Where do visiting baseball teams stay, like the Red Sox?

Planning a trip in April, for opening day, Texas against the Red Sox. Does anyone one in Red Sox nation know where the team stays (or has stayed) when they are in town? Trying to put my boys in position to get an autograph or see some players. Plus, it%26#39;s probably not a bad hotel! Anyone been there, done that?

I would assume they stay somewhere in Arlington, which is great because its got all the big box chain restaurants you could dream of, plus Six Flags Over Texas (the original Six Flags that started them all).





Kids love a day in Arlington.





As for the signatures... I%26#39;ve always found that the Ballpark in Arlington is really accessable for kids a few hours before the games to meet players and get their signatures.





Have fun! Go BoSox. And I%26#39;m a Dallas native.

A few times when we stayed at the Wyndham next door to the Ballpark, visiting teams were staying there. I don%26#39;t know if they would tell you but you could ask!




Arlington is a whole different destination than Dallas, isn%26#39;t it? I%26#39;ll post my question in the Arlington forum, too, and check out the Wyndham, thanks. Is Six Flags usually open the first weekend in April?





We like to arrive early at the ballpark for autographs, too, but have found the Red Sox players to be the toughest to get.




I think most folks who read/answer the Arlington forum probably do the Dallas forum as well. Six Flags should be open the first weekend in April. I have to agree with the Ballpark strategy as well. When we saw teams at the Wyndham, there were discrete signs posted about not approaching visitng team members for autographs. Hope you enjoy the Ballpark- it is a great place to go for a game. Stay as close as you can- as you can imagine, the traffic totally mad for opening day and/ or weekend.




I think your better option might be to talk to someone at the Ballpark at Arlington and/or find out where the team exits the game every night. Usually, there is a designated location where they leave and players often stop to sign autographs for fans waiting outside. I scored autographs that way when I lived in Houston growing up. Most people don%26#39;t think about it because it is usually after the game.
