Baseball Road Trip: Game 4 in Detroit

by David June 8, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

The Motor City.  Motown.  Rock City.  Our fourth stop on our 13-game circuit was Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. We arrived at the stadium just as the gates opened and made our way to the Beer Hall where we had some dinner.  We each had our first ever beer at a baseball game and [...]

Itinerary Change- Sick Toddler Alert!

by Nicole June 7, 2009 Baseball Road Trippin'

So, unfortunately we had to cancel our game in St. Louis due to Chiquita’s virus. She was feeling much better after a day of rest in Chicago (see photo above), but we didn’t want to put her through a slightly grueling day of driving to St. Louis, watching a game, and then driving to our [...]

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.
I [...]

Yesterday morning we walked around Lincoln Square, the neighborhood where we are staying, had lunch at the tasty Bad Dog Tavern, and even got a little taste of Chicago’s Mayfest as well (thanks random guy for giving us a few free food tickets!).

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 [...]

Petco Park Strikes Out

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 [...]

Spring Training 2009

by Nicole March 25, 2009 Baseball Memories

Obviously, a highlight was seeing the Dodgers new complex at Camelback Ranch, but it was also fun to see them play at Surprise Stadium against the Royals  (where we are pictured above) and Goodyear Ballpark against [...]
