Hey folks,

I know it's not until March, but anyone have any good Spring Training tips? Like how far in advance do you have to buy tickets, which parks are better,  where to get close to the players (my son would love to hang with Kurt Suzuki, for example) nearby hotels, etc?

I see that the A's boosters organize a trip each year, but since I'm not retired, I can probably only make it to two games max. Any thoughts would be most appreciated!
