Below is the list of Club 124 members - those that have seen a home game for all 124 Big 4 teams. Once you enter the club, you remain a member for life, so those that reached Club 124 but have not seen all the new venues since opened are still listed. Those that have seen all 124 active venues are bolded.

If you are a member of this club or on your way to joining, please let me know and I will add you to the list.
Sean-You should do one of these pages for Club 160. You are probably the only member at this point, but i think Bob Deal is close and i will be down to 18 after this summer. Ty Kramer
ReplyDelete160 ? ? ? ?
Delete160 is the number of minor league stadiums - attending a game in every one doesn't get as much recognition as Club 123 because minor league ball is not as popular as the Big 4 sports. I'd like to work with minor league baseball if we did anything in terms of trying to publicize our travels as that would probably allow us to find more members, of whom I am sure there are many. It is actually easier to do 160 minor league parks because there are so many games, and ballpark chasers are more common than general stadium chasers. I'll see if I can get something started.
DeleteIsn't 120..the number of minor league stadiums? ( I've been to 147, but that includes teams/stadiums no longer in existence..so for rhe 120, I'm still about 30 away..fwiw)
DeleteIt is 120 now Mark, but it was 160 back in 2018.
DeleteAdd Soccer. Attendance is on par with NBA/NHL and growing faster. Averages...
ReplyDeleteNFL 67,254
MLB 49,065
NHL 17,423
MLS 16,910
NBA 16,758
No chance. This is hard enough as it is and MLS games are not worth the effort.
DeleteJust found this board. I’m only at 21 currently but I’m looking to get to Club 123 over the next decade or so. I’ve got 11 planned this winter to get me up to 32. Any tips you more experience travelers have?
ReplyDeleteWelcome Doug! No special tips other than the obvious - try to see as many games as possible on a single trip, so when seasons overlap is the best time to travel. Also, look for other sports to fill up an empty evening. Lots to see outside of the Big 4. Join all the frequent flyer, hotel, and rental car loyalty programs. They are all free and offer benefits, such as skipping the line when renting a car, which can save a lot of time and you can get free nights or flights with the others, especially with so many venues left to see. Good luck!
DeleteWhat’s the minimum count to be at right now to be in the future completion category?
ReplyDelete100 - once you get to 100, let me know and I will add you. When you get to less than 10 to go, I will list those remaining and then update as you visit.
DeleteI am sitting at 114 - and after my west coast trip this month I will be at 118. (Picking up SAC, GS, SJS, and LAK)
ReplyDeleteDM me on Twitter with your info and I will add you to the list
