I have wanted to try to go early in the players parking lot and ask for autos, but i never knew what time i should get there. If it is a 7:05 game, what is the usual time most players get there and when should i get there. Thanks

The last time I went to a game that early was when the Braves played at Fulton County stadium, so it has been at least 11 years. Anyway, the players back then just came in and drove into some type of gated area. You didn't have any access to them in the parking lot. I don't think you will be able to get any autographs in the player's parking lot, but things might have changed.

at oriole park (which is where i will be going) the player have to exit the gated lot and go into the stadium from the back and between those two places is where you will be able to get autos, but you still didnt answer my question what time is the best time to get there to try and get autos

i got just the info you need arrive cause i ve done this for the o s before
arrive at 2 for the parking lot and the away team will most likely have the players dropped off at the corner, of where if you turn right you go onto a street that leads you into the tunnel and the players will be dropped off in taxi cabs and have to walk into the stadium i ve never seen anyone not sign that has to do this. Some of the players on the away team will take a bus in which case they are dropped off in the tunnel and autographs are inaccessible for people that get dropped off their. Also for the home team the players will park in a gated fence and run up to the fence near where their car is parked and ask for their auto. They will sometimes come to you and sign or in some cases a golf cart will take them down the ramp into the tunnel as soon as they get out of their car and they wont sign. If their is no golf cart and the players doesnt sign as soon as they get out of their car the player has either two options 1. to take a stairway that will end at the end of the ramp going into the tunnel or walk out of the parking lot and down the ramp. In which case you want to be positioned across from the parking lot entrace along the railing and sometimes players like jay gibbons and john parrish will wak their and sign. That is usually where you want to wait for the players to pull in. But in regards to what entrance the player will take you just have to be ready to run to their car and try them their and then to the fence behind the stairs where markakis and loewen signed. AHHHH my hands are tired. If you need any more info just ask

Just wait for them once they have left the car and the immediate parking area. The one area I used to go to (this was after the game, not before) was outside the locker room as it leads to the parking lot. No traffic dangers, then.
