30 Before I Die

by doublee919 - 30 cards (Last updated on Jan 24, 2024)

I have a goal of seeing every MLB stadium. Having seen a couple in my childhood, I started in earnest in 2009, since then have crossed 26 of 30 off the list. Some stadiums are definitely better than others, but each trip has unique memories. I tried to jot down something memorable for each trip. Looking forward to new stadiums in Vegas and hopefully Tampa so I can add to this list.

21. 2019 Topps #491 Comerica Park

2021, one of only 2 stadiums I didn't actually see a game in. Rainout forced a postponement to the following day, and our flights didn't allow us to stay for the game. City of Detroit actually got something like 6" of rain overnight. Still had a great time and enjoyed my Detroit style pizza!

22. 2019 Topps #682 Petco Park

2021, there isn't much else like a Padres-Dodgers game.

23. 2019 Topps #126 Oakland Coliseum

2022, saw in afternoon game against the Yankees. By pure coincidence, sat in the drum section. Didn't know about it until we got there but made the game very interesting. Judge played RF, right below us. Fans were merciless. He went 0-4 with 3 K's. They honored the 2002 "moneyball" pre-game.

24. 2019 Topps #616 Oracle Park

2022, power went out for about 45 mins. Didn't end up staying through the end.

2019 Topps #509 Globe Life Park in Arlington Front

25. 2019 Topps #509 Globe Life Park in Arlington

2022. Actually saw the game in the new Globe Life Park. Remember leaving the stadium at around 10:30 and it still being 93 degrees and what felt like 100% humidity. Earlier in the day toured the Cowboys stadium. Very impressive.

26. 2019 Topps #159 Minute Maid Park

2023

27. 2019 Topps #521 Chase Field

First of 4 I still need to get to. Something about Arizona in the summer hasn't drawn me to dbacks game yet

28. 2019 Topps #566 Tropicana Field

Waiting until they (hopefully) get a new stadium.

29. 2019 Topps #26 Angel Stadium

Hoping to combine trips with the Dodgers sometime in the next couple of years

30. 2019 Topps #254 Dodger Stadium

Hoping to combine trips with the Angels sometime in the next couple of years.

I've been to 5 stadiums (Fenway, Dodgers Stadium, Kauffman, Metrodome, and Target Field). Went to Fenway while my family was on a trip to Boston, though we only did a tour and didn't get to see a game because tickets were too expensive, and I went to Dodger Stadium when I was a toddler so I don't remember any of it. Kauffman I've been to a couple of times since I have family in the KC area. I went to many games at the Metrodome as a kid, including one time my extended family got a suite for the game. It was so loud in there and the air pressure holding up the dome would push you out the doors as you left. I've been to nearly two dozen games at Target Field if I had to guess; I try to go to at least one game every year, and sometimes even get the joy of going to multiple. I'm hoping after I graduate from college at the end of this semester I can go to more games this summer, standing room tickets are pretty cheap and the fact that games rarely sell out means that you can sit in the nosebleeds if you ever get tired of walking around.
