<p>Hi Jennifer, we had already booked KC&STL several months ago so heading there in July. We are taking the light rail from airport to downtown hotel and walking to stadium and around area. At our hotel there is a Enterprise rent-a-car so we'll rent it for the drive to KC and drop off in KC. Staying at Drury for 1 night. Won't matter much if not a great hotel stay but reviews say it is a nice stay. Going to Padres, Angels and Dodgers next week as I'll be in SoCal for a conference and ALL 3…</p>
<p>Hi Jennifer, we had already booked KC&STL several months ago so heading there in July. We are taking the light rail from airport to downtown hotel and walking to stadium and around area. At our hotel there is a Enterprise rent-a-car so we'll rent it for the drive to KC and drop off in KC. Staying at Drury for 1 night. Won't matter much if not a great hotel stay but reviews say it is a nice stay. Going to Padres, Angels and Dodgers next week as I'll be in SoCal for a conference and ALL 3 SoCal teams are actually playing HOME GAMES during June 1-5 so will make it 20 stadiums after KC-STL in July. 20 out of 30 ain't too shabby. =)</p>
<p>After this trip, I'll opt for the CIN/PIT trip for sure as I really want to visit Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback and have a blast in Texas!</p> Juan G. Ruiz, any parking tip…tag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2015-05-25:1681163:Comment:2117182015-05-25T04:25:11.046ZJennifer Cole (28)https://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/JenniferCole
<p>Juan G. Ruiz, any parking tips for Marlins stadium? I don't want to walk far after the game with my son and concerned about how the cops might route traffic afterwords. Can't always trust the exit traffic plan will match your GPS. We're staying in Miami Beach so after the game need easy access to 836 E</p>

<p>We're at 17 parks, including Wrigley, Fenway, AT&T, PNC...some of the best. STL is one of, if not THE best baseball cities in the country. Stadium is very nice, it's not Fenway but nothing is, right? The light rail is super easy to use and many hotels downtown, too. We also did KC last summer and loved it. It's in the middle of no where so book early if you want to be at one of two hotels in walking distance. Otherwise, drive and park. It's not a new, fancy stadium but it's pure to the…</p>
<p>We're at 17 parks, including Wrigley, Fenway, AT&T, PNC...some of the best. STL is one of, if not THE best baseball cities in the country. Stadium is very nice, it's not Fenway but nothing is, right? The light rail is super easy to use and many hotels downtown, too. We also did KC last summer and loved it. It's in the middle of no where so book early if you want to be at one of two hotels in walking distance. Otherwise, drive and park. It's not a new, fancy stadium but it's pure to the spirit of the game. PNC is one of our favorites, bc shooting hot dogs from air guns isn't the coolest thing ever! Sit upper decks on the first base line for a view to the river. Cincy has a fantastic "baseball city" all around the ballpark. Plenty of places to hang out pre-game. We enjoyed the Reds museum tour but stadium tour was average. STL stadium tour was great, very informed tour guide, lots of tradition to share. Heading to TX this summer but I def vote for the midwest+PNC itinerary.</p> Hi Juan, I plan on staying ar…tag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2015-03-04:1681163:Comment:2078912015-03-04T03:59:03.817ZZach Wymanhttps://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/ZachWyman
<p>Hi Juan, I plan on staying around the beaches. I hear Marlins Park is in the Little Havana neighborhood so I'm wondering if that's a way from there. Still looking for something affordable to stay around the beaches.</p>

<p>Dustin, Once you have seen all the current ballparks, you may find you love it when teams build new ballparks! Nothing beats the excitement of seeing a game at a new venue, plus it gives you an excuse to do some more sightseeing. I'm already looking forward to Atlanta in 2017, and am hoping MLB will finally play some games in Europe.</p>

Bill, if you can squeeze the Toledo Mud Hens game in, I highly recommend it. I took the family to see them this past summer as we did a short minor league baseball tour of Ohio and Indiana. We really enjoyed the Mud Hens game. Good luck.

<p>Hey Zach,</p>
<p>South Florida is enormous so if you're coming to Miami, I can offer tips. Otherwise, Fort Lauderdale and WPB aren't my areas of strength. July is scorching hot down here but that's why we have fantastic beaches.Where do you plan on staying?</p>

<p>Definitely doing Jack Stacks and looking at the Sheraton and Drury Inn (different hotels) as my place of lodging for 1 night. I've used urbanspoon in the past, good app. I keep hearing PNC is best park. Will save it for next year. Thanks for your feedback, Gary.</p>
