As I’ve done research about what drives people to visit multiple ballparks, what surprises me more and more are the women who go out on their own to visit parks. As I’ve built a small fan group on facebook, it’s almost entirely male dominated, yet the road trip blogs I find are primarily written by women.
Is this because women are just more likely to write diaries of their trips? Perhaps, but let’s feature a couple of good ones:
The Traveling Baseball Babes: They are out on the road as we speak… making their most recent stop at New Yankee Stadium just this past week. They take lots of photos, sample the local cuisines, and generally hit all the high and low lights of the area. they stuck it out through a 4 hour rain delay, they know their baseball, and they aren’t bad to look at… why aren’t you reading their blog?
Cait, Casey and Sarah are the Oh it’s Those Girls baseball blog. they love their Twins, and their frozen cotton candy confections. A fun breezy read, but not necessarily stadium centric.
Heather Nixon planned not one baseball road trip this summer, but two! Her blog details her first 20 day trip with a girlfriend, and now she’s back on the road for trip #2 with her dad.
Here’s to more women who appreciate a good stadium. know of any other great stadium blogs. Leave a comment and maybe your blog will be featured here as well!
EDIT: I missed a great site, and a true friend of Ticket To the Game. Amanda Lippert’s Baseball Stadium Reviews documents her visits to over 115 different stadiums. Lots of pics, and a great sense of what it means to be a baseball stadium traveller.
Hey, what about me?
