  1. We have a baseball scrapbook that we make a page for every stadium.  I miss being able to put the ticket stub on it ever since they've gone to pretty much all digital tickets, but came up with a compromise for it.

    Worse, it's southern Ohio, basically Kentucky.

    The cheapest parking I've paid for was at the Reds stadium.  Drove across the river to the Kentucky side and they had a board walk area with a parking garage for $2.  Parked in it and walked across the bridge to the stadium.

  3. Stadiums left for us to see in order of most wanting to see for me (not including Oracle since will see it in two months).

    Fenway, Camden, Wrigley, Safeco (Seattle), Comerica, A's new stadium in Vegas (going off artist drawing), Citizen Bank, Rogers Centre, whatever Miami is called these days, Chase, Nationals, White Sox (Rate?).

    Figure we'll try to do Baltimore/Nationals/Phillies in one trip.  Both Chicago's in one, and probably Detroit/Toronto.  The rest will probably be just a one stadium trip (unless Tampa ever gets a new stadium, then will shoot for it and Marlins in one).

    And the Chiefs want the Truman Complex to themselves, unfortunately.

    I hate it, myself. Maybe shit falls through, but doesn’t seem like it will. Kehoe is calling a special session shortly to get something done, the KS “offer” has to be answered by 6/30. Although it’s not really a compelling one, and I can’t see them taking it.

    The Arrowhead/Kauffman setup is pretty great. Ballpark moves downtown and now it’s a shitshow for parking and ingress/egress. See: Sprint/T-Mobile center.

    But we’re right back to where we were, and what the Chiefs want. 

    Sad thing is the Royals don't need a new stadium.  Kaufman is an awesome stadium to catch a game IMO.

    Great thread idea. mdleast and I are doing a trip to San Diego in August. What are some good places to go to around the stadium? 

    We just did San Diego last summer and loved it.  As was mentioned, tons of eating options around the stadium.  We did bubs at the ballpark.

    Saw on your other post about La Jolla cove, we went to it as well.  Would try and get to it pretty early as the parking can fill up.  Went to Mission Beach on another morning.  We also did the San Diego Zoo, but that can take almost all day to see everything (think we did the whole place in 5+ hours, that was also stopping to eat).

    This trip also included Angels and Dodger Stadium as well.

    I will be doing Philadephia, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland starting this weekend.  I am excited for PNC because that is normally top 2 or 3 in anyones lists/rankings I see 

    We did Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati all in one trip years ago (haven't been to Philly yet).  Lots of good eating joints/bars around Progressive Field to hit up before the game.  Also, you cant tell from watching a game on TV, but at Progressive Field in centerfield behind the trees is a neat area full of historical stuff about the history of the franchise.

  7. Thanks for making this thread.  Wife and I have been to 17 stadiums so far and Oracle will be number 18.  Its getting a little harder to catch more than one on a trip since we've done the 2-3 in one trip previously.  

    If the A's would have stuck around one more season we would have gone to the Coliseum (even if most consider it a dump).  So will just have to wait for them when they start playing in Vegas.  

    Kinda' wish Arizona would get a new stadium, Chase doesn't really look appealing.  

    We've been to Tropicana Field, but would love to go back if (whenever that may be) the Rays get a new stadium. 

    I've also read some articles that MLB could be adding two expansion teams by the end of the decade/start of the 2030's.
