by David June 5, 2009 Baseball Games

Unfortunately, Chiquita did not recover as quickly as we had hoped from being sick. After taking her to urgent care and getting a prescription in Chicago on Monday just before the game, we decided that only I (David) would go to the White Sox game (a little late) and check out US Cellular Field.

Padres at Dodgers~ May 1, 2009

by Nicole May 29, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We had a great time as usual at Dodger Stadium! This was our first time taking a toddler, and despite the age of the stadium, it was pretty doable with a stadium. A couple of downfalls for a young fan was the lack of elevators (only a couple at the whole place!) and unfortunately no [...]

by The Bennettars April 23, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Here’s the first installment of our review of ballparks from the family perspective.  As you will see from the letter below, we received less than average service and flexibility from the ballpark staff at Petco Park.  This is the actual letter that I emailed to the Padres.  I will keep you posted on whether or [...]

by Nicole March 25, 2009 Baseball Memories

We just got back from a great weekend in Arizona– complete with 3 Dodgers games and some great, warm weather.
