Wrigley GA - How will it work?
I have GA tix for Wrigley 2. This will be my first GA show. How early should I plan to arrive to make sure I am at least somewhat close?
Is it the kinda thing where I need to plan to camp out front the night before the show? Or even earlier than that? Or are they going to do something like Foo does with numbered wristbands?

Then go around telling everyone else that the lineup is in a different spot.
BOOM!
A good spot.
Line up the morning of the show for the rail, on the side.
Line up at 7pm for row 3.

Being stuck outside that angle looks like it'd be terrible and worse than being further back. It's my first GA and I am wondering similar questions about how early to at least not be outside the stage.
The only GA I've been in so far was Vancouver 2013 and we grabbed our tickets around 2pm and the "list" had over 100 people on it. That wasn't going to get us rail so we bought merch, went back to the hotel to drop it off, met Mike McCready when leaving the hotel, and good/dinner beers. Got back for doors at 6:30 and ended up about 6th row straight in front of Ed. That was a good day
I was picturing the entire field being GA and was worried I'd be a hundred fifty feet back, standing on the pitcher's mound, unless I camped out.
Now that seems unnecessary.
Although, if they honor that number system again, it might be worth it to wake up early on Monday and head over just in case.
Thanks a million for all the input guys and girls. I love this community so much. I really should be more active.
