My days also involved having a friendly server come around asking me what she could bring me to drink, as if nothing would give her greater pleasure than to bring me a glass of water.
This year’s stadium tour took us to Orlando to see Orlando City SC play the Houston Dynamo. We made a long vacation out of the stadium tour, starting in Tampa for the baseball game, then spending the week at the Orlando theme parks, and ending with the Orlando City game. For the first time, we …
This post appeared on my previous blog in July 2010. My husband and I had a friend visit over the weekend so we had the opportunity to be tourists in our own city. Granted, we’re still learning our way around and exploring the area, so it wasn’t much of a stretch. One place I’ve wanted …
Stadium Tour #2 was a bit more local – Kansas City. Hubby and I flew, but Sis and BIL drove. They had both been to games in Kansas City before, but never to Sporting Park (or Children’s Mercy Park as it is now known), and we were looking forward to the atmosphere of a Sporting …

As I’ve mentioned before, Hubby, my youngest sister (Sis), and her husband (my BIL) began the official “Stadium Tour” in 2012. Hubby and I have been to stadiums on our own (like Dallas), and Sis and BIL have been to games on their own. We’ve also been to stadiums and matches together that are not …
A few years ago, my husband and I decided that we wanted to visit all the MLB stadiums. Many people have written blogs, articles, and even books about planning a MLB stadium trip and the experience of road tripping. Authors have developed various rating systems to rank the ball parks in an effort to determine …
