Actually, that's one of the things I've always wanted to do, too. I'm at, uh, 4 so I'm not making much progress (Kaufman, Wrigley, Metrodome, Astrodome).

The Royals games around that are the 5th and 14th but they're on the road all the days between.

So, I'll probably start a thread when the test time is closer, but I will need suggestions for a few nights of relaxation in KC. I'll probably fly in on the 9th and might stay until the 13th.

As far as KC is concerned, I don't know the area at all. But to relax, Antmeister suggests getting a massage... that'll do the trick. I suggest maybe mediating or listening to some Natural Sounds CD's while goin' to sleep.

BTW, big congrats! That's freaking AWESOME! Looking forward to your June post.

Oh, if you like baseball, the Negro League Museum is in KC. It shares a building with the American Jazz Museum. I want to say it's under $20 to get in and very cool, if you're into museum-y stuff. The Negro League Museum reminds me of a smaller version of the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, but, of course, just about the Negro Leagues. Very cool when I went there about 3 years ago. I didn't know much about Jazz so the other museum was very cool, too.

Thanks to all for the congrats. Thank you for this tip. I would enjoy checking out both of these museums, and will put them on my "To Do" list.

I'm stuck at two (Coors Field and The Juicebox), well three if you count Mile High when the Rockies were playing there.

I really want to make it out to Boston and catch a game at Fenway before too long...

I really want to make it to Fenway too before too long.

I've been to Veterans Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Camden Yards, Candlestick Park, and the Toronto Skydome.

Edited to add: I went to plenty of games at Chavez Ravine when I was at USC.


I have plenty more that I need to go see in the upcoming years
