Welcome to a new feature for Tickettothegame.com. We’re going to go around the major leagues – one ballpark at a time – and I’m asking what I believe to be the four key questions that determine how to have a great experience at any ballgame. I’m asking for you, the readers, to provide feedback, either in the comments here, or on the facebook page.
1) Where should I sit? Regulars always know the best places to sit, and the worst. What sections do you target? Is the 3rd base line preferable to the 1st base line? Is there a specific section that’s half the price of the seats just in front, making it a great value? Is the bleacher experience not to be missed? Are there hidden ticket deals to be had?
2) What makes this park unique and special? Whether it’s the Western Metals Supply Building in San Diego, or Monument Park in Yankee Stadium, each ballpark has a “treasure” What’s not to be missed?
3) What should I eat? Part of the ballpark experience is what makes the concessions here different/unique/local? Every ballpark has its signature. If you were telling someone to get one thing, what would it be?
4) What else should I do? Before/After the game, what are the local traditions? Is there anything else in the area, or do people just vacate? Are there “amusements” within the park, like Turner Field, or is it a special watering hole that adjoins the park, like the area around Fenway?
Your answers here will help your fellow ballpark traveller in the future. So let’s start with Camden Yards… How will you answer these four questions for a first time visitor to Baltimore?
