Are you attending MLB games this season?

[Erstad Grit]

My wife and I just had a big talk and I'm curious what you are all doing.

We typically attend 10-15 games and this year we are pivoting to getting a suite for just one game. 

[Stradling]

I got information on a 20 came package.  I am waiting to pull the trigger for when they announce whether or not fans can attend and if so when they will allow us to start going to games.

How does that compare to what you typically would do? 

[angelsnationtalk]

Same here. All depends if they let us in. I'll gladly wear a mask, just let me in the damn stadium. 

I'll sit in those empty sections 501 or 540 if I have to do it. No one ever does anyways.

Since I gave up my season seats in 2015 I haven’t attended more than maybe 10 games in any given year.  What we have done with the extra money that we used to spend on season seats is travel.  I have seen the Angels play in Chicago, Texas and New York a few times.  We had a trip planned for Fenway last year but had to cancel it.

Nice! Except the canceling part

We've been going to at least 1 new stadium a summer. Last year it was supposed to be to be Twins.

I'd have to think that's "safer" than costco or Target

TMI.

[Angel Oracle]

For sure, want to see the Halos play in the new Home Depot looking stadium in Arlington.

You'd think, right?

[T.G.]

I haven't seen, read or heard anything on when, if or how many fans will be allowed into the stadium. If we're allowed in, I'd like to go, but it all depends... life happens.

[Second Base]

I typically attend 3-5 games a year. But I won't be in the stands until they get rid of the ridiculous mask restrictions and social distancing. 

[failos]

I wish

[Pancake Bear]

I'm skeptical about when it might be open. When it is, price and demand might push me out, but in theory I would definitely want to go.

Bingo.

One year ago - to the week, in fact -  I planned out two vacations: one just me, one with my parents. I spent a little over $1K on baseball tickets, the vast majority of which were for minor league games - all of which were “postponed,” which meant no refund until they were officially cancelled. I did not receive a refund for any of those minor league games until the end of July, and I definitely could have used it sooner, because, like many people, work took a major hit during the pandemic. 

This season, I won’t be buying tickets until I know for sure that I’m going and the game will be played. I certainly won’t get my choice of prime seats, but I can’t afford to lend money to baseball teams (or Ticketmaster) for five months like I did last year. 

[floplag]

i dont attend more than a handful due to distance travel and no longer having family in the area to crash etc... but, my plan for this year is unchanged.  I still plan to attend some when i can turn it into a weekend thing to justify the trip
I will follow whatever guidelines they give us to get back to something resembling normal.

Thank him for the offer and tell him ill let him know when im in town.

[Jason]

I haven't been to a game in three years so I doubt it. 

[T.G.]

The sad part is I can't even watch on TV.  We got rid of cable and then Hulu dropped FSN.  Looks like the only option is cable or AT&T. 

[PattyD22]

Our season seats just rolled over from last year to this year, so I feel like I'm playing with house money.  I plan to attend as many games as possible, as long as we can do so safely.

I have really missed the "in person" aspect of things I used to do.  It's been a real downer, and I can't wait to be able to get back to a slight bit of normalcy.  This would be a great step towards that.

My wife and I also plan on taking our annual Spring Training trip to Tempe near the end of March for our birthdays, and are planning to catch the Angel/Dodger game at Diablo on March 23rd.

I have no reservation about attending events in person, regardless if we have to wear masks.  It's a small sacrifice to get back to normal, IMO.

[EdmontonAngelsFan]

Living in Canada makes it hard to attend any games this year with the border restrictions and all the testing we have to go through. 

I'll try and watch all the games on TV, like usual.
