Hi Craig,

Love the website.  I have other trips planned this year, including my first trip to Fenway Park!   I can't wait!

Thank you for the warm welcome, Craig.

Hi Craig, thanks. We're headed to the rose bowl in a few. Was just down at Durham, and then RFK maybe in few weeks. Hopefully Camden Yards. Thanks for the invite. Great idea for a web site

Hi Craig:

Thanks for the welcome. It's still tentative, but I'm hoping to hit Miami and KC this year. Can't wait!

Craig,

Thanks. Plan on a few friends and family trips to midwest ballparks. Kc, mpls, chi. But still lookings to add a new one or two ballparks. Thanks for the website I hope to add more as the trips come up.

Mike.

Hi Craig, one of my travel buddies Bryan Owens turned me on to this site today. I love it! This year we are planning a three city trip. We're going to start in Cleveland, head over to Pittsburgh, then close it out in Cincinnati.  

On my way next week to California to follow the Marlins to San Diego, LA, and San Fran

Any tips or must do's for Petco, Dodger, and AT&T parks???

Hey Craig,

Yes We're headed to Colorado June 23rd to the 26th

Hi Craig, I'm glad to see others with the same passion for baseball as I on your site. So far for 2014, I've already been to Fenway for Opening Week and got to see the ring presentation. Later, In July, I have 1 game in Atlanta, 3 games in Tampa Bay and 2 in Miami. 6 games in six days. On the maybe list and if my business travel is approved, I might catch a game in Minnesota and visit Dyersville Iowa and a September game in Seattle. I might need your help for those. A huge thanks bud. 

Thanks Craig, I am very excited I stumbled across this site. I have used it quite a bit, browsing through information and others comments. I am leaving Saturday morning for my fifth trip to Pittsburgh (PNC) for two games and then driving to Philadelphia on Monday (Go Blue Jays) before heading home. Did Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit trip last year but have not yet been to Citizens Bank Park and looking forward to it. Thanks again!

Thanks Craig. 

I have a return trip to Comerica planned, but am looking for best hotel accommodations within (safe) walking distance, if such a beast exists...thoughts?

Would like to get to Baltimore some weekend this summer and catch a game.  

Other than that, just limping along now -- three kids under the age of 4 will put some stuff on hold.    

I did check out the Comerica hotels and I appreciate the recommendations, but didn't see whether any were safe for a walk to/from ballpark. 

Yeah, three kids at that age is nuts (twin 1 yr olds + 3 yr old = crazytown).  We manage, though.  

Thanks Craig.  I only have Tampa on my list for this year.  Going there on Memorial Day weekend with some friends for a lower key bachelor party.  Some beers, so baseball, and a lot of fun.  That will be my 21st park (though four of them on my list are no longer in service).

Hi! I am planning a special trip for my husband's 50th.  I think we are going to start in Chicago (Wrigley), then to Boston (Fenway), then to NY (Yankee Stadium) and then to New Jersey (Citi Park) Sep 5-12.  I am hoping to take him to all the tours of the stadiums and a couple games in each place.  He has mentioned that he really wants to go to Fenway park and has done the tour at Yankee stadium (but not a game).  If you have any recommendations or advice I would really appreciate it.  Thanks. 

Yes I have.  Will be reading them this weekend.  Looks very helpful.

     Hey, Craig…thanks for the welcome.  I'm afraid I won't be making any trips this year.  My money is going into a trip to visit my daughter and her family for two weeks in northern Sweden in July followed by three nights and two days in Iceland on the way home.

    I am in the process of shopping for an Airstream travel trailer for my wife and I to start some serious traveling.  My dream for a long time has been to spend my retirement visiting National Parks and baseball parks.  We aren't going  to do it full-time but hope to do 2-3 months in Florida next winter homebasing near Ft Myers and then a series of 2-3 week trips in spring summer and fall.  It will be a lot more casual than a mad dash to see how many parks we can do in a short amount of time.  I'm now 64 and plan to do this for a long time.    Happy travels,  Mike Maher

Thanks.  I'm not sure when my next ballpark visit will be, but it won't be this year.

thanks craig

have visited minute maid park second game of season for yankees great jeter send off from his old team mates

just visited LA angels stadium last night watched yankees beat angels 9-2 another jeter send off

safe and happy travels to all

Pete

Thanks Craig- I am enjoying reading the daily comments from felloe baseball fanatics. Since I have completed the 30 MLB parks and the spring training stadiums I am now working on the 162 in the Baseball Bucket list book. I have trips planned to Houston for the Civil Rights game and to Cooperstown for the HOF induction of many of my hometown Atlanta Braves. Thanks for putting in the effort to create this great site. Now I don't feel weird about my ballpark addiction... I know there are lots of us out there.

