Texas!

Fortunate to attend this year's SAS Global Forum conference in Dallas last week, and that the Rangers and Astros were in town! Knocked off two more on my way to 30, with just 8 teams and 9 parks left to visit. I'll get that down to 7 and 7 later this summer. I'll post up some pictures of my two games.

Cheers!

tickets

I am very excited to do a three game trip to the east coast with my father this year. He has no intention on achieving all 30 stadiums like I do, but this will be the 7th, 8th, and 9th ballpark i have dragged him to and will be my 22nd, 23rd, and 24th ballparks. The greatest stadium was Tiger Stadium! I respect all stadiums, but there was nothing more special than my grandfather taken my dad and I to a ballpark that his grandfather would take his father and him to when he was a kid! The new… Continue

Toronto trip

So I plan on seeing Toronto as my very last stadium to see in my quest to visit all the stadiums. I only chose to see them last is because the flight out to toronto is so expensive its ridiculous to even consider it. Not to mention everything else that goes with it. I need advice how can you get to toronto with a cheap airline and hotel to get to the stadium and back. I wanna hear from the others who been to toronto from the west coast since i live in california

Chicago hotels

After many years of threatening my wife I was going to embark on this journey, I began it last year. Going to San Diego and Miami parks.



This year is Braves, Cubs and White Sox.

Can anyone give info on decent places to stay in Chicago that is near the ball parks? I will not have a car and the distance between parks seems to be about 11 miles but have never been there and have no idea a good neighborhood from bad.

Not looking to stay in a flea bag motel, but not the 4… Continue

Nat's Park in June

Starting in Washington to see my Cubbies in every park the 4th thru the 7th. Staying in Arlington (Crystal City), Metro a block away from hotel. Have paper tickets to 4 games and was wondering if I can get the real ticket from customer service once I enter the park (for scrapbook purposes)? Also, which Ballpark Passport book should I buy? Am I missing anything? Please let me know.

1st park of the season

Hit my 1st park of the season last week going back to PNC which is one of my favorites for sure. Im not a Pirates fan but its really a great place to see a game, great fans there. It also seems to be one of the few remaining parks that still offers soft serve ice cream.

Notes from the purple pessimist – one win does not a season make

The Rockies beat Milwaukee 10-0 today, and I could care less!

Tomorrow night, it'll probably be tied 1-1 in the ninth with Ryan Braun laying down a suicide squeeze bunt – Rockies will lose 2-1, LOL.

The Rockies don't have any depth in their pitching rotation to begin with, and certainly can't withstand a big injury adding to the ones that already exist in the pitching staff. The Rockies will win 70 games, and only 70, in 2015.

Inquiry on Gameday Travel to Colorado, Bay Area

Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm back and I am ready to go exploring many of the ballparks in this country this summer! I will have some extra cash because I graduate and I get a trip or two that I am planning for leisure. My goal is to see some more parks!

With that being said, I am thinking of visiting family in Colorado Springs for a week. This would naturally mean that I would have been accompany me in a Rockies game and would like to know what time to leave might be best or what…

May trip

Sometime in May my son and I will be driving to Detroit for a Tigers game and stopping in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, DC, and Baltimore and Philly to catch games there as well. Any recommendations on ticket sources, hotels, fun eating spots etc., are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Will Ferrell

I have to give kudos to Will Ferrell. He did something I don't think any of us have ever attempted, chasing five ballparks in a single day! And they even let him play, an opportunity afforded me on none of my trips.

Sunshine Pair

I am taking a trip in July to do the Sunshine Pair (Rays & Marlins) We arrive in Tampa and have our time there mostly figured out. We are visiting Tropicana Field, Steinbrenner Field, Yuengling Brewery, Raymond James Stadium, and the SS American Victory. The two days in Miami we only have the Marlins game scheduled. I was hoping someone who lives in the general Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, or has done this trip, has any suggestions for things to do while we are there. It doesn't have to be…

Texas trip in April

Tentatively, it looks like I will be heading down to Dallas to participate in a conference for work in late April. After the conference ends, I should be able to take in the Rangers at Globe Life Park (Wed - 4/29 vs Mariners) and drive to Houston for an Astros game (Thurs 4/30 vs Mariners). Haven't decided if I will take in a 2nd Astros game on 5/1, or just return to Dallas for another game on 5/1 (A's). Have been browsing through the Chaser Guides, which are extremely helpful, and whatever…

Atlanta hotels

I am going to see the Padres and Braves in Atlanta this summer. I have checked out the suggestions in the chaser guide and am thinking about staying at the Country Inn and Suites right next door to Turner Field because we will not be renting a car. I have seen very contrasting reviews of this hotel on line and i was just wondering if anyone on this site has stayed at this hotel? I hear it is not in a great part of town, but seeing as we won't have a car to worry about, that doesn't really…

Cleveland/Chicago/Milwaukee July 9-14, 2014

Finally getting around to posting a quick summary of my 2014 trip. Two nights in Cleveland. Stayed at the Hilton Garden right across the street from the stadium. Was able to catch the rail from the airport to Tower City Center station downtown. Was able to see 2 night games vs The Yanks during the stay. With the free time on day 2 I visited the Rock n Roll HOF that morning and rented a car and drove down to Canton and visited the Pro Football HOF that afternoon. Spent about 2 1/2 hours at…

Cuba!

Hey Chasers---I'm psyched to see the Marlins vs. Rays at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana! The place holds 55,000 and no doubt would sell out in a heartbeat for a major league game. It might happen sooner than we think. A good Cuban cigar would be a treat, too.

Staten Island and Brooklyn help (cont.)

An addendum to my previous post. Should have mentioned I'll be driving, so parking must be taken into consideration. Don't mind leaving the car somewhere for four days, but should be factored in. Thanks again, Jim.
