Our games here start at 4:45PM or 5PM. I usually ride with my (regular) partner, so we arrive about 20 minutes or so before game time (we shoot for 30 minutes and usually miss that target by a few minutes). Absent a flat tire, I've never been late for a game.
We have jobs. I'm not showing up an hour beforehand to sit around and watch the teams warm up. I'm dressed and ready to hit the field to check the bats 5 minutes before the plate meeting.
Basketball and football? I'm there an hour or more before. They also play at night, when my work day is over.
