The Major League Baseball season is set to kick off this week, with fans finally returning to the stands (albeit with reduced capacities) after the 2020 season was played without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. is a place with so much baseball passion, history, and culture, and contains a big concentration of great parks in a small space. You should definitely make plans to visit these three!

Camden Yards: Baltimore, Maryland

Opened in the 1990s, Camden Yards has become one of the most beloved places to watch a ball game since its inauguration. Located near Baltimore Harbor and featuring great sightlines and a scenic warehouse on Eutaw Street behind right field.

Yankee Stadium: Bronx, New York

The new Yankee Stadium opened in the Bronx in 2009 and has quickly become one of the Big Leagues’ best places to see a game. From the Bleacher Creatures to Monument Park, you owe it to yourself to see a game at the home of the world’s most storied baseball franchise.

Citizens Bank Park: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Few fan bases match the passion and loyalty that Phillies fans have, and there’s no better place to experience it than at Citizens Bank Park, their home since 2004. With a backdrop featuring the Philadelphia skyline, you’ll love taking in a game in this electric environment.

Baseball fans from all around the world flock to the United States year after year to take in games at stadiums around the country, big and small. Major League Baseball is the biggest league in the world in the sport, and if there is any U.S. state that serves as the epicenter of the game, it has to be California.

With five teams, California wields its might when it comes to America’s Pastime and has a number of lovely stadiums. Here are three that you should make plans to visit the next time you’re in the Golden State.

AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants)

Built in 2001 and located right on the edge of the San Francisco Bay, arguably the most beautiful park in baseball is the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park. The winners of 3 World Series titles over the past 11 seasons, you’re also sure to catch an entertaining game here.

Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers)

At the bottom of Chavez Ravine you will find Dodger Stadium, which opened in 1962 and is one of the biggest stadiums in the league, holding over 56,000 fans. The Dodgers are one of the best teams in the league and almost always are at the top of the league in attendance, and their passionate but laid-back fans are always fun to interact with.

Petco Park (San Diego Padres)

The newest park on this list is San Diego’s Petco Park, the gorgeous home of the Padres which opened just 17 years ago. In the middle of downtown San Diego and next to the Gaslamp District, hang out in the chic Western Metal Supply Company building or in the grassy picnic area in the outfield for a great evening of baseball.

Despite a nearly four-month postponement, the Major League Baseball season in the United States finally got underway last month. While fans might not be allowed in the stands at baseball games for now, there’s one place where fans of the game can attend even in 2020: the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.

Inaugurated in 1936 in a small town of under 2,000 people in upstate New York, around four hours from both NYC and Boston, there is no greater place on Earth to explore the history of America’s national pastime than this museum.

Featuring memorabilia from the history of the league, dating back to the late 19th century and extending to the present day, you’ll see all kinds of interesting baseball artifacts at the Hall of Fame. From Hank Aaron’s 715th home run uniform to the glove used to make “The Catch” by Giants outfielder Willie Mays, the number of historical baseball things you’ll find here is unprecedented.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-Rmkjn1Zq/

Opening day is usually around April 1, but if you just can’t wait to experience some baseball then head down to sunny Florida or Arizona for great weather and spring training. Fifteen teams have facilities all over Florida in the Grapefruit League, while the other fifteen call the hot desert of Arizona their home in the Cactus League.

If you want to combine baseball with a trip to Disney Land then you can see the Houston Astros or Atlanta Braves practice and play right outside of Orlando. If you want to spend more time on the beach then you can see 3 teams play near the Tampa Bay area, or in beautiful beach towns such as Bradenton and Clearwater.

Down in Arizona, multiple teams play near Scottsdale, Mesa, and Glendale, all beautiful cities with lots of amenities and sunny weather. Spring training is a great time to see your favorite players in a smaller, family-friendly environment, where the sun always shines and the sounds of baseball are back!

Believe it or not, Japan isn’t the only country in East Asia that has a strong culture of baseball. South Korea also has a passion for this classic American-born sport that is now practiced in many countries throughout the world.

Baseball lovers in South Korea will find a huge wealth of attractions and stadiums to check out. Here are three great places to see a game in the country.

Daegu Samsung Lions Park

The festival atmosphere at Daegu Samsung Lions Park in the city of Daegu is no surprise given the massive success of their home team. 24,000 fans regularly pack the stands at this almost new stadium, where fans are guaranteed to have fun.

Jamsil Baseball Stadium

While baseball in South Korea is now quite popular, this wasn’t always the case. In fact, when Jamsil Baseball Stadium was built in Seoul in 1982, it was the only major baseball stadium in the country. It maintains its quaint charm and is a great park to visit in the country’s capital.

Gwangju-Kia Champions Field

The Kia Tigers, the most successful team in the history of the Korean league, play their games at this stadium, the newest in the league. Its modern attractions and two tiers of seats holding over 22,000 fans are the perfect combination of state-of-the-art and Korean baseball tradition.

Ah, summer. The hot weather and long days mean that it’s time for baseball games to be played in the United States.

America’s national pastime isn’t just a sport. It’s a community experience where family and friends gather to spend a warm evening together outside, eating, drinking, and watching a game.

If you want to check out this sport, here are four stadiums that you must visit.

Fenway Park: Boston, Massachusetts

The oldest MLB stadium currently in use is Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. Any baseball fan must see a game here due to its fantastic gameday atmosphere and the grandeur of the Green Monster, a massive 37-foot high fall that dominates left field.

Oracle Park: San Francisco, California

Located right next to San Francisco Bay, this 21st-century park that plays host to the San Francisco Giants is a beauty. You can watch the sun set over McCovey Cove and marvel at the most gorgeous backdrop in baseball here.

PNC Park: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like if Gotham City had a team, go to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ home. Pittsburgh’s known as the Steel City, and it’s grey, jaw-dropping skyline is a sight to behold.

Recently renovated, the gameday experience at America’s second-oldest park is top-notch. Sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley on a summer afternoon with a cold beer in your hand is about as sublime as it gets.

Despite what many people may believe due to depictions of sports such as sumo wrestling and martial arts in western depictions of Japan, baseball is actually the most beloved and popular sport in this Asian country. It turns out that it’s not just America’s pastime.

Travelers to Japan that have an interest in this sport can take in a professional baseball game in the world’s second-best league, known as Nippon Professional Baseball. 

The Greater Tokyo area itself has 5 of the league’s 12 teams, including the Yomiuri Giants, the league’s most successful team that has won 22 league titles. They play in the world-famous Tokyo Dome which provides spectators with a raucous, almost party-like atmosphere.

Those interested in the history of baseball in Japan can also visit The Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to learn more about the origins of the game in the Pacific country, dating back to the late 1800s, as well as the figures such as Ichiro Suzuki and Sadaharu Oh that have helped to popularize Japanese baseball to a more international audience.

While many see baseball as only the American national pastime, visitors to Tokyo can easily discover that the game’s popularity extends to Japan as well.
