Since 2014, I have posted baseball-related travel resolutions. If you want to see how I did meeting my 2014 resolutions, read about it here. Starting off January 1, I made four resolutions relating to visiting Minor League Baseball stadiums. In 2015, I resolve to attend @KCCougars game while visiting @ChooseChicago for #AAG2015, and hopefully share a beer with @MWLtraveler. — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January 1, 2015 I started the year off on a good note, as I did in fact attend a Kane County Cougars game, and I got to meet Craig Wieczorkiewicz. Craig operates The Midwest League Traveler, which covers appropriately enough, the Midwest League. The first day I…

My night with the Nashville Sounds – Aug. 6, 2015
For the second year in a row I was in Nashville for a baseball game, but this season the Sounds were playing in a brand new ballpark instead of 36-year-old Herschel Greer Stadium (read about last season’s visit here). Although I was visiting a brand new stadium in First Tennessee Park, my visit was quite different because I attended the game with my girlfriend and two of her friends. Another wrinkle to my visit was that the previous day’s game had been suspended due to rain in the bottom of the first inning, so instead of a single game starting at 7 p.m. the Sounds hosted the completion of the…

Revealing my 2015 ballpark resolutions
Last year I made resolutions to visit some Minor League Baseball stadiums and wrote about those resolutions on this blog (read the post here) and recapped my success-failure, too (read post here).

Without further ado, my 2015 MiLB travel resolutions are… In 2015, I resolve to attend @KCCougars game while visiting @ChooseChicago for #AAG2015, and hopefully share a beer with @MWLtraveler. — Steven Ericson (@geoSteven) January 1, 2015 Annually since 2010, I attend the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The 2015 conference is in Chicago, and I plan to attend a…

My night with the Nashville Sounds – June 10, 2014
The first baseball game I attended at Herschel Greer Stadium was in March 2002, when the Georgia State Panthers visited the Belmont Bruins in a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference series. The first minor league game I attended was in July 2006 between the Round Rock Express and the Sounds, when I was attending the CoSIDA Convention in Nashville. Both events were long before I started blogging about my visits to MLB and MiLB stadiums, so when the Nashville Sounds announced that 2014 would be the last season at Greer Stadium I wanted to be sure to visit for “the last cheer at Greer.” Unlike MiLB.com’s Ben Hill, nobody had my…
