Do you do it? Attending games alone

[cyinside224]

With my girlfriend moving out of the country, it looks like I'll be attending most ball games this year alone. Most of my friends either are not into baseball, or are types that attend a game once a year for kicks.

Any member of the OS find themselves in the same sitiuation? If so, what's your take on it? Personally, it gives me an opportunity to "treat" myself. I bought a $120.00 club level seat to see the Cards when they come to San Francisco. Seats right behind the Giants dugout!



Friends and colleagues not caring for baseball shouldn't deter you from your love of the game!

I've never done it. I wouldn't be completely opposed to it, but I live 2 hours from Milwaukee, so if I only get to 5 or 6 games a year. If it were closer, I'd go by myself, but if I'm driving that far I might as well find some people to go with.

Depends how close you live to the stadium I guess. I go to LSU midweek games by myself all the time, but that's a completely different level.


But then again, I do have "ballpark friends" so I'm never really alone.

Yes, most of my friends are Cub fans and I only live about 30 minutes from US Cellular. But then again, I'm kind of a loner, so I'm completely in my element attending a ball game alone. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's nice to sit and watch a ballgame, LIVE, with no one talking in my ear. My version of peace & quiet I guess.

Absolutely not, that takes a lot of the fun out of going to the game.

I'm a 5 minute train ride from Progressive Field, so yes, I attend games alone sometimes and usually buy the best seats that are still available which are usually a few rows behind home plate.

I've done it once, and I enjoyed it, as someone else has said, it was peaceful

I do this often. My friends are not going to spend 150 or 200 too see a baseball game, but I will.
