I've been asked what I'll do after I hit the 30th stadium next month. Some people have suggested I go to football or soccer stadiums. Those suggesting that are missing the point of why I'm doing this. I'm not doing it to do something. I'm doing it because I love baseball and I love going to ballparks. I enjoy other sports but not with the passion I love baseball. Stadiums and arenas lack any uniqueness and aren't as fun as baseball parks. I have no interest in that.
So what's next? I'm going to go back to a few of my favorite stadiums. I'll go to Camden Yards on the trip I go to PNC Park next month. The last time I sat in the lower level on a cold rainy night. This time I'll sit in club seats. I'm going to AT&T Park in San Francisco in July. It was a great stadium but I got there in the first inning the last time and didn't really explore the stadium. I sat in the lower bowl, my favorite place to sit, but you can't see McCovey Cove from the lower level. I'm assuming I'll get a good view from the upper level.
There's a website called Ballparkchasers.com where people who want to go to all the stadiums share their trips. They're having a meet-up in Seattle in August. Safeco was nice but the chance of meeting other chasers sounds like fun. There are some other stadiums I'd like to go back to and I'll probably plan a few more trips.
