Hi Craig Thanks for the note. My son and I will be vising Kaufmann Field on Aug 9 and 10. Hoping for great weather and games. Thanks again for the welcome.

Hi Craig, thanks for the welcome. I signed up over the weekend during a 5 park visit in 6 days this last week with my 14 year old son. I live in KC so we started there: Minn@KC on 7/31, SF@NYM on 8/1, NYY@Bos on 8/3, Det@NYY on 8/4 and NYM@Wash on 8/5. Originally from NY, I'm a Met fan. I signed up after I found the site when I was searching something and thought I'd look for tips...cool site! This was the 1st stadium binge we've done and I've been to 7 or so other parks if you include Shea and the old Yankee Stadium. We're thinking about another trip next year(west coast) and I'll be asking for tips/advice. 1 glitch I had this year was in DC...took the train in and hoteled at Dulles for a next morning flight...bad idea because of the distance and I paid for it. I haven't perused the site much, but would ask if there's a section for "tips of the trade"...may be a good add if there isn't already one.
Thanks again for the welcome and I'll be following stuff on here...
Thanks Craig - great site. To answer your question, yes, I just returned from Colorado last night. We also did Atlanta, Tampa and Miami this summer. My son is 10 years old and we are on pace to finish all 30 ballparks by the time he's 14. We only have 14 more to go. I'm a huge Yankee fan living in Texas. We haven't been to the new stadium yet, that's going to be the last one we do, along with a side trip to Cooperstown. Funny thing is, we have been to every stadium in the northeast other than Yankee stadium. Save the best for last I guess. (At least for a Yankee fan). Keep up the great work on the site. I'll post some pics from our past trips in the near future.
Hey Craig... Just joined the site and so far it's pretty cool! Ihad to tell my brother about it since he and I have been always comparing stadiums and trying to out number each other...
I'm not sure if you've thought of this or heard this in the forums but I have a suggestion. I am wondering if you ever thought to put out the retired stadiums out there on the Ball park Map? I know I have visited a few stadiums that don't show up on the map anymore like County Stadium in Milwaukee, The old Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego, and Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. I am sure there are others but these are the ones that I've been at.
Thanks, Craig, for the warm welcome. I just returned from AT&T Park (first visit), and earlier this season returned to Yankee Stadium, Dodger Stadium and Safeco Field. No plans for the rest of the season because a minor surgery will derail travel for a while. Glad to have stumbled on this site to find others interested in visiting all the parks.
No big trips planned for the second half. I'm fortunate that I live outside of Philly, so it's really easy for me to take day trips to 5 or so MLB parks, and a dozen or more MiLB stadiums. Once the kids get a bit older I hope to make more and bigger/longer trips.
Yes, planning a trip end of August to see relatives in the Twin Cities. Driving to see the St Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals along with a pit stop on the way to catch the Omaha Cubs. Have tickets for KC and the Cubs, but finding the Cards tickets very pricy because my wife doesn't like to sit up high. Any suggestions? Thanks and love your website! Chris
Hi Craig-- Thanks! I found your group while researching a trip to see the Nationals park in August by way of NYC where we will attend a game at new Yankee Stadium. We did the southern 3 in California last month. Any suggestions for traveling from NYC to Washington DC and for safe lodging near the park. Any suggestions would be great. THANKS!
We will probably get up to Seattle for a game but we've had a busy summer so no big trips this year. I'm really hoping to do a California/Arizona trip next summer to see games there. There's so many teams to see in that area.
No plans for 2nd a 2nd half trip. I'm just back from a trip to Phoenix, LA, SF & Oakland which saw me add Chase Field to my list. I also caught games at Dodgers Stadium, AT&T and o.co Colisuem all ballparks I've been to before along with Angels Stadium and Petco in that area.
Being an Indians fan from Manchester, England in the UK I don't get to the States that often but try to fit in trips with the Indians schedule, so Phoenix and LA and other big series SF-Oakland this time. Although I follow baseball closely from here. Helped by the MLB.TV subscription.
The next trip is likely to be the mid-west for Kansas, St Louis and Colorado.
Just got back from a great trip to Chicago. Saw 2 night games and one day game. Was 65 degrees at U.S. Cell on the Wednesday day game. Sat in first row behind the Royals dugout for the Monday night and Wednesday day game. Was in a suite for the Tuesday night game. What a great atmosphere and great fans in Chicago!
I am probably making a day trip to St. Louis before too long to catch a game. I am actually in the early stages of planning a trip to a ballpark I haven't seen yet for later this season. I have it narrowed down... to about 10. :-)
I am excited to use the site. I like it already. Thank you!
Craig, Thanks! Sunday in Cleveland was the halfway point, game #15. We head to Detroit on Friday and Toronto on Sunday. We should have 25 games completed by mid August. Great website and Facebook page.

Great site!
I am hoping to see Target Field in August or maybe see the Brew Crew play the Giants over labor day...
Craig - what a great site you've created here!

I'd love to hear your feedback on this idea - http://www.ballparkchasers.com/forum/topics/mobile-app-web-site-for-planning-milb-mlb-trip - are you aware of any site or app that does this?

Thank you! I Just got back from Cleveland. Progressive Field is now checked off my list. Still learning about this website. Thanks!

No. We just did Minnesota and St. Louis (both vs. Rays) and we won all 3 games we saw and swept both series! SO that was Fun!

Just got back actually from PNC in Pittsburgh, what an amazing stadium. We had a great time, next up is a trip to Camden Yards hopefully in August
Yes my family and I are going to Cleveland in September and maybe Pittsburgh. Thanks

Gonna try for Rodgers Centre at the end of July, possibly just a day trip only 3 hours from Detroit.
Thanks for the message. I'm headed to Detroit next week. Ballpark #28 for me.
