For MLB fans, waiting in lines to enter the ballpark may be a thing of the past before long. On Wednesday, the league announced that it is launching "Go-Ahead Entry," which would allow registered fans to walk through the gates without stopping. The pilot program of Go-Ahead Entry will be implemented in conjunction with the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. If a registered fan is coming with a group, every ticket associated with the Go-Ahead Entry user will be validated as they enter the park. If this new Go-Ahead Entry system is effective, fans may not have to worry about missing the first pitch while waiting to get through the gate anymore.
