They do have an escalator and we took it down, but even getting to your seats meant climbing on steps. It had a souvenir shop but all I really saw was caps and shirts. Least they had my pennant. Always collect pennants and a shirt whereever I go.…

I visited this park back in 2000 (when it was first open). I commented on the parking dilema, as well. At the time I went, there was an escalator that brought one up all those steps. Guess they've replaced that with steps. Did you notice the visit…

Tim added a discussion to the group Minor League Ballparks
I was really hoping for a good experience at Chattanooga, but unfortunately, I felt a little disappointed. Heading there was actually a little tricky. When you get off of Highway 27 and it is right there in your face. I was thinking, "Great! I can g…

Not to sound mean but I have a feeling this might be not one of the better parks that will be built. Heard traffic in that area where it is built will be a mega-nightmare and I just do not see Miami as a great MLB town.

I grew up in Detroit and had the joy of listening to Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey. And whenever the Tigers played out West, I would set my radio on WJR and listened to the Tigers. He was truly the voice of summer. And he'll always be remembered. He…

When I get older and hopefully claim all 30 MLB ballparks, the one thing I want to do is to go to these regions where Minor League cities are all close by (i.e. Appalachian League, Florida League, and the California League) and take in a game each w…

My Take on Comerica Park and Progressive Field

Been a while since my last update on here, but I did end up getting to my ballparks this year of Texas, Detroit, and Cleveland. I loved Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and rank it high on my list. Now I went to Comerica 6 years ago but a lot has changed with that park and Progressive Field, which I have heard mixed reviews on, even by my friends who went to that park.

I'll start with Comerica Park. I am probably biased since I'm a diehard Tigers fan. But I thought the stadium was great, even sinc… Continue

My Take on Rangers Ballpark in Arlington

Just got back from my trip to Dallas and caught two Rangers/Blue Jays games there. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington was definitely a great stadium. It was big but had a homely feel to it. It was clean, and it was baseball, Texas-style.

In terms of the stadiums I've been to, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington is one of my favorites and there were so many good things about it. That being said, there were some things I DIDN'T like about it. Notably the scoreboard and that anything on the right field line… Continue

The 2010 Baseball Season That Might Be And My 2010 Ballpark Chase

It has been a while but when the season is over I kinda go into hibernating on here so my apologies to my friends who think I dropped off the face of the earth. That and it drives me bonkers seeing pictures of stadiums before the season starts and I can't go anywhere for months because baseball season isn't around.

Well, it is back and I can't wait.

I saw the recent blog of 2010 Predictions and I'll go with mine. Mine might be skewered, but still...my predictions are my predictions. :)

AL Win… Continue

Cincinnati

Over the first week of the season, my wife graciously let me drive up to Cincinnati to catch a couple of Mets/Reds games at Great American Ballpark for my 3rd anniversary. It might be the only park I'll end up getting to in 2009 considering it is the closest MLB city to Atlanta (Tampa is the other one and I've already been to that) and my schedule is up in the air. Next year it's either the Cell or Kauffman.

The funny part is, when it comes to new stadiums and these "reviews" I have read from p… Continue

Big Apple Baseball

My wife & I took our annual trip to a city with a baseball stadium. And for the 2nd straight year, we went to two stadiums. It was Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. Leading up to the trip, I was told that Yankee Stadium was the gem of all gems while Shea was the MLB dump.

After watching games at both stadiums, I can say that I was disappointed with one and surprised with the other.

For Yankee Stadium, I thought it was an okay place to watch a game. It was nothing like I hoped it would be re… Continue
