- Use more sunscreen than you think you’ll need. Most games take place in the bright of day.
- Manage your water wisely. Area ballparks typically allow you to enter with a sealed one-liter bottle. You can also ask for a courtesy cup at the concession stand. Either way, you can refill at the water fountain throughout the game—and save yourself an outrageous $3 for a half-liter bottle.
