Thank you, I'm lucky that I got to do 3 days of thirty27 and will always remember the drive to Colorado. Thank you and great site.

WENT TO MY PAGE ....NOW I AM LEARNING SI

Who knew that choking your boss was a bad thing?!

Just wanted to remind you that your first wedding anniversary is coming up on Friday!

I remember some idiot who spoke at the wedding!

Thanks for the welcoming. I meant to do this a long time ago.
My favorite park that isn't around where I live is actually Safeco.

Thanks, Craig! Just got back yesterday from a Midwest loop to visit the Metrodome, Kauffman, Busch, US Cellular and Miller Park. Exhausting but fun!

Thanks for the welcome! Seems like a great website.

Go Reds!

Thanks for the welcome and the comment...Photo was taken at Wrigley, but miss the days at Allen County War Memorial Stadium.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be visiting Safeco next month!

Thanks Craig! Love the site!

You bet your ass I am. Im thinkin a couple more years and I will say bye-bye to you. Unless, you decide to chase with the todd

Thanks Craig.
What a great idea for a website!!

Craig,
While Great American gets a bad rap for not having much entertainment nearby I think there are many options for you if you're willing to look around a little. As far as parkings concerned there are lots nearby, but on my budget I park in the Fountain Square Garage on 5th and Vine or in what we call the "gravel lot" west of Great American and Across from Paul Brown Stadium and are great if you're willing to walk. For a visitor I'd recommend Fountain Square. There are a few resturants nearby (I'd recommend Rock Bottom Brewery. You can check out Game Day Cafe which is a short walk east of the stadium which is also a pretty good sports bar or the In Between Tavern is not bad either. If your budget and time permits you need to get to Montgomry Inn, which is a short drive from the stadium. As far as hotels the Hyatt downtown is really nice and there are a few other pretty good hotels downtown. If you're shopping in my price range there's a travel lodge in newport right across the river and you can see the park from the balcony. I'm not sure how nice it is but its a very easy walk across the bridge to the park and close to Neport on the Levee, with all sorts of resturant and bar choices. Staying here would also take care of parking as well as would staying downtown. Haufbrau haus in Newport is also a fun bar to go to after games if you're into drinking huge mugs of beers and dancing on tables while dancing to polka. Hope this helps. GO REDS!

You also have to stop by Skyline Chili for a coney and/or a three way and Greater's Ice Cream for dessert.

I really enjoyed the new stadium guide. I am planning a trip to Arizona next year so will have to use it as reference. thanks

Thanks, Craig. If all goes well #30 will be Coors Field in June of 2009!

Of course! Very cool website man! Congrats...

Good to speak to ya. Pretty cool website you got going here. The third is the old Busch Stadium.. and I guess 4 if you count good ol Mile High.

Thanks Craig. I will post some photos.

Thanks Craig - I found this site while researching the chase for all 30 in one season. I plan to use the blogging feature as well as upload pics from each stadium along the way.

Craig,

I have not been to these seven parks:

Yankee Stadium II
Citi Field
Nationals Park
Chase Field
Petco Park
McAfee Coliseum
Safeco Field

First time I have seen you online.

I'd appreciate any info you could get, Craig.

Hey! Thanks. I'm gonna try and upload my pics. I can't find my pics from Montreal or the Vet, but I have everything else including Puerto Rico. What stadiums are you missing? I'm sure you need to see the new Mets and Yanks stadium. That's my hometown and I have season tix to both, though I'm a die hard METS fan.

Thanks, Craig!

Thanks for inviting me Craig. Talk to you later, have a great day!

craig, i like the new video player but it seems to be loading slowly. Or is that just my computer?

Thanks for the welcome Craig. I love what you're doing here. My wife just stumbled across this site today and thought it would be a great way to chronicle our quest. Our goal is to get our son (currently 9yo) to all 30 MLB parks before he goes to college. Right now he's at 8, but has to get back to Wrigley so it's an actual memory. His only visit was @ 6 months old.

We have tickets for the Reds game on Easter, so Great American Ballpark is next. Thinking Comerica and Toronto are on the docket in the summer. So hopefully, we'll have him up to 11 by the end of the 2009 season.

Absolutely ... will be hitting both new NY parks early in the season hopefully. Will also be checking out the renovated Kaufmann Stadium next weekend.

Hi Craig:

Thanks for the welcome. This looks like a great website and I'm looking forward to reading all the posts about these great ballparks.

-Brenda

Hi Craig, thanks for friending me!

Thanx for the welcome, looking forward to reading feedback about all the parks.

Hey Craig!
Thanks! My Husband is also on here (Eric R.)
We're actually going to watch the M's win it tonight!

The dagger is already in and now you have to twist it like that. You are such a good friend. Thanks, thanks a lot. Have you decided when your going yet?

Hi Craig - I found this site doing research for my website and it's absolutely fantastic... it's given me quite a bit of ballpark travel envy.

baseballtripplanner.com is the site that I've been working on - I'm constantly updating it and adding features. I hope it can be helpful to fellow chasers and will welcome any feedback.

Glad you enjoyed my "impression" of Vin

Thanks for the welcome, I'm looking forward to getting some pics up! Doug

Thanks, I stumbled upon the site. This is great!

Thanks Craig. Yes, I was at the first game at Citi Park and the first game at the New Yankee. Good luck on your goal!

Thanks, we just got back from catching both St Louis and Kansas City.

Thanks for the positive words, Craig. Sadly, I am just loading the summer of 2008. The wet weather of the East Coast so far this spring has postponed my visits to any new ballparks. Regardless, I don't think 2009 is going to approach the 60 ballparks of 2008. Although I hope to finish off the Eastern and Carolina League parks, continue to make a dent in the International League and hit some of the newer parks in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Maybe an Alabama/Tennessee swing too. See you at the ballpark!

hey craig doug49 here i posted my blog on my 49 and counting. I am not computer literite so my question is does everybody see this or is there someting else I have to do to get it out there or is it already done
I plan on updating later when i get to the next parks thanks Doug (49)

Glad you like the new pic, but she's mine! Ha-Ha. My dream girl, next to my wife, of course.

Thank u

Great site. Glad to be here.

Thanks. Which I would have found it sooner

Thanks for the welcome! Looks like a great site. Will post some pics soon. Glad that there are other crazy baseball fans in the world like me. We can all chase those ballparks together.

Hi Craig! Thanks for the welcome! I'll be visiting Safeco yet again this Friday vs D-Backs, and my friend and I are going to PGE Park in Portland Wednesday, Cheney Stadium in Tacoma Thursday, and Safeco Friday for three games in 3 days! Pics forthcoming...

Craig, thank you. We will be sure to keep you all posted on our 30ballpark progress. We appreciate everyone's support.

Thanks, I love the concept of this website - but what I'm really looking for is some site where I can just check off the parks I've been to in a fun way that I can share (like post on my facebook page). I don't want to have to type in each park I've been to. A cool map with the teams logo that would pop up when I select that team would be neat. (and it would be great to have past parks too since some of the places I've been to are no longer around)
