Chase Field opens its gates two hours prior to each home game. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to watch batting practice, infield workouts and the pre-game ceremonies. There will be some dates during the season (generally when a day game follows a night game) that the team may elect to skip batting practice, infield practice or both. Listed below is a countdown for a typical 6:40 PM game.
