I'm part of a group trying to see all of the parks, but are losing some of the checked off parks due to replacement. Last year we saw games in PNC, Citizens Bank Park and Citi Field. This year it was AT&T, O.co and Safeco. We're waiting to see if Biggio gets inducted before we make next year's plans.

We (my husband,two teenage boys, and I) just went to Denver this year. Saw two games and toured the stadium.....7 more to go!! This is such a great site!!! I can't believe how many people have the same dream as us!

I went to Atlanta at the end of July and Denver in the middle of September. Saw the Cardinals play both times. The game at Coors Field was the last home stand with Todd Helton and he hit a homerun in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings.

Did Miami last year and Dodger Stadium (repeat) this year. I live in Hawaii so it's not that easy to get places, but so far I've done Angels, Mariners, A's, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, and Marlins. I'm almost positive I'm going to do a road trip this coming April and get Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Orioles, Nationals, and possibly Toronto as well. I tried pinning stadiums I've attended but not sure if it stays posted.

Hey Craig! Thanks for the note! We had a major trip this summer. I promised my son, about four years ago, that we would visit all the ballparks by the time he graduates from high school. The first summer, we did a mid-west run. The next summer, we picked up two (Marlins & Braves). We had tickets for the Tampa but ended up not making the game because my son's baseball tournament ran longer than expected. Last summer(2012), we did a west run that went from Colorado to Arizona and then to California. This past summer (2013) we did a north-east run. We got 11 games/stadiums in a 21 day trip that covered 5000 miles in the car. It was a blast. My just- out-of-college daughter accompanied us on this trip and various others in the family flew in to catch parts of the trip as well. We have three stadiums left: Tampa, Seattle and we are saving our hometown, Houston (though we go constantly, we haven't done it officially - penants, hats, shirts, baseballs, etc). Phew, long answer, right!

Hey Craig, Thanks for the welcome. I have been to all my home states (California)ballparks but wasn't able to get to any games this year. It has been my life's goal to take a summer long trip and visit all the ballparks. I played in the Dodger organization in the early 80's and played in some memorable minor league parks. So in a few years when I set off to hit the big league fields I am going to incorporate the minor leagues into that trip. I hope to see over 100 ballparks. I am a few years out on this trip but this website has really encouraged me to start planning some of it now. Thanks again for the great resources and site. Andy

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the welcome! I only made it to 1 MLB game this year, which was the Cubs vs Mariners at Safeco field. I did make it to 3 MILB stadiums. Usually make it to 2-3 Mariners games/year, and this site is inspiring me to eventually see all 30 MLB stadiums! 21 to go, it will likely be over time, but I am thinking more and more about some 4-5 stadiums trips. Your site is fun and inspiring, I am enjoying reading all the reviews, experiences and information! I am looking more and more at picking up one of those "Passports", although it seems expensive, I guess I am addicted!

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks. Made it to Dodger Stadium for the second to last home game. Looking forward to next season and checking out other ballparks.

I was able to visit Wrigley Field this summer and take the tour. A great game followed against the Washington Nationals. Next on my list is to see the Tigers.

Thanks Craig. The only trips for me this year were to the Rogers Centre. I did however manage team Canada at the Little League World Series so Lamade and Volunteer Stadiums are now off my list. I'll throw a blog post up about those parks and some fun things about the LLWS. Planning a honeymoon for next summer with either a mid west ballpark tour or a California. We shall see.

Hi Craig! I was able to see Turner Field in August on a trip to Georgia! If all goes well, I will be adding a few more stops in 2014... Citizens bank, Camden Yards & target field are on the most likely list for next year! But I kind of go where the wind takes me!

This is a great website. I'm hoping to get a few of my diehard baseball buddies to join. This season I got to a few parks. Not all for the first time, but I got to Wrigley, Arlington, and Comerica Park. I'm moving to Chicago from Michigan this year. So, next year I'm hoping to get to some of the nearby parks in St. Louis, Milwaukee, and U.S. Cellular. Does this site have any place to log "former" parks? I grew up going to the "old" Tiger Stadium in Detroit and have been to the "old" Yankee Stadium. The west coast and deep south are the furthest from me. For now, I'm going to try to complete the midwest parks. My in-laws are in Vancouver. So, Safeco is on the horizon too. ~John

Thanks for the welcome. I do a minimum of one planned trip each year with my Dad. This year for the California teams in May. 8 Days in CA - all five MLB, 4 MiLB, one college game, and threw in a NHL game (LA Kings) as well. Incredible trip!! I'm on the east coast (DC area) so the other stadiums this year were DC, Balt, and Cinn.

On the planning table next year is the College World Series, but details haven't been worked out yet.

Great place you got here!!

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, we did Coors Field and Kauffman Stadium this summer. Looking forward to next season now that we found this site and have the benefit of others' experiences!

Hi Craig! Thanks for the message. I actually just got back from Wrigley and Miller. The reviews here were very helpful. Keep up the good work!

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the welcome, this is a really cool site. Thanks for putting it together. This year I did what I like to call the "Missouri 2-step", which obviously is KC and St Louis. It was great because I got to see both of my NY teams. Yankees in KC and Mets in StL. Also got to experience Comerica Park with 4 games in 3 days (day/night double header). Which was quite phenomenal because my friend/host for the weekend got a suite for all 4 games. All access around that park was quite insane. Next year I'd like to hit about 4 more parks (Houston, Fenway, Cleveland and PNC). Maybe Miller and one more go around at Wrigley before the renovations start. TB is on my short list because who knows how much longer the Trop will be there.
