Must be two hundred more, past and present. Seeing more ballparks is always a logistical problem, depending upon distance, game schedules, distance, vacation availability, etc.. Always worth the effort. Thanks, Bill.

We went to a Cardinals game this year. My son a freshman in high school asked me to take him to all 30 parks. The plan is to try and do it over the next four years so as I started planning I discovered your web site. I have to say it has been most helpful.

Craig, I completed my ballpark journey on August 31 at Fenway. It took me 19 years but I have now visited all 30 teams at their home park. It has been an amazing and incredibly rewarding journey!

Hi Craig! Thanks for having me! I enjoy visiting the website from time to time to check out the ballpark chasing guides and to catch up with baseball folks! I took two trips to PNC Park, my home stadium, this past year! Pumped about the Buccos playing in October, its been awhile! Hope things are going good for you. Thanks! -T

I went to the Tampa bay rays game vs the Toronto blue jays on June 26 after that I decided that I was gonna see how many ballparks that I could make it to . I left from northern Virgina to the Tampa Bay game then I drove to Miami Washington Philadelphia Pittsburg ny mets Cleveland Indians Detroit and Toronto . The Nationals is my home team . I have seen the new schedule and I am planning on the 15 and 16th of may to go to the New York Yankees and the Boston Redsox . After that the Chicago white sox and the Cubs are playing games vs the New York Yankees on the 21 and 22 of May and I plan on going to the Detroit Tigers vs the Indians on the 19 th stay 2 days in Chicago drive to Pittsburg and see the nationals play then drive back to northern Virginia . I tell you where I am stumped I have a game in Atlanta Houston Texas Denver and Arizona in like a 8 day span . Where I am stumped is I would like to go to the California teams and Seattle then drive to the 2 teams in Missouri and Minnesota and Milwaukee what stumps me is after the Arizona game there is about 7 or 8 day leeway after the Arizona game and when San Diego plays . I think that it is fun but I wish the people who make up the schedule would realize that not all the fans ca fly . Also there is an app called Skeds which is great on breaking the teams down to their divisions and the you can pick a team and get there schedule by the month. I am glad that I found this group because I noticed on your site it breaks down each team to the city places to stay how to get to the stadium and maybe find something to do before the game . Once again I love this site

Thanks Craig! Our trips have been great - mostly feeding my son's interest. It's his goal too. Would love to cram in a trip to see the Braves v. Nats this week, but don't think it's going to work out.

I appreciate the welcome. I will finish this season with 1,165 games lifetime, 688 of which were on roadtrips, that is, outside my local area (Chicago/Milwaukee). Having already seen every league opponent play at every league location (both leagues), I have been working on the goal of seeing at least 20 games at all 30 locations. After this season, I only lack 5 games to reach that goal. I have just 18 at Atlanta and at the Dodgers, and 19 in Miami.

My schedule is all planned for 2014, concentrating mostly on catching Houston at the American League parks, and the American League opponents at Houston. That's 28 games, of which I will have managed to do 9 of them in 2013.

I have just one remaining trip this season.....going to catch the Astros at Arlington starting on the 23rd. I was leaning toward making annual updates on your site, but I'm not sure how often is appropriate. John Salvo

Hi Craig, Thanks for the kind welcome. This summer I visited O.co and AT&T Parks. So finally finished the 5 in Cali. I do have a Memorial Day weekend planned to Safeco next spring and hoping to get in both parks in Texas next year as well. I travel for work, so all depends on where I am at. Thanks again for the nice welcome, looking forward to visiting this site often.

I have only been to a Texas Rangers game this year. All together, I have visited 21 current parks and 8 parks that have since closed (Candlestick, Astrodome, Yankee Stadium, Mets Stadium, St. Louis, Montreal, RFK Stadium, and Veterans Stadium in Philly).

Hi Craig, you have a nice website. I just completed going to every major league baseball stadium two weeks ago. I started out the season with five left to see and met my goal to get to all of them this season.
We started out the first week of the season on the west coast. I needed O.co and AT&T Park to see, but we also went down to Dodgers Stadium and a hockey game at HP Pavilion (now SAP Center) in San Jose.
In July we went to Toronto and saw the Dodgers for two game up there.
I got my last two stadiums in on a quick trip to Florida, first going to Tampa to see the Yankees and the next night down to Miami to see the Rockies. We Marlins were also nice enough to give us complimentary tickets for accomplishing the feat.
If you're going to any new ones and have any questions just let me know.

Best Regards,
Gerry Abell

Craig:

Thanks for the welcome.
My six-year-old just decided he wants him and I to visit all 30 parks. This my have something to do with the MLB Ballpark Passport we picked up at fanfest earlier this summer.

We've knocked three off the list since Julu, Citifield (our home park), Chase field (while visiting a friend in Arizona) and Rogers Stadium (while visiting family in Toronto)

3 down, 27 to go and looking forward to the journey.

Hi Craig. Thank you for the welcome. This summer, I traveled to see the Cards play in New York for the second time and then Oakland and Anaheim for the first time. I was thrilled to find this website. I am trying to visit one or two stadiums a year. Thank you for creating this fun and informative website! Susan

Hi Craig, Thanks for the Welcome Message and Thanks for this Great Site. We kinda thought we were the only ones crazy enough to see "All 30 MLB's" so good to know we have some company out there !!

We went to KC and St. Louis back in May and it was a great trip. I am a photographer (I will post some pictures when I get a chance) so going to each city gives me a chance to take tons of pictures and we really enjoy walking around to see the sites and sample the "fun" food at each spot (KC BBQ and Primanti Brothers in Pitt etc.!!)

We are also planning our next trip in 3 weeks when we head to Milwaukee, Detroit and Cincinnati with a stop in South Bend to see Notre Dame and Michigan State ! (Any Tips are Always Appreciated) That will give us 24 Stadiums and I will be able to spend the Cold Winter Offseason thinking about the Final 6 (Tampa, Miami, Houston, Arlington, Colorado and Seattle).

Keep up the Great Work and Welcome to All New and Current Members here !! Tom & Paula in New Jersey

Thanks Craig, great site! This year, I made my second trip to Great American Ballpark (first in 2004), and my second trip to Petco Park in San Diego. I have a friend in Chicago, and we try to make at least two ballparks a year. We've been to about 22. There's some great minor league parks across the country as well, such as Auto Zone Park in Memphis. I appreciate the welcome. I hope to actively post some of the many images I have taken over the years.

Hi Craig. Yes, my wife and I waited out a tornado in a parking garage on our first trip to new Busch in late May.

Looking forward to using this site and all the info you folks can provide the next time we plan a trip! This year we went to Citi Field and Chase Field (guess we have a bank theme going). We go to at least one a year. 2 if the vacations can work around it (we live in CT) - or we can fit in a more local trip. We also go to Fenway at least once a year. My kid collects themed baseballs from each park.

Going to Comerica Park labor day weekend for a game in a pivotal series for the Tribe. We got loge tickets for that Saturday August 31st. It should be a great time.
