Gates at BB&T Ballpark open an hour and five minues prior to game time. For a 7:04pm game, gates will open at 6:00pm. For a 5:05pm game, gates will open at 4:00pm For a 2:05pm game, gates will open at 1:00pm.
Round down the time of the first pitch to the nearest hour, then subtract 1 hour. That will always be when the gates open. SOURCE: The mascot told me
