10 down, 20 to go. (Kauffman Stadium-Kansas City)




Welcome to Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. I really enjoyed my visit here. Before the game I went to the Royals Hall of Fame at the stadium, which was a really cool (but admittedly short) experience. They had a nice tribute to Paul Splittorff and Memorial Day festivities at the park. The Royals Hall of Fame blended in nicely with my previous day's visit to the Negro Leagues Museum in KC, which I definitely recommend to anyone in town.

So the city, its museums, and its stadiums are all recommended. I can't speak for the stadium food, I didn't have any (a shocker, I know). However that turned out to be a good decision from the saving money standpoint considering I got a speeding ticket in Kansas. So just as a tip, any baseball lovers, keep the speedometer on the dial while in Kansas.

Happy traveling.

9 down, 21 to go. (Coors Field-Denver)





Welcome to Coors Field in Denver. Everyone knows it as being a launching pad for baseballs, but ever since the humidor has come onto the scene it hasn't been, so much. The park is in a cool part of town, Blake Street has tons to do as far as pre or post game activity. The sight lines in the park are good, and it even has that cheesy purple row of seats a mile high.

What food I did try wasn't that great, maybe the Mexican fare was better but I'm not much for spicy food. The crowd was knowledgeable and really into the game. The brick facade really gives a homey ambiance to the place. Definitely a recommended place to visit when you're in Denver. I didn't see any Denver omelets on the menu, maybe another time.

Adios for now!
