and find a place on the terraced hills from which you can watch the
game. You may want to bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs.

not need a ticket for any of the other games. Seating for those games
in Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium is first come, first served.
It is suggested if you plan to sit in the stadiums, you arrive early.

Stadium. Please note that game passes may be distributed upon entering
either stadium to assist World Series ushers in controlling crowd
size. These passes are not available in advance and will be
distributed by ushers prior to the respective games.
