Has anyone attended an MLB game this year? I'd love to hear about your experiences and how it might've been different from pre-pandemic games. I haven't been to one yet, but will go to several in June and July.
I usually go to about 20 or so a year, mostly on trips to New York to see the Yankees, Mets and whoever they're playing. In addition, when my dad retired about 15 years ago, I've taken a trip with him to various cities where we go to a bunch of games, visit touristy things like history museums, and eat way too much food. While dad is not a huge baseball fan, he seems to enjoy being there with me. I joke that his favorite part is the fourth inning. That's when he'll say he hears a helmet cup of ice cream calling his name, and he'll go get some.
This year, dad can't go because he's getting over an illness and figures he should stay close to home. We might take an abbreviated trip of two or three days to Atlanta in August. Not sure yet. In the meantime, he has encouraged me several times to go somewhere I'd like to go. Because of the pandemic, hotel rooms are much cheaper than usual, so I figured I could pick somewhere that ordinarly would be tough to swing financially. I picked a week in June to San Francisco to see the A's, then the Giants. Dad and I went to San Fran in 2010. Even so, I won't be able to go. (If you live in California, you've figured out why already.)
The state of California won't let teams sell tickets to someone with an out-of-state address. As far as I know, the rest of the country is more than willing to take my money.
Anybody else like to take baseball trips? Or, go to games if you have a team close by?
