Question for locals

[The 12th Man]

I came all the way from WA state to see the Pats tonight! Near Gillette right now. My 2 part question:
1. I read on ticket that cameras or video recording is not allowed. I'm pretty sure people take pics at games all the time. Can I bring either onside?
2. What time do Pats players usually warm up? I really want to see them during stretches/warm ups closer.

Thanks in advance and go Patriots!

Mods please forgive and delete this thread as you wish after I get some feedback

Oh man, people could have some fun with this one. I'll resist and simply say that, yes, you may take pictures. I do all the time, unless something has changed and I don't know about it.

2. What time do Pats players usually warm up? I really want to see them during stretches/warm ups closer.

I typically show up in the stadium about 45 minutes before kickoff, get situated and such. Sometime between then and kickoff they're warming up. I showed up about 90 minutes before kickoff once (don't remember why) and saw Welker and Brady pitching and catching. I wish I had specifics, but that's the best thing I can tell you. Perhaps Tunescribe or one of the other long-time season ticket holders can tell you something definitive.

Thanks in advance and go Patriots!

Have fun. Kick a Jest fan.


j/k on the last part....sort of

Way to go 12th Man. I am jealous. Make sure to represent all of us from the Evergreen State very very loudly.

I'm pretty sure the policy is cameras are allowed, but large zoom lenses are not. I remember one game I brought my SLR camera and the security guy gave me a little bit of a hard time. Ended up letting me in, but not before making sure the zoom lens was shorter than the length of his hand. You shouldn't have any problem if it's a basic digital camera with no large lens.

Update: Here's a link to the stadium policies. No video cameras allowed. Still cameras are permitted. Although considering every cell phone has a built in video camera I'm not sure how they enforce that one.

Have a great time at the game.

Your questions appear to have been covered. That being said, have a beer for me and make some noise tonight!

Oh.. did you know Bledsoe has a winery (or something like that) in Walla Walla? Have you been there?

It's going to be VERY cold tonight. You'd better make it a beer and a shot!

Whats the deal with walking in via aschroft lane, and crossing over the tracks? Is this guarded? Also is there front yard parking along north street?

Have a great time at the game.

They're constantly changing policies. When I started with TeamOps, the lens couldn't be longer than our ID badge (credit card size. Last time I worked an event earlier this year, they were allowing all cameras.

As far as Ashcroft, if it's guarded it's by the cops. You won't get onto North Street without a pass.
