Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

I did it on a solo road trip last year (O's, Nats, Phils, both Chicago teams), but I wouldn't do it on a regular basis. Much more fun with a few friends.

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

No, never have. Probably wouldn't for just a regular season game, but if say, it was game 7 of the world series, I had the money to get a ticket but couldn't find anyone to go, maybe. If it's an intense atmosphere I think it would still be fun, but if its just a normal game I think it would get boring.

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

I live about 40 minutes from Miller Park and I have never even thought about this.

But now that you got me thinking, I may just do this when I have nothing else to do, just drive to the ballpark and see a game myself. It wouldnt bother me one bit, in fact, the idea kind of intrigues me...

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

Man, enjoy it while you can. You only live once. I never have attended a game by myself I usually go with my 17 year old son, but he has moved to California for school, so looks like I have to replace him with my 7 year old son who has an interest in the game

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

I've done it a few times. I like going with friends and stuff but when I go by myself I'm much more into the game.

The first time I did it I felt kinda stupid because I felt like people were looking at me and laughing but now I just say **** it, I don't care what people think. I'm there to enjoy the game.

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

I do it all the time...last year went to about 20 Padres games alone. It's more fun when you have some friends, especially if they are into baseball, but I often can't find people to go with and I enjoy it just as much by myself.

I have two season tickets this year and my plan is to take my son to most of the games if I can...

Re: Do you do it? Attending games alone

I was out in San Francisco for work a couple years ago and went to Giants-Rockies by myself. I figured since I got a free flight out there and a per diem that I'd get the best seat available. 11 rows up between home and third, and Lincecum was pitching. It was kinda nice just roaming around the stadium checking everything out. Then I asked this guy and his son that were sitting next to me what the best public transportation to take back to my hotel was (it was about 25 miles away), and they gave me a ride because it was on their way back to San Jose where they lived.

If I lived in a city that had at least a AAA team, I'd probably go to a bunch of games by myself. I like to keep score, so I'd keep myself entertained
