Play ball!
Cubs lose 15-4 to the Brewers.![]()
Awesome! I still have not been to Wrigley. I plan in my lifetime to visit every ballpark in MLB. I have been to quite a few already and so far my favorites have been Fenway, ATT Park, Orioles Park (Camden Yard) and of course my hometown Coors Field.

Did they offer some kind of app to go along with the exhibit? The BM seems tech savvy, from what I've seen of its online exhibits and apps.

I like Coors Field best, because of the neighborhood. AT&T is beautiful, but the neighborhood seems too developed and shiny. Camden Yard is nice, but it's where it is, lol. I've yet to check out Fenway. How does it compare to the other three?
So far I've been to Veterans stadium, Skydome, Fenway Park, Angel's stadium, Coors Field and Comiskey Park. I've also seen The Tokyo Giants play the Yokohama Bay Stars in Yokohama, Japan.
Fenway was just one of my favorites because of the atmosphere and the overall history. If you just look at the niceties of the stadiums Fenway is pretty far down on the list, lol. It is hard to beat Coors Field, especially evening games with the overall atmosphere of LoDo (Lower Downtown).

There wasn't an app on offer with the 100 exhibits. However, there were various audio tours on offer, but we didn't try out any of them.
I was hoping to book a couple of places on a tour, during Open House Weekend, of the conservation centre which is under construction. All places were snapped up a long time ago. So much for the ballot system. However, the helpful lady at enquirer gave me a phone number to try to arrange a viewing. It will be worth a try

The was the new Comiskey park, before they changed the name to US Cellular field.
It is hard to beat Coors Field, especially evening games with the overall atmosphere of LoDo (Lower Downtown).
Kaykaykay said:Is Comiskey the one between downtown and the convention center area, by the train yard, or is that Soldier Field?
Thinking on it, the closest equivalent ballpark I've been to with a LoDo-ish atmosphere is Safeco Field in Seattle. But I think Coors Field still has the most going for it neighborhood-wise.
