We don’t expect that these procedures will create any major inconvenience or lengthy delays.

When at the ballpark, always remember “if you see something, say something” to an usher, guest services representative or security officer.

Please do not reach over the wall onto the playing surface to retrieve foul balls, and please do not push/shove patrons in order to track down a foul ball.
