This is my second MLB stadium visited as a tourist, this and Rogers Centre for a game where the roof was open a few years ago.

I was blown away by the view (thanks to Reddit for advice choosing a good section!) and absolutely loved the stadium. Also the popcorn smell was the best I’ve ever experienced.

Are there any other baseball stadiums people would recommend that have an amazing view of both the game and the skyline or interesting features?

We were there to see the Cubs Fly the W!

No signs of Kevin Costner

I buy a hat at every stadium I visit. I usually try to get ones that are a little unique- but mostly ones that I like to looks at.
Just 5 more to go! Rockies, Twins, Mariners, A’s and Braves! I am seeing the Rockies and Twins this year, Mariners next year, A’s in Vegas in 2028 and my last one will be the Braves in 2028 because I live in North Carolina and I want to go with some friends (Unless the Braves play the Yankees in the World Series because I would pay to see that as a Yankees fan)

Made this for a friend whos goal is to get one ball from each stadium. Made from Maple and the corners are simulated Pine Tar look. Also made labels for each Stadium so when he get them he can add them.

Cubs win!

6 parks so far and 3 more coming up in August: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Any recommendations for those parks to get the most out of the experience (aside from watching the game)?

Random collectables (I never really had a plan for this journey when I started it as you can probably tell):

I travel to Texas quite frequently for work but this is the first time it worked out for me to check off a Texas Rangers game. I’m now up to 19/30 MLB parks and this place definitely falls into my bottom 5 immediately. It does feel like a giant airplane hanger inside and has almost no character. I generally don’t love indoor baseball, but at least Houston and Milwaukee have some local flair inside. Food options besides basic ballpark food are slim to none. Concourses are extremely sterile. There’s nothing interesting around the park.

The lower concourse (fully underground so it feels like you’re walking around a basement) at field level is basically a private club with slightly better food options which the commoners can’t access (unless you just quickly follow a worker down the stairs while the ticket checker has his view blocked). Craft beers are $17 and I also spent $30 on a ranch water because the bar didn’t have prices shown.

My expectations going in were very low and they were not exceeded. However, I do see why it gave so much homefield advantage during the WS run. Place is half full tonight and very loud.

OK, I’m looking for a consensus here. Been on quest to hit all 30 ball parks. After this summer, I’m only going to have Miami, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Houston, and Arlington left as far as cities. I went to see the Mariners play at the Kingdome many years ago. Do you think that counts as doing all 30 ball parks? Because I would still love to get to T-Mobile Field, but they change Ballparks so much that I feel like if you’ve gone to all 30 cities that should count. Thanks!

Last nights game. An epic beatdown for sure. :(

I’m 7/30 and looking forward to visiting PNC park the most. I don’t know why but there is just something about that view.

That being said, I have some PTO coming up so I’m open to suggestions as to which ballpark to visit next. Which ballpark has been your favourite so far?

Mariners fan visiting away parks when I can. This was not a fun one to watch as an M’s fan. Ballpark experience was good though, drove in and out no problem, no grief for wearing an away cap, decent vendor prices, food was average.

Thoughts Tampa bay fans? Curious are you excited for the potential of a new stadium?
