My son and I are passing through Baltimore on our way to a baseball tournament in July.  I want to take him to an Orioles game just to say we have been to Oriole Park (Camden Yards) and have seen a game there.  I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on a hotel that night, can anyone recommend something in the area?

You are probably better off getting a hotel in Baltimore County.  \nIt's cheaper and you won't have to worry about finding yourself in the wrong area.  It's only 10 minutes +/- from downtown.

Baltimore Orioles are very close to where you are. Or check internet MLB teams.

I am a huge Met fan. I usually follow baseball and my amazin mets through an assortment of ways (Go to see 4-7 games live, watch most on TV, listen to several on Radio). This year, a work assignment has me out of town from monday to friday in Atlanta (home of the hated Braves). I am seriously considering purchasing the MLB.com package and watching the games on the internet ...BTW, favorite Mascot is Mr. Met hands down...

Dick's, Champs...  But there is a store, I forget the name though that is located right next to B. Moss and Carlton Cards.  All sports collectables, shirts, etc.  You can't miss it if you come in the Filene's entrance.  Modell's is across the street, and Sports Authority is next to Home Depot

I sat in Section 10 Row 5 for $100 per seat.  Great seats.  However, if you are worried about money, just take anything in the 100 sections for about $70 if you can get it.  The bleachers are way overpriced and are not comfortable.  However, they are fun if you get there for batting practice.  Lots of homerun balls to try and catch.

Doug, any hotel in the downtown Seattle area will leave you with no more than a nice walk to Safeco (if it's not raining!).  I advise avoiding anything else unless you want to drive or use public transportation.  Among closer hotels, I know the Alexis is an excellent place.  Here's a link from Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau that will help you choose a hotel.  I hope you will find helpful.\n\nAs a fellow Mariners fan who lives far away from them too, and has seen a few games at Safeco, I only hope you will have as good a time as my wife and I did.  It is an extraordinary ballpark in an amazing city.  Go M's!

With the new ballpark, there really are no bad seats.  Seriously.  Just go to the Reds site and buy some available tickets.\n\nYou'll spend the time on the Machine Room deck getting drunk anyway...oh, wait...that's where I'll be.\n\nEnjoy!

I went to a race in VEGAS last year.  It was awesome.  I would like to go again this year because they are completely remodeling the infield.  I recently saw a rendering and the infiled will be set up so that you can see down into the garages.  I would tell you to go to  Vegas- since you live there, you don't have to spend money on the hotel or flight so use the money you would have spent on that and get a pit pass so that you can take advantage of the new infield.  Also Qualifying and practice day, is a good day to have pit passes.  The drivers are more laid back.

There's already been a lot of speculation about a new franchise starting up, or moving to Las Vegas.  While I live in NJ, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a major league team.  There is a booming population there and they would have plenty of filled seats from hotels buying packages of seats and giving them to their high rollers.  From a business standpoint, it is the best possible option.

I was at the Metrodome back in April and all I can say about this new ballpark - it's about time.  The Metrodome is a piece of junk.  There is absolutely nothing to do there except watch a game.  I go to a ballpark, and I want to be able to do more than that.  All I saw at the Metrodome was a ball field and seats.  BORING!!!  I hope all goes well with this new ballpark.  If it does, maybe I'll head back up there for another game.

Charlotte seems the logical choice there.  Jersey's too close to the Yanks and Mets, they won't be able to make a fan base there.  Same with Norfolk and the Nationals and Orioles.\n\nThe other's just arent viable places, in my opinion.

Yes Virginia, \nThere are true Cubs fans out there. I have been since one since birth (1956) I was raised on the 3800 block of North Sheffield Ave, 2 blocks north of Wrigley Field,  It was just another day in the neighborhood when there was a game. Awesome exhilleration!!\nWe could shag home-runs during batting practice, and trade them in before game time for free admission to bleachers, if you knew who to see. Seats cost a $1, YES ONE DOLLAR, for the bleachers, and that was the coolest place to be. Opening day was an un-official school day off and have been to opening days that the weather was nicer at the North Pole. Met Bill Veeck, Jr., owner of The Chicago White Sox in the bleachers. I could ramble for hours, but I won't. \nWhy do I Love them, can't answer that, all I can say is I am, and will always be a Chicago Cubs Fan.\nand for thorax371, you poor abused little boy, i pity your soulless existance.

If you go to ticketmaster there are still some good seats there. Also, the cards started a promotion where every morning at 9am of a home game, one of the gates at Busch Stadium will sell the first 125 people a pair of tickets for $11. The seats can be in any random place. Also try the Prime Seat Club at stlcardinals.com.

I was born in Baltimore and lived there through Senior year of HS.  It's always been in my heart!  I live near DC now and find that people are a lot nicer in Baltimore.  I dunno...maybe I'm biased.  But it's known as Charm City for a reason.  Steeped in its blue collar roots as a shipping hub, the people who live there work hard, care for their neighbors, and generally enjoy each others' company.  From what I can see, most Baltimoreons dislike the brashness and arrogance they perceive as a common trait among their other east coast port town cousins.  And there are some rough neighborhoods in the city, but you can negotiate through most of the city without any problems.\n\nI saw a reply that said it was boring???  You just have to know where to go.  Orioles or Ravens games are always fun.  Hit Federal Hill, Fells Point, or Canton for bars/nightlife.  There are a ton of places to go if you are into history/museums.  You can check out The National Aquarium which just opened an Australian outback exhibit or the Cloisters art gallery.  Go to Ft. McHenry where the Star Spangled Banner was written or check out the Edgar Allen Poe or Babe Ruth Museums for some info on the local born celebrities.  One of my favorite places to go is Lexington Market.  It's a few blocks from Camden Yards and is an open air style market situated in a giant warehouse.  Each vendor has their own little stall where they can sell produce, food, candies, etc.  My parents used to take me there as a baby.  If you want to get out of town for something different, it's simple to take day trips to Ocean City, Annapolis, DC, Shenandoah, etc.\n\nCheck out wikipedia for more info on the history of the city and I hope this helped you out.

Fenway Park and it's not even close. There is nothing that distinguishes Yankee Stadium from any other park out there. It's a cookie cutter stadium with no charm and no personality. It's in the middle of a shithole section of the city and there are some truly terrible seats in that place. I've climbed Mt Washington before, but I still don't think I was ever as elevated as the day I was in the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. \n\nOn the other hand, Fenway has one of the most unique fields in the majors. Everything from the green monster to the right field pavilion seats to the foul terrortory make the place stand out. The Red Sox own most of the surrounding neighborhood so they typically keep it clean and make sure that there's plenty to do. \n\nThe fans for both teams are considered to be the best and most knowledgable in the game...but mostly they're both just really annoying. They'll be really into the game at either place, but that doesn't make them any smarter. \n\nIf you really have to just pick one, go with Fenway and you won't regrett it. But the two are only five hours apart. You could always spend part of your trip in Boston, take the drive down to New York, and spend the rest of it there.

I live in Northwest Baltimore City and there are apartments in that price range here. They are in a somewhat nice area. I gues it depends on what you are used to. Feel free to e-mail me.
