre-Game Funīefore our game, one child was randomly chosen from the crowd to hand out the game ball on the field. Our entire team received a free Trash Pandas bobblehead. Pro Tip: Make sure to pay attention to the giveaway for the day and arrive early if you want it. Our large group was inside the ballpark in less than 10 minutes. There are actually three lines (remember this) and they all move rather quickly. When you get there, the line to get in looks like you’re about to enter a major theme park, but I promise, it’s really not that long. For more information on the bag policy, click here. Special exceptions to this rule are made for diaper bags and medical needs. Toyota Field only allows each fan to carry one 12”x12”圆” clear bag and one 4.5”圆.5” clutch with or without a strap. ![]() You’ll also need to prepare accordingly with your bags. Leave your knives and pepper spray at home. You’re going to have to walk through a metal detector. I’m used to walking through a metal detector to enter a sporting event. I went to the University of Miami in the 90s. the outside lines at Toyota Stadium can be long but move fast. Toyota Field is a cashless venue, so you’ll either need to prepay for parking before the game or pay with a debit or credit card when you enter the parking lot. There’s also plenty of parking for everyone.ĬOST: Parking is $9.28 on the day of the event or $6.75 if you prepay online before game day. There are now many entrances into the parking lot, allowing traffic to flow fairly smoothly and alleviating those opening day traffic situations. ![]() But other than a situation getting out of Decatur, traffic was like rolling up to a well-oiled Chick-Fil-A drive thru. Our minivan brigade left early and used every traffic app known to a smart phone, plus our hilariously epic little league team Group Me to warn everyone else in our party of any hiccups on the road. I’d heard the horror stories of opening day lines and prepared accordingly. If you can do that, you can easily navigate the Trash Panda traffic and parking situation. I survive the elementary school car line every day. Kids can stand along the rail at the bottom of the berm to cheer on the Trash Pandas right fielder, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a foul ball. The $8 lawn seats on the Budweiser Berm have no chair backs, and you can’t bring in chairs, so remember to bring a blanket to sit on. You can’t beat the Berm for inexpensive seats – just bring a blanket! No matter where you chose to sit, children under the age of two don’t need a ticket if they can sit on your lap. There’s not a bad seat in the house, so no matter what your budget for baseball watching might be, you’re going to have a fantastic view of all the action. Single game tickets range from $8 to $55 each. There are seats for groups, for date nights, and for families. It’s hassle-free and easy, especially if you’re herding cats (I mean, wrangling a bunch of kids).ĬOST: Our team chose the $8 lawn seats because we had our entire team, siblings, friends, coaches, and parents, but there are so many options to choose from depending on your game watching situation. Once you purchase your tickets online, you can manage them right from your smart phone. By some miracle it happened and she easily purchased everyone’s tickets online through the Trash Panda website. “Sure,” we all said, but also realizing how difficult it would be to gather all 12 players and their families and actually go. Trash Pandas Baseball with Kids Ticketing and SeatingĪt one of our last games, our dugout coach/team mom threw out the idea that we should all go to a Trash Pandas game. Here’s my story of how we took an entire little league baseball team to a Trash Pandas game and not only survived, but had the most amazing day. The Trash Pandas franchise is focused on fun and it’s awesome. Coincidentally, that’s exactly what’s been going on at Toyota Field. It’s simply because the kids and all the families on our team approached the sport of baseball for what it is…a really fun game. It hasn’t been about how many games they’ve won or home runs they’ve hit. This year, my son has been fortunate enough to be a part of the most extraordinary little league team.
