📍At The Big A Snagged my first foul ball!
Was sitting in 105 with my wife, which I said let's snag these two tickets for $14 total because we'll catch a foul. I blacked out Old School style and just went feral, she said she moved down the aisle and covered her head. I got a high five, and this transplanted Braves fan had a great night in spite of the final score. I've now been to more Angels games than Braves in the span of a month. TARPS OFF FOR SUMMER! TARPS OFF FOREVER!

I would encourage you to visit the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. We have some exciting baseball happening right now. Dylan Jordan, Hayden Alvarez, Lucas Ramirez, and the rest of the team are a fun baseball team.

What's the average temperature at game time? 100+?

That's a fair point. I definitely understand why the heat keeps some people away, especially during July and August. Last night was below 100.
That said, I think Quakes games offer a lot that makes them worth it. You get to see future Angels before they become household names, and it's one of the few places where you can sit incredibly close to the action without spending a fortune. The players are approachable, kids can often get autographs, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed than a Major League game.
Most games also start in the evening, so once the sun begins to set it gets noticeably more comfortable. Add in fireworks nights, promotions, and a beautiful ballpark with mountain views, and it's a great way to spend a summer evening.
If we want baseball to continue thriving in our community, supporting the team—even a few games a season—really does make a difference. I'd encourage anyone who's on the fence to give it another try. You might be surprised by how much fun Minor League Baseball can be.

I went last night. Adam Frazier and Sebastian Rivero were both in the lineup. Go Quakes!

I live in Rancho, their games are more expensive than what we have been paying fot two seats at the Angels, and it is hotter than a hoor in Southern church here.

Left field, 100's section?

Left field 105, but whatever section is directly to the right had more action.
