Visiting Other Ballparks

[millervt]

Bought my daughter & her friend tickets for Yankees at Red Sox for Sunday 9/18 8pm game. Got her SRO tickets on the Green Monster.

Now she is asking me about wearing her Yankees apparel to the game, IIRC that may be asking for it at Fenway?

She is going with a friend from Boston that is a Red Sox fan. I took them to Yankee Stadium in May and her friend wore her Red Sox jersey and hat and had no issues (a few comments on a food line at worst).

Also, any other Fenway tips for me to give her? Best Food? Things to see at Fenway?

we went last year in yankee wear with no problems. Didn't sit in the green monster but we did go up there before the game and no one said anything to us. Literally at fenway there are of course red sox memorabilia if you are a general baseball fan.

Any opinions or suggestions for Nationals Park? Haven’t visited an opposing stadium in a while and am considering driving down for one or both of the games. Parking, hotels, stuff to do in the area (besides visiting all the usual DC stuff which I am not interested in)

Ace -

I regularly drive down to Nationals Park for games. I can't recommend any hotels, but would suggest getting a place that is proximal to the Metro - although I usually park in one of the park garages, we also go to Greenbelt and take the Metro into the park.

As for what to do in DC - the Smithsonian is always #1 on my list. Quite a collection. If you are into it, the Air & Space Museum out by Dulles is a must see.

So, what does one do when all the hotels less than $500/night in Baltimore is booked? I was thinking of AirB&B but we want privacy.

I don't know about Baltimore, but the one time I used AirB&B, my friend and I had a whole house (half of a duplex, but totally separate entrances) at our disposal. Much more private than a hotel. Search around a bit, and you might find something like that in the Baltimore area.

There are a few reasons I'm trying to avoid AirBnB for this trip. And looking at what's left for private accomodations, anything that's cheaper than remaining hotel rooms is nowhere near the Inner Harbor and I'm not trying to run around Baltimore.

TIL that you can sleep in AirBnB boats. Interesting.

Thinking of taking a trip up to Toronto in July to catch Yanks Jays. Anyone have seat recommendations or anything cool I should check out at the stadium?

For the health care.

Yes people like to visit other ballparks as referenced in the title to this thread. Niagara falls + a yankees game seems like a pretty good trip.

I went 5 years ago and it was really pricey but if you can swing it get a hotel room with a view of the field at the connected hotel, the Marriott City Centre hotel. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

For the Baltimore series in June I held out too long and couldn't get a nearby hotel for less than $500+/night. I needed up staying at the Holiday Inn Express on North Gay Street and regretted it because I paid a lot and the area sucked.

So for the series in late August I said I wasn't going to book less than a month out otherwise I wasn't going to go. With plans to go to all four games, I booked a hotel for Friday and Saturday nights that was more expensive than I wanted and on the other side of the Inner Harbor (yet still cheaper per night than the last hotel.) Everything near the ballpark was once again sold out for Saturday night (but not Friday night.)

I cant win: ESPN takes the Sunday game. There's no way I leave Baltimore at 11PM on Sunday and make it to work on time and presentable at 9AM on Monday. Had I known this when I booked the hotel, I would not have booked Saturday night.

The last few weeks feels like the Yankees are in a barrel.

And going over the American Falls instead of the Horseshoe. Splat!!

Did that exact trip last year in september. Highly recommend staying on canadian side of the falls and if you can swing it staying at the hotel connected to rogers centre

Any recommendations for Anaheim, San Fran, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Seattle?

As far as?

As far as?

Everything. Hotels, food, other attractions.

As far as the ball parks thems lives, I’d say: don’t know, yes, no, yes, yes. Also, while Dodger Stadium is beautiful (and it pains me to say that), leave plenty of time to get there

The "other attractions" part should be easy for Angels Stadium

I have been to Seattle.

Nice small city, lots to do, good tourist destination.
We stayed at a hotel called the Mediterranean Inn which we liked and they gave us a lower rate for staying more than three days.
Seafood capital.
Good walking town, also has a light rail system to and from the airport, and the famous monorail is a regular transit route.
The ballpark was easily accessible by the light rail system. We got tickets in the 6th row for half of face value on StuhHub. It has a retractable roof - you probably already know that - but it is also open-air, i.e. not sealed up. We were there on a cool July night and needed our jackets.
There are two weather extremes - sometimes rainy and dark, but not as often as legend has it, but when the sun is out the UV's are high.
Enjoyed Seattle a lot and would go back.
