Toronto Blue Jays

This stadium is adorable. It doesn’t have the corporatized feeling of Steinbrenner Field (where the Yankees have spring training), and it actually has a much better selection of craft beer! REAL craft beer, not «crafty» beer that’s actually made by a Belgian-​owned conglomerate!
The other fans I chatted with were really nice. During the Seventh Inning Stretch, they don’t PLAY «Take Me Out to the Ballgame,» they announce that everyone should stand up (and everyone does), and instruct everyone to sing (then the PA system goes silent). I shit you not… every person in that stadium was on their feet, singing that song, and it was AWESOME! I had a huge smile plastered across my face. Totally heartwarming.
The Blue Jays were playing the Phillies, and it was actually a fairly uneventful game. Few errors and both teams were just playing well. The score was Phillies 1 – 0 for most of the game, until the bottom of the eighth when a Blue Jay hit a 3-​run homer… spectacular! And then there were some dramatic catches and double-​plays, some base-​stealing. Overall, a great day spent watching baseball.
The Yankees play 5 minutes from my house. It took me 45 minutes to get to Dunedin. However, the experience was way better and I’ll definitely be coming out again next year. Beer is cheaper here, food is cheaper here, water is cheaper here, as are the tickets. At the Yankees field you pay $ 10 to park in the lot by the Bucs stadium. Here you can find free parking if you’re patient, or you can pay $ 5 – 10 to park in a private lot or yard.
Attending this game makes me reconsider my loosely held loyalty to Ohio baseball teams.
Pro-​tip: Pull into the driveway like you’re going to the library. Pass through that parking lot and you’ll find $ 5 parking in peoples’ yards. Then after the game, go out the «back way» and you’ll avoid all post-​game the traffic. Score!
