Which stadiums have you guys been to? I've been to the Wrig, US Cellular Field (the tickets were free), Miller Park, Busch Stadium (just for the record, no, I did NOT go to a Cardinals game), Minute Maid Park, and the Astrodome.

I wish I could go to the Rogers Center. I haven't been to any stadiums.

You will get to go some day. Going to a game is a way different experience from watching it on TV. A lot of people don't like it, but I do. I usually get a scorecard, but then mess it up around the sixth inning, and throw it away in frustration. I remember one time I saw Albert Pujols playing, and it is amazing. You can just sense an aura of confidence and skill when he is up to bat. I was at this one game at Wrigley where the Dodgers scored like five runs or something like that in the first inning, and then the Cubs came back and won. It was really awesome.

I've been to the old Yankee Stadium, the new Yankee Stadium, and Minutemaid Park.

Minutemaid was forgettable. The new Yankee stadium has fantastic amenities, and strikes a good balance modern and classical ballpark design. It completely lacks the character and historical significance of the old stadium, however.

Minute Maid is kind of cool in that it is modern with the retractable roof and all that, but I know what you mean when you say that it is forgettable. It doesn't really have anything that when you see it you think Minute Maid Park. The train thing is pretty cool, though, but the thing is that you only really notice the train if you watch it on TV. I was there once, on the third base line, and my favorite player Brad Ausmus hit a near-home run to the left-field side. Literally everyone thought that it was gone. They even blew off the cannon thing and shot off a firework like they do when there is a home run, but it turns out it landed in the part where the wall goes back a little bit and the wall gets higher, and it just barely missed the balcony. I have never been to Yankee Stadium, but I was sad when they tore down the original.

I've been inside the hotel and ate at a fine restaurant which had a great view of the ballpark.

Lucky! Watching a game and being accommodated at the same time.

Plus fine dining, rather than ballpark food, and it costs less than tickets.

I'd totally travel with you for some fine dining and baseball, because, obviously, you know a great deal about baseball.

I love fine dining. More ballparks should be like Rogers Centre.

Imagine fine dining in a place of accommodation that gives you an aerial view of the field in San Francisco. Now, that's a beauty.

Is that a minor league team? I live in Kane County, where the Kane County Cougars play. The are a low A MiLB level team. Carlos Gonzalez, Ryan Dempster, and Kyle Schwarber were on the Cougars.

Rogers Centre also has a HOTEL! Are you freaking kidding me? A ballpark HOTEL!

Seriously, why don't other ballparks have hotels?

Some stadiums are on seaside, so there is virtually no space to make hotels.
Others? I have yet to find out.

I had a burger. However, Alfredo Simon was an actual Tigers pitcher. Also, Mark Buehrle was pitching.

He only pitched six innings, but allowed only two runs.
