There are still regular seats available, as well as the usual bleacher section. To get into the bleachers for either to night's or tomorrow's game against the Detroit Tigers (tonight) and the Toronto Blue Jays (Friday), show up between 6:00 and 6:30 and you should have no porblem getting in for the 7:30 game...
