Nope. Though it kinda sucked to have to need a passport to see a ballgame

I'm about 1 hour from Fenway Park thanks to the Mass Pike -- on a decent day.

I can get to a professional ballgame in about 20-25 minutes; Rich Gedman and his CanAm League champion Worcester Tornadoes. Woo.

I'm closest to Fenway Park, although I've never been there. it's about 1-1.5 hours away. The only baseball stadium I've ever been to is Shea Stadium.

"Cross country" is an odd option. Who answered yes to that one - a Nunavut resident?

jaxmagicman · 02-03-2006, 09:27 AM

Major League

Marlins and Braves are both about 6 hours away.

Minor League Dodgers(AA- Suns)
10 minutes.

About 30 minutes to Great American for me, to watch our pathetic Reds.

The stadium where I've seen the most games is probably still old Tiger Stadium, followed by Riverfront/Cinergy. I'm sure GAB will pass them both.

akw4572 · 02-03-2006, 10:10 AM

Just about 20 minutes north to see the Reds if you still count them as a MLB franchise.

I can make Yankee stadium in under an hour. I can go to the Phillies in about an hour. Shea stadium is the worst stadium in the history of the world, so I would never go there no matter how close it is.

I'm afraid that if I ever go to another stadium I'll realize how bad Shea is and not want to go back. That would be unfortunate, given that my favorite team plays there.

But if you're in Vancouver, you don't have to go cross-country. You can go see Seattle. If you're in mid-Canada, you can see Minnesota or something. It's not really cross-country, is it?

guess it defines on your definition (and yes I had forgotten about Seattle and Minnesota). I can say that it takes bloody forever to drive across most provinces, or at least ti seems too.

Just over 4000 miles for me. I still make it to a game about once a year.

eriqjaffe · 02-03-2006, 02:06 PM

It takes about an hour for me to get to U.S. Cellular, a little bit more if I take public transportation - but it's so much cheaper, I can afford to buy a couple of churros!

Splitter24 · 02-03-2006, 02:31 PM

From the office to Fenway: 30 minute walk on a nice day. Cab can get me there in about 10-15 because of traffic.

From home to Fenway: About 45 minutes to an hour on the subway.

30 minutes to RFK and 1 hour to Camden Yards.
