I recommend Stubhub. First, Stubhub's pricing is all in. So the price you see includes all the fees. It's almost always cheaper than the prices the team is selling them for. And they don't list all their fees on their prices. Also, Stubhub gives you rewards points. So if you buy enough tickets to any game, you'll eventually earn a discount on later tickets. Buying Padre tickets from the team doesn't help you later to buy Dodger tickets for less.
If you're like me, you're…

The wife and I just finalized our 2014 ballpark trip. We are flying from Kansas City and flying into Indianapolis. We only have 4 nights from May 9th-13th. From there, our itinerary is...
Day 1: Drive from Indianapolis to Louisville. Go to Churchill Downs for live horse racing. Then, finish off the night by going to a Louisville Bats game.
Day 2: Visit the Louisville Slugger museum/factory and take the tour. From there, drive to Cincinnati and watch the Reds…

Curtis Granderson is a three-time American League All-Star and has signed a huge contract with the Mets that will pay him $60 million over the next four years.
Granderson played baseball for three years at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) from 2000 through 2002. He had a monster year in 2002, hitting .483 (second in the nation) on 100 hits and scoring 76 runs, all still school season records. He is also still the career leader for UIC in runs scored with 178 and 10th on the…

When you’re going to a game in a new city, you’ll most likely fly into the city. If you’re doing that, your big question is how do you get from the airport to the game. There are really only two choices, rent a car or take a subway/light rail. The bus is usually a very bad choice, as buses frequently stop and you might be doubling or tripling your travel time. Google maps says it’s a 30 minute drive from the Kansas City airport to Kauffman Stadium. With a bus transfer, it’s 1 hour 51…

Our first Chaser trip planned for July.
St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Kansas City. Six stadiums in six days. All traveling done by car leaving Dallas July 19th. Has anyone taken this journey? Any words or wisdom? We are interested in doing all the stadium tours but don't want to waste money. Any suggestions for taking the tours or not?
Any input would be greatly appreciated :)

We decided back in 2005 that we would attempt to do all 30 by the time our son graduated high school. Well, even though we have stuck to the plan, there were a couple of years when all we could get in was one new ball park. So here we are at the start of the 2014 season and we have 16 down and 14 to go. For the first time ever, we have tickets in hand for four new parks. Detroit in April, Oakland and SF in June and Philly in early August. That will get us to 20 with just 4 years left. …

I can only afford to make one baseball trip this season, and I am torn between going to Seattle on my birthday, to see my favorite team, the Mets play two games at Safeco, or see the Cubs play the Cardinals at Wrigley, and the Mets play the Brewers at Miller Park.
I've never been to either city before, and both trips will cost about the same.
The way I see it, is if I go to Seattle, I will be able to see my favorite team play on my birthday, in a city that they might not play in…

I'm going to Kansas City and St. Louis on the same trip in June. I'll arrive in Kansas City on Saturday morning for a Saturday afternoon game. Then I'll head to St. Louis for a Sunday afternoon game. The big problem for me is that there's only one airline that flies from Kansas City to St. Louis, Southwest. They only have one flight between the end of the Saturday game and the start of the Sunday game. It arrives in St. Louis at 12:25 PM, only 45 minutes before the first pitch. That could be…

As I’ve surfed ballpark related sites over the years I’ve seen a number of “rate the ballpark” sites, but in almost all cases, the criteria are completely subjective – they are one person’s (or a few people’s) opinion. I was curious on a grander scale, so I ran through Facebook Places and harvested and compiled their rankings from the 30 MLB stadium pages.
They’re rated there by the general public on a 1 to 5 star basis, but as about 70% of the responders use a default five stars, I…

Due to my wife starting a new job recently (and not having much vacation time) this years road trip, my 10th year taking one, will be different than years past. Normally we take a full week or two to travel. This year instead of one big trip, there will be several small trips. Sadly though, only two or three new ballparks will be visited. Nashville and Huntsville will definitely be visited at the end of June. I want to see both stadiums before the Sounds move into their new ballpark and…

Apparently, the Mets have Bark at the Park days, when you can bring your dog and sit on the Pepsi Porch. Never thought I would do this, but bought a ticket for April 6th for me, my wife and our puppy if any NYC-area dog owners might be interested in joining. Baseball and dogs...together at last! It benefits the North Shore Animal League.

Anyone going to spring trainiing in Florida in mid-March? If you are and would like to meet up, I'll be at:
Wed 3/12 - Tampa (Yankees)
Thu 3/13 - Lakeland (Tigers)
Sat 3/15 - Orlando (Braves)
Would love to meet any fellow chasers who will be in the neighborhood!

The first thing to remember when going on a baseball stadium road trip is why you're doing it. You want to see the game! Since the games have fixed starting times, you may need to choose a more expensive flight or travel at an early hour. But really what's the point of going when you only see half the game? If you can't make it work that you see all of it, skip that city.
Trip Length - I've scheduled multiple games, usually three, on all my trips. If you schedule three games in three…

Hey guys!
I'm new to this site so just browsing around. So far I've been to 7 MLB Stadiums.
1. Citizens Bank Park
2. Yankee Stadium
3. Tropicana Field
4. Nationals Park
5. Great American Ballpark
6. Citi Field
7. Camden Yards
This wanting to visit all 30 ballparks mission came into play back in 2009 when I got to visit Tropicana. I figured if I could go to a ballpark outside of the Philly/New York area I could visit all 30. This season I…

My friend and I are on our second year of our baseball roadtrip. First year was mid-June with games in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, both New York teams, Boston, and Washington D.C. This summer we are planning 2 weekend trips; first one is in July with a Friday night game in Milwaukee and Saturday and Sunday games in Minneapolis. We have another trip in mind and that is Coors field. We are planning to leave on a friday afternoon/evening out of Chicago (our home city) and fly into Denver. Any advice…

Our 3rd annual summer baseball roadtrip date has been decided. May 15-18. This year we are going to hit Toronto, Boston and the Hall of Fame. Starting from Detroit, Thurday night in Toronto, Friday in Boston(against the Tigers), Saturday Hall of Fame, Sunday driving back home.
Any ideas on some must see spots would be nice, but the biggest question I have is How long does it take to go through the Hall of Fame??. We'll be going before Memorial day so the hours I believe are 9-5.…

Good day,
I am planning on finishing my all 30 teams in their home stadium goal these next two years, and thought I would pose a question or two on here to those in he know.
Seattle is my main goal, and I was wondering how the transportation to and from the airport to the park is? I recall reading it was a short ride via mass transit, but wanted to get the exact details down before I finalize my plans. More than likely it will be a weekday game, and my goal is to fly into…

This is a trip that my family has been excited for for a while now. We live in New Hampshire, which is kind of trapped in a corner when it comes to seeing games. Therefore, we have to get somewhat creative in our trips, which we love doing together every summer. I turn 16 in July and my dream is to see all 30 stadiums by the time I turn 20.
Anyways... In the last week of April, while my school is on April Break, we will fly out west to see games in Phoenix and Denver over the course…
