from what I have heard, you're not allowed down by the dugouts anymore before the game unless you have a ticket to sit down there. I think many of the season ticket holders were getting upset that people would be in their seats or in their way. on one hand, I can understand where they are coming from, they paid the big money to sit there, those are their seats. on the other hand, they are there all the time, whats the big deal for someone to try to get autographs 30 min before the game starts.
