<p>OK everyone, anyone who has a favorite money-saving tip that they don't mind sharing, can you bust it out for your fellow Chasers? It doesn't need to be a secret thing, or a major league ballpark or anything, just talk about a place where you save on parking, or a food item that gives a lot of value, or a way to save on tickets that most people don't know about.</p>

<p>OK everyone, anyone who has a favorite money-saving tip that they don't mind sharing, can you bust it out for your fellow Chasers?

<p>Full disclosure here though: if you share a tip, it may find its way into a future "Ballpark E-Guide" (see <a href="http://www.BallparkEGuides.com">www.BallparkEGuides.com</a>)! So if you don't want a lot of people to know it, I wouldn't share it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm starting everyone off with three good ones:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, there is some free parking on South Lawrence St., about a half mile east of the ballpark. The side of the street with free parking is closest to the Bank; don't park on the other side of the street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- At Citi Field in New York, the Southfield commuter lot where people park before taking the 7 to work in Manhattan is $19 on game days (well, it was in 2010), but the game rate doesn't kick in until 9:00 AM for day games and at noon for night games, if the policy is still what it was last time I checked. You will have to occupy yourself for a few hours; shouldn't be a problem in NYC.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- At Yankee Stadium, you can get the "possible obstructed view" seats for $5 as of this writing; they are the seats near the Mohegan Sun restaurant that block a portion of the outfield. In the first 4-5 rows though, it's not a problem at all, and if you know how the seating works you can best avoid the obstruction. Just $5 to get into Yankee Stadium!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There you go, that's three...I know all of you have some sort of a "tightwad tip" you wouldn't mind sharing...c'mon, pass it on!</p>

Greetings Fellow Chasers-<br />
<br />
Sorry if this sounds like a plug, I'm trying to act like someone who knows something and is passing it on.<br />
<br />
I have spent the last year and a half or so working diligently on producing Major League ballpark guides. I have written about ten of them, and I was able to get pictures and create illustrated PDF format guides for four--Citi Field, Citizens Bank Park, Fenway Park, and Yankee Stadium. I should have Oriole Park and Nationals Park available sometime in April…

I have spent the last year and a half or so working diligently on producing Major League ballpark guides. I have written about ten of them, and I was able to get pictures and create illustrated PDF format guides for four--Citi Field, Citizens Bank Park, Fenway Park, and Yankee Stadium. I should have Oriole Park and Nationals Park available sometime in April 2011.<br />
<br />
I crammed these guides with as much information as I could find on getting tickets, where to sit, how to get there, where to park, what to eat, and other things like accessibility, fan behavior, nearby hangouts, etc.<br />
<br />
You can look at sample pages of these at <a href="http://www.BallparkEGuides.com">www.BallparkEGuides.com</a>. I wish the picture quality were better, the sample pages don't look as good as they do in the actual guide!<br />
<br />
Anyway, seriously, if any of you are planning a trip to any of these four ballparks, by all means have a look, and sign up for the newsletter if you like. They're just $5 and I am confident you will not regret spending a penny. You should save at least twice that much in one trip. I was quite surprised at what I found out researching these. And even if you're just a ballpark fan, I think you will find them to be enjoyable reading. If you have any questions, by all means shoot me an e-mail in the contact section.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time and best to you all, see you at the Yard!<br />

P.S. Again, sorry if it sounds like a plug, although I guess it is...just thought this is the exact audience I was going for.
