Player availability
Workouts: Early in camp, before the games start, is a good time to see all the Rockies on the back fields and practice areas. Workouts are free. Fans can sit in the bleachers and get an up-close view of batting practice.
Autographs: Autograph seekers usually have success during spring training. Before the games start, players are often receptive to signing between workouts on the back practice fields. When the exhibition schedule begins, autograph hunters line up outside the Rockies’ clubhouse door around 11 a.m. Players will sometimes sign after games on the dugout steps or as they exit down the right-field line.
