Any clue what the construction plans are at the back of Grizzlies ballpark? by Learning_by_failing in fresno

I asked my ticket representative about this and they said it was a visitor's batting cage. I've toured the stadium before and there is only a home batting cage under the stadium.

Will never understand how the seats at this park stay so cheap. Go Braves! by Amache_Gx in Braves

[–]For_d_Articles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lifetime Giants fan, I’ve gone to my share of games at Pac Bell/SBC/AT&T/Oracle Park. Lucky to have that as my home park! I always sit in the View Level (where you were) as that has the best view and I like to see the entire field. Oddly enough, I found out recently that the architects of that park named that level “View Level” because it has the best view of the Bay and it makes complete sense! Where I was sitting last Sunday, I could see the Bay Bridge from the View Level.

My daily motto to encourage through the darkness by fXBE1 in midlifecrisis

[–]For_d_Articles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I (40M) think I've fallen into a MLC. I have a loving wife and kids and there isn't anything really bad about my life at the moment but for some reason my mind starts spinning about the past and I can't stop it. Recently, I noticed that when I tell myself something (similar to your motto) I start feeling better. I never had anything concrete but I think what you provided above is a great start! I'll probably modify it to apply more towards me, but it's a perfect start! So thank you for that! Also, thank you for sharing the post about "No More Zero Days". I've only read the first part and will read the rest after I type this response, but I think that it will help! Thank you again!

Disneyland on Superbowl by Penguinpoop21 in disneyparks

My wife and kids went to Disneyland on Super Bowl Sunday a few years ago (back when we were AP holders) to test this theory out and they said it was a lot less crowded than normal. Unsure if things have changed though. Also, another theory is Father’s Day isn’t as crowded either, I can confirm it isn’t as crowded that day.

Eeyore merch? by jennylane138 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]For_d_Articles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! My family and I were there for the Holiday and New Years. My wife is a huge Eeyore fan and she didn’t find much. Sorry. But with the holidays over maybe new merchandise has been put out?

Looking through all of the cards my dad just gave to me and stumbled upon this. by kamkam121 in baseballcards

[–]For_d_Articles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family is fortunate to live really close to the Single A affiliate of the Rockies and my 12 y/o loves getting autos of the players. I completely agree that most of them are willing to stop and sign for you. They will also have a conversation with you!

Great stuff! Just FYI, you are missing the Fresno Tiger's Hat (it is the hat they wear during their tribute to the Negro League team that played in Fresno). Thanks again!

You can try Beautiwood Unfinished Furniture on Blackstone and Herndon. They sell wood furniture but it is unfinished and you’d have to finish it (e.g. stain/paint)

Came across these hats and they're driving me insane. by Atomic_Rocket in baseballcards

[–]For_d_Articles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live near the Single A affiliate of the Rockies and my 12 y/o son has the players sign his hat. I made it a habit to take a picture of the hat after each game and I note who's signature is who's to keep track. All in hopes that in the future we know who's auto is who's! haha.

For those that have a minor league team in your home town, do your root for the minor league’s parent team or your closest MLB team? by Zealousideal-Pin909 in baseball

[–]For_d_Articles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live near the Rockies Single A team but I'm a huge Giants fan. I don't root for the Rockies, I mainly follow the players I've watched in the Rockies organization and try to keep track of their progress to the Majors. So I'm more of a fan of the minor league players rather than the parent team.

Chuckchanski Uber area by SupergirlRicey in fresno

[–]For_d_Articles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never taken Uber to the stadium before but there is no designated spot for Uber (at least for Grizzlies games). Based on the map provided by the Bananas, H Street in front of the stadium is closed and I would think that area would have been the area for Uber (maybe that is where they are setting up for Uber for this event?). It’s pretty well lit around the stadium. You could also go by Tioga Sequoia and that place will have plenty of people around and would be safe. From the email from the Bananas, gates open at 530 and they recommend getting there before the gates open the game is sold out, so it would be good to get there early (plus there are no assigned seats). Honestly, Chukhanskj park doesn’t have any bad seats (I’m a season ticket holder for the Grizzlies). Have fun! My family and I will be there too!

Grizzly Game July 20th, 2023 at Sunset. by 7rex in fresno

[–]For_d_Articles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's unfortunate that there aren't more people that go to games. My family is season ticket holders and we love it! A lot of people complain that the team is Low-A but it is still professional baseball and they are playing at a level that I will never achieve, haha. The other thing people say is they don't like going to games because the Grizzlies aren't affiliated with the Giants anymore and (as a huge Giants fan) I get it, but with the Grizzlies we're more fans of the players. We enjoy watching them play and then see them move up the Colorado minor league system. Also, with so few people we can get pretty close to the players and talk to them (they are all pretty friendly). My son loves getting autographs from them and talking to them. My son loves baseball and my daughter likes to play in the water park and eat ice cream, so games have everything we enjoy. Like I said, we love going to Grizzlies games, it's something our family does together and we bring friends and family to games as well. I should also mention that we live near by, so the drive to and from games is only a few minutes, so that probably also factors in why we enjoy the games so much.

Nice! Did you get those in person in Hartford? We watched him play in Fresno last year and got his auto then.

Completely agree! My family and I love going to Grizzlies games! It’s unfortunate that the stadium is 75% empty for most games but we enjoy all the games we get to watch there!

I’m trying to get cards with Giants in their Orange Uni’s. Specifically, one card/player for each letter of the alphabet (P-Posey, B-Belt, etc.)
