Oh yeah, how early? And what do you mean by "behind home plate?" Are you talking lower level, or what? I stood behind home plate, lower level, for a couple innings. You are at the back of the field level, directly behind home plate. But there are lots of good places to stand on the lower level. You can stand pretty much all the way down each line. There is also a tower with two levels in right field, to the right of the scoreboard (the left field one isn't finished yet). It's up high, but it's a nice place to stand for an inning or two if you like being up higher. Cool, thanks for the advice!
