Comerica Park

Comerica Park - June 5, 2013 - Tigers vs Rays


Comerica Park is such a fun park. There is so much character and excitement in the city of Detroit, despite it's bad reputation. The park is super fun with a ferris wheel inside and wonderful fan atmosphere. The fans in Detroit LOVE their team and they support them through thick and thin. The stadium is newer and has a fun scoreboard, fun between innings events for fans and a cool skyline view from the stadium. This is a stadium I would definitely visit again.

Miller Park

Miller Park - *First game in 2001, 10 games/year since


Let me start off with a disclaimer that Miller Park is my home park, so I may be a little biased, especially after going so often. Miller Park holds a special place in my heart. It's where I can go anytime I want to take in some baseball and just relax. I love this park for multiple reasons. I think our fans are great. I have rarely had a bad experience in my 75+ games. I'm also a huge fan of our food; hotdogs, brats and beer. Welcome to Wisconsin! The view from our stadium is nothing too special, but the state of the art roof and the stellar, recently updated scoreboard really up this venue's ranking. The roof is also a favorite part of Miller Park. While it can annoy me when they close it for what feels like no good reason, it is very handy to know if I buy tickets to a game, I will get to see a game, without having to sit through any kind of weather conditions that may come my way. 





Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium - July 8, 2015 - Yankees vs A's 


Yankee Stadium was probably my least favorite stadium thus far. While it was nice and new and they played awesome music, it just had a very business like feeling and didn't leave me feeling any kind of excitement when I left. The view from the stadium was nothing special either. Being in such a cool city, it would be neat if you could see some of the city from the park, but instead you just see nothing. The fans in the bleachers (not where we were sitting) were fun and started lots of chants in the beginning. The food was different. Dad ordered a huge bucket of chicken and garlic fries. While it was good, not something I needed to spend $20 on. They had a big, fun scoreboard which helped bring the stadium's overall appeal up! Overall, it was a fun experience, but not a stadium I'll be sad if I never visit again.

Fenway Park!

Fenway Park - July 10, 2015 - Red Sox vs Yankees


First of all, this is by far my favorite stadium I've been to thus far. There is so much character and excitement going on in the city and around the stadium! The view from the stadium was nothing to write home about, but the rest of the stadium was incredible. The fans were by far some of the best fans I've ever encountered. They were so passionate about their team, it was incredible. The food was also great. This was one of the first stadiums I've been to where they don't sell beer in the stands. This was an interesting way of doing things. They also had some of the best hotdogs with some wonderful buns. Like literally, the best bun I've ever consumed. The scoreboard was old, but fun. I especially liked how it kept with the old feel of the stadium. Overall, the atmosphere around the entire city was so wonderful the day of the game. Being able to walk the streets with other fans prior to the game was so fun and the songs they played during the game were on point.
