On a pleasant summer night, one thing that can be especially fun is attending a baseball game, but if you do not have a Major League team in your area (or if those tickets are too expensive!), an awesome alternative – in fact, an alternative that many people find to be more fun – is going to a minor league baseball game. Regardless of whether or not you care about either of the teams playing – in fact, regardless of whether or not you enjoy baseball at all – you can still have a lot of fun attending a minor league baseball game, especially if you follow these simple suggestions.

Sit behind the screen: If you are going to a game in which you do not care about either team, you are likely to find yourself spending a lot of time during the game chatting with the people around you and not paying close attention to the game – but if you are doing this, you will want to make sure you are sitting somewhere behind home plate, so the screen will protect you from the foul balls that might otherwise be dangerous!

Buy a program: Even if you are not particularly interested in either team, it can be fun to peruse a program for a minor league game, because you can get to know a bit more about these players you have never heard of before; after all, some of these players just might be in the Majors a few years from now!

Show up late, leave early: If you are just going to the game to enjoy the experience and a pleasant night outdoors, realize that you do not have to be there the moment the game starts, and you do not have to wait until the game ends before you leave; show up whenever you want and leave whenever you feel like it, and you will feel a lot happier with your night!

A minor league baseball game is a great idea for a date or for a family outing, and if you keep these suggestions in mind, it will be that much more enjoyable!
