Hi Craig and thanks for the welcome.  I'm taking it easy this year and have two away trips planned.  Cleveland & Detroit as they are short drive away from Toronto.

Wanted to pass along to you that they don't have the Halo dog in Anaheim anymore.  I looked all over for it last season & was told with new concession company that they got rid of it.

Hey Craig! Find out about that game in Seattle on 7/7 yet?

Hey Craig, thanks for the intro!  We were planning on going to Camden Yards and Nationals Park this summer as we have family in DC, but those parks are definitely off the table for this year in light of the turmoil in Baltimore.  Don't have a definite Plan B as of yet, maybe hit up some more Minor League places or Wrigley, as well as our usual 7-8 games at Comerica.  Thanks again!

Thanks for the note! Im heading out to SoCal for work the second week of June. Hoping to hit atleast one if not two stadiums. The Angels and Dodgers.

Other than that if I can score a long weekend I may drive to Boston and finally hit Fenway

Hey Criag,

Just wondering, why wouldn't we make something like a virtual map with virtual pins that let us track where we've been right on this site? I'm not sure i it's a licensing issue so if it is just feel free to let me know.

Cheers,
Max

Craig,

thank you for the welcome. I have 3 trips planned this year for ballparks I haven't been to. I am visiting US Cellular in June, Coors Field in August, and Turner Field in September.

Hi Craig! Thank you for the welcome. I am torn this year...My favorite player (Biggio) will be inducted this year...I can't decide if I want to go to cooperstown or a game. Thoughts suggestions? I guess I could do both :)

Thanks, Craig! Headed to Atlanta next week for a bit of R&R ... and baseball, of course! Hoping to take long weekends to Cincy and St. Louis this summer as well for a bit of bat and ball action. Thanks for hosting this site. It's providing a lot of useful info as I tackle the list. Play ball!!

Go to see the White Sox next Sunday...this will be the 20th Stadium on the list of 30....will definitely hit up KC and Milwaukee this summer!!

Hey Craig, not yet but hopefully soon! I'm always scheming on ways to get to games, but nothing's come to fruition yet. My 2 friends and I do the Cle-Cin-Pit triangle plus another varying game or 2 each year. Figuring out the possibilities for that was the impetus for creating my planning tool.

Hi Craig
Yes I currently planning a trip to go to Marlins Park, Tropicana Field and Turner Field during the month of July. I was trying to look in to a Trop Field stadium tour but it appears that they are not doing them any more. Do you have any information on this?

Thanks for the welcome, Craig! Our family is planning a trip in August to Baltimore, Philadelpha and Pittsburg. I'll have to scour the site for not to be missed features of each park.

Thank You Craig. I am heading to PNC park in July. Any must see places in and or around the stadium you recommend? I do plan on taking the ballpark tour in the am. THanks

Thank you, Craig. As a matter of fact, I am flying out to California on Saturday to go see Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, Anaheim and LA.

Thanks. I'm thinking of heading to Kansas City for the Brewers/Royals series, but I don't have anything concrete yet. Do you have a hotel recommendation?

Hey Craig,

Thank you for your reply, and ya that's what I had in mind. I understand the amount of work that's required in order to restore the widget, but in the mean time, something as simple as a collection of 30+ check boxes (without the map) would work wonders (which can be put on the same page as the profile questions). This also allows people to take a peek at other people's profile to see where they stand among the chasers overall.

After that's been built, if you have additional time to spare, you could run some simple sql queries to get interesting stats that you can show on the front page, such as distribution of "# of ballparks visited", most "favorited" ballpark, most popular home ballpark and so on.

Cheers,
Max

Thanks Craig. none for 2015 but definitely in 2016.

Hi Craig, I have 2 trips planned for this summer. My son and I are heading to Cincinnati for the All Star Game next month. That will be a repeat stadium, but an incredible experience. We are also going to Chicago in August. I'll be attending my first White Sox game at US Cellular Field. We will be seeing a concert at Wrigley during that trip, but that saw a Cubs game there last summer. We will also hit 4 minor league stadiums this summer!

Hi Craig,
I've got a whopping baseball summer planned. I fly to Dallas July 29 with plans to see the Rangers and Astros. Fly to Atlanta August 3 and catch a Braves game. August 4 takes me to Orlando where I'll see the Rays and Marlins over the next 6 days. August 10 I'll go to St. Louis to see the Cards and the Royals. On August 14, I go on to Detroit.
Lots of baseball I'm looking forward to.
Haven't bought any tickets yet, but will get to that soon.
Any recommendations?

We just finished visiting the last of the "new" ballparks this month (Minneapolis Target Field), which now completes the cycle of seeing every current MLB park!

Target Field was great--definitely a Top 5.

While we were there, we wandered through just about every level of the park as we had tickets for a suite. Wandering around the Legends level was pretty interesting looking at the Killebrew memorabilia, but we had an unexpected surprise when we met a living Twins legend -- Tony Oliva -- who came through unexpectedly on his way to the broadcast booth and signed a few autographs!

Last week, we went to Fairbanks, AK to catch the Midnight Sun Classic during the summer solstice. No lights were needed for the late night games!

Thanks Craig! I'll be able to cross off 5 more ballparks this year. I saw Comerica in May, new Yankee Stadium next week, Marlins Park, the Trop and Rodgers Field in Toronto in September.

Hi Craig - Thanks for the welcome! Just getting started filling everything out. This looks like a neat place!

Planning on a Wrigley/US Cellular long weekend in August (Want to get to Wrigley before they do too much to it), and of course an annual visit to DC when my Braves are in town.

Looking forward to getting to know people here!

Thanks,
This year my son and I have been to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, Dallas (Texas) and Houston. Later this summer it's Denver, Seattle and San Francisco. That combined with last season will make 20 ballparks. The website is helpful and I appreciate the welcome.

I just took a trip to Chicago, where I scattered my dad's ashes. I went to Wrigley a few years ago, but this time I went to the Cell. There's not much to it, but the fans are great. Next on my list is Cleveland. I've been past the park several times and it always looks very nice.

Thank you, Craig. He was a baseball fan, and going to games was one of the things we loved to do together. He has family in Chicago, too.

Hi Craig,

I've been to 11 ballparks so far in 2015. Just got back yesterday from Atl-TB-Mia. I already have plans/tickets for 12 more this year and will get to the remaining 7 in 2016.

This site has been very helpful with my planning.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I've already been to Seattle and Texas Rangers with Cincinnati coming up later in the year. The site has been great so far but I'll let you know if I can think of something to be added.
Thanks again!

Thanks Craig! I'm headed to my first Tigers game next weekend, can't wait for that!
