Questions parents ask

How early should we arrive at the Bulls game? +

Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch. Arriving early lets kids watch batting practice and run the bases on Sundays. Parking decks fill up 30 minutes before the game.

Are tickets affordable for families? +

General admission lawn seats run $8-$12. Kids 2 and under are free. Tuesday and Wednesday games often have dollar dog and fireworks nights that make the outing extra budget-friendly.

Can kids meet the mascot? +

Wool E Bull roams the concourse during every game and poses for photos. He usually appears near the kids zone between the 3rd and 5th innings.