Thanks Craig! Just got back from visiting PNC Park in Pittsburgh, heading to Washington DC next week to see Reds play the Nats. 

I actually do have a plan to try to hit 4 parks over 4 days during memorial day weekend.  Hoping to go from PNC Park on Friday to Great American Ballpark on Saturday then Comerica on Sunday and Miller Park on Monday.  I work for Delta Air Lines so get free flights (if there is a seat open) so hoping everything will work on next weekend.  

I've enjoyed the website for where to sit and when to go.  The only piece I would maybe find helpful is public transportation to the games.  I realize probably most chasers are driving but public transportation would save me a lot of cash on my trip as a potential section to add to the website.  

Hey Craig, thanks for reaching out! I got out to Progressive Field to watch the jays beat up on the Indians earlier this summer, and I'm hoping to check out another new park this weekend, but I don't know where yet!

Hi Craig, Thanks for the note. Not much planned for this year. I live in Connecticut, will see Red Sox play 3 times in Boston. Will attend a game at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, R.I., on Father's Day with wife, son, and grandson. We are going to Montral in June and plan a stop in Burlington, Vt., for an NY-P League game there. And we will attend games in New Britain, Norwich, and Bridgeport. I have been attending MLB games since early 1950s. My father and grandfather were ball park chasers generations before it was popular. I have seen baseball games in every one of the World War I era of ball parks, including Braves Field, Ebbets Field, Griffith Stadium, all of them. I have never watched a game in Seattle, Minnesota, or Phoenix. Otherwise I have been in pretty much all of the rest of them with exception of some of of the newer ones (Phila., Cleve., Miami, Cinci, St. Louis, Texas, SD, SF have yet to be seen). I have pix of me in such lost worlds as Comiskey Park, Forbes Field, Connie Mack Stadium, etc. My favorite of them all is Connie Mack Stadium, and I really like PNC Field. I have been to dozens of minor league fields, from McAllen, Texas, to Terre Haute, Indiana, and all around. My wife prefers the minor leagues, our 4 sons have been in many parks as well. We used to take an annual summer jaunt to The Lonliest Place in North America. That would be the Stade Olympique in Montreal during the last few seasons!

I have some pictures of me in Connie Mack Stadium, Forbes Field, Comiskey Park, and Yankee Stadium, all from 1960s. I have many other pictures as well but do not have a scanner so I am at a loss here on how to get them to you.

Thanks, Craig.

Will do.

Thanks Craig. Yes, My wife Holly and I already have tickets for a Toronto game in late June. We will also be in Phoenix in late July for a Diamondbacks game. Those two games will be parks #17 & #18

Hey Craig. Love the site! My family and I are planning on hitting the Missouri ballparks this year.  We will start in St. Louis and then drive over to KC to see a Royals game.  Any suggestions for good baseball themed restaurants or activities in the areas? We love to turn these trips into great baseball themed vacations. These 2 ballparks will bring us up to #17 and  18 ballparks for us....Eric

Hey Craig, great site, thanks for the note.  Just got back from southern California where we saw the Twins/Padres at Petco and Royals/Angels in Anaheim.  My count is at 10, but my 9 yr old and I are trying to hit all 30 before he grads high school - together we've only got four down so far, but looking at a Chi or KC/Stl trip later this summer.  -Matt

Hello Craig, great site and enjoying looking around.  We have been to Rangers &  Astros in April, we got to Royals in May. Still trying to work out rest of season.  Hopefully we can get to Seattle in July, Philadelphia and New York (Mets) in August and the Angels, Padres and Dodgers over Labor Day.  Love visiting each park and the cities.

Back to Dodger stadium next week, trying to plan a trip to SF, and been to 4 games at Chase this year.

Thanks Craig!  The chaser guides have been a huge help in the planning of my trip.  I'll be visiting:

Phillies, Orioles, Nationals, Pirates, Reds, Cardinals, Royals, Rockies, Twins, Cubs, White Sox, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Tigers, Indians, Blue Jays, Mariners

Can't wait!

Thanks Craig!  I'm just getting back into this.  A lot of what I've been to, no longer exist! I am returning to Toronto and maybe Yankee stadium.  But otherwise, no big plans this season, but plotting and planning for the future!

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the welcome. Love the site! I'm trying to get my 12-year-old caught up with me on stadiums. We are going to do Citi Field this summer. Wrigley, Safeco, and PNC are top of our lists to see after that!

Thanks so much!  We'll be only hitting our local parks (Dodgers, Angels, and Padres) this year.  Next year will probably be Giants, A's, Mariners, Rockies and Diamondbacks.  So we'll be looking for advice for sure next season!
