How many MLB games will you see in person

**jjgold** · 04-06-09, 07:42 AM

Probably none, too much of a hassle here to go to a NY game and too costly when you add everything up.

**Mudcat** · 04-06-09, 07:50 AM

None. Once upon a time I would go to about 40 a year.

I don't think I have been to one this century.

**Boner_18** · 04-06-09, 07:55 AM

Have a Yankees 20 game partial package... Will probably end up going to 15-18 in the regular season, maybe a Mets game or two. And then there is the playoffs...

**jagaf22** · 04-06-09, 08:00 AM

I'll catch 4-5 Rays games this year.

**raydog** · 04-06-09, 08:15 AM

no mlb games. i will attend a handful of memphis redbirds games just to get out in the evening for some sunshine and beers. show up about inning 2 and drink till inning 7. i cant stand baseball. i swear i would rather watch 3 hours of curling than watch an entire baseball game. i dunno how you guys do it

**nobshine** · 04-06-09, 08:22 AM

Used to average 40-50 but last year and this year in the 20's.

**yisman** · 04-06-09, 08:33 AM

I always used to go to a few a year.

This year, probably none. New stadium = huge raise in ticket/parking prices & much less seats available (5,000 less seats in the Bronx and 10,000 less in Queens).

I'll go if someone gives tickets away or sells them on the cheap, but I highly doubt that will be happening.

Maybe if I take my usual summer trip I can go to a game in another state.

If I still lived in pittsburgh, I'd go to zero at PNC anyways... boycotting that team as a citizen of Pittsburgh...

but when I go visit i'm sure I'll accept some from ticks from someone in the fam... it is a great ballpark

when I first became a teen-ager in 1989 and started going to see some other parks with my Dad... I said I wanted to go see every major league stadium at some point in my life....that was the year that the skydome opened up. and it was a huge deal

well I made a good dent into that by the time I got halfway through college

Now skydome is like the 3rd or 4th oldest ball park in the league and I've had to start all the fuk over again

**AMBlai01** · 04-06-09, 08:41 AM

I will try to catch about 5 games this year, definitely going to make it to both of the new stadiums in NY and probably a Phillies and Red Sox game....and one more on my travels somewhere.

We also have the Triple A affiliate for now the Nationals here in Syracuse so I will definitely catch a ton of those games.

**so im zach** · 04-06-09, 08:42 AM

I'll probably go to 10-15 Rangers games this year.

you should just go to a bar or to the park.

No sense paying for baseball tickets and parking if you hate it, even if it's a minor league game.

I've made it my goal too. I started a few years ago.

my list

Yankee Stadium (old one, about 10 games)
Shea Stadium (about 50-60 games)
PNC Park
Busch Stadium (old one, two games)
Coors Field (two games)
Camden Yards
Fenway Park

Amazingly, I have still not been to a game in Philadelphia, which would the easiest one to attend other than the NY teams.

my trips

2004: Boston
2005: Pittsburgh
2006: St. Louis
2007: Denver and Dallas
2008: California, Arizona, and Utah

I was in California and Arizona in summer 2008 but could not go to any games.

**BestPlay2day** · 04-06-09, 08:55 AM

Will catch 6-8 Twins games this year at the Dome. Also want to hit a game or 2 in Milwaukee this summer when the Twins play there.

0

**Brock Landers** · 04-06-09, 09:12 AM

3 or 4, a few at wrigley, a couple at Us Cellular.

Want to get to a game in St Louis, have yet to go to the new park

**Chi_archie** · 04-06-09, 10:56 AM

nothing like a day game in the bleachers in july with no shirt on and lots of beer....and girls in bikini tops

**5 star bomb** · 04-06-09, 10:56 AM

15 cubs games

2-3 white sox games

**Chi_archie** · 04-06-09, 11:01 AM

sox tickets are so easy to come by... I love to go see good teams play the sox there... otherwise I hate US cellular

**sickler** · 04-06-09, 11:16 AM

Most likely none, unless I take a lengthy trip.
