Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer said Thursday that the Fresno Grizzlies will open their gates in the eighth inning, and people can enter Chukchansi Park for free on Saturday night.

Following the baseball game, the Grizzlies will launch their annual Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza.

Enter at Gate 3

Guests entering the stadium without a ticket should line up at Gate 3, which is at the corner of H and Inyo streets. All guests will be required to pass through a security check, which includes a bag inspection.

Residents who would like to experience the full Grizzlies game can buy tickets at www.FresnoGrizzlies.com, but are encouraged to act quickly, as this game is expected to sell out.
