Should I amend mine to say that I live about 6 blocks north of Kezar?

That's a heckuva drive!

[sweaver]

From my home it is approximately:

118 miles north to PNC Park

298 miles west to the new Great American Ballpark

264 miles east to Camden Yards

590 miles south to Turner Field

according to Yahoo Maps.

[Skip]

Interesting Sweaver, I never would've expected you to be nearer to Camden Yards than the GAB. I always forget how distances compress the further east (esp. northeast) one goes.

[hmrsf]

can someone do mine? email me.....please:bawl:

Depending on the source, we can be listed as being in the east, the south, the northeast, or the midwest. Or the mid-atlantic, although we certainly don't touch any oceans. I live slightly to the east side of the state, so it's closer to Bal'mer.

hm, you should KNOW how far it is to Fenway and to Montreal. Or hubby should, at least.

[gyb13]

40 miles SW of Oriole Park at Camden Yards
363 miles SE of Jacobs Field
505 miles E of Great American Ballpark
639 miles NE of Turner Field

and (maybe) within 10 miles of Relocation Park

[tortured angel]

About 6200 miles ESE of Pro Player Park.

More north than east for me. I'm about 2 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean. If I wanted to, I could pull a "Star Is Born" number most any day! ;)

Pretty much a ditto for me. Boomer and I are both in the KC 'burbs on the Kansas side.

Well, Candlestick is East of you, but you have to have a good tailwind to get there in time.

[cubfan33]

102 miles to Great American Ballpark

198 miles to Wrigley Field

247 miles to Busch Stadium

321 miles to Comerica Park

557 miles to Skydome

741 miles to Yankee Stadium

921 miles to The Ballpark in Arlington

948 miles to Fenway Park

2295 miles to Safeco.

and 10 miles to the best ballpark in America, Victory Field (AAA).

[SmedIndy]

[Doobster779]

56 Miles South of Yankee Stadium
53.6 Miles North of Veterans Stadium
59.1 Miles South of Shea Stadium
143 Miles North of Camden Yards


I'm right in between the Philly and NYC Parks almost exactly...Wow.

[Rajah]

Not sure if I'm supposed to use driving distance or exact distance from my house to the ballpark, if I were able to fly there.

I'm using driving distance, since I can't figure out how I'd get the distance the other way...

Wrigley Field - 31.1 miles northeast
Comiskey Park - 24.1 miles east/northeast
Miller Park - 106 miles north
Busch Stadium - 275.1 miles south/southwest
Coors field - 982.8 miles west
Nothing due south
Safeco Field (strange, they list a PO Box) - approximately 2125 miles northwest
Cinergy Field (yahoo doesn't like the address) - approximately 308.4 miles southeast

[TimmyB]

Fenway is 146 miles SE
Olympic Stadium is 180 miles NW

[hmrsf]

[Glyndwr]

These are driving distances (or walking distance in the Skydome's case:)

North : nothing (some nice skiing though)
West: Skydome 1 mile
South: PNC Park 341 miles, Jacobs field 298 miles
East : Fenway 545 miles or Olympic Stadium 341 miles

[Skip]

Glyndwr - you have the coolest name here; you need to post more!

[TGwynn19]

Pro Player Stadium is 115.2 east
Tropicana Field is 141.9 north
Minute Maid Field is 1127.8 west

I could not find an address for any Cuban park south of me.

[Max Power]

I thought you were closer to Pro Player Stadium - - you go there a lot, no?

[hmrsf]

I am 320 miles from Montreal.

I am 90 miless from Boston.

This information was gathered from my better half and a AAA road atlas:D

[TGwynn19]

I go quite a bit. It is a very easy drive. Alligator Alley to the Turnpike and there is an exit from the turnpike that dumps you into PPS. Takes less than 1.25 hours. And with 7,500 rabid Marlins fans it does not take much time to get out;)

[Wolf Hopper]

Bumping this one up - since we have some new members that may be interesting in sharing.......

[pwdennis]

425 miles South of Turner Field
212 miles North of Pro Player Stadium
120 miles East of Tropicana Field

........and, there is no MLB park to my east..........(actually several stadiums might be to my east, but directly to my east is the Atlantic Ocean - about 50 miles east)

[satchel]

Since I moved in March, I now live walking distance from Fenway - 1.5 miles. I thought that might make me the closest NDF'er to a ballpark, but I see on reviewing the thread that Glyndwr is even closer to Skydome than I am to Fenway.

(One of the once-proposed new ballpark sites in Boston is directly outside my office window, but that is not likely to happen.)

Anyhow, here's mine, from home:

* < 1.5 miles W of Fenway Park
* ~200 miles NE of Yankee Stadium
* ~600 miles E of the Jake (I think Cleveland is probably the closest to due west of any park)
* ~300 miles S of Olympic Stadium

[Wolf Hopper]

Satch - can you hear the crowd noise from Fenway where you live?

[rza93]

1.5 miles E of Shea Stadium
10.6 miles SE of Yankees Stadium
Nothing to the West except Long Island
North probably Vets Stadium but cant find the address

[Molechaser]

I think I might be the closest:

0.7 miles to Wrigley Field (NW)
9.7 miles to US Cellular Field (f/k/a Comiskey Park) (S)
349.1 miles to Jacobs Field (E)

Other than Wrigley, which covers both North and West from my home, the closest park to the North is Miller Park, 88.5 miles. To the west, I suppose the closest park is Coors Field, 1021.8 miles away.

Yes, I can hear the crowd noise at Wrigley Field on the rare occasions when something exciting occurs there. :)

[rico_p]

It might not be as exact as getting driving directions from Yahoo, but I used this travel page on Baseball Reference to figure out my distances: http://www.baseball-reference.com/travel/

5 miles South of Yankee Stadium
7 miles West of Shea
85 miles NE of the Vet (not for long, though)
173 miles NE of Camden Yards
185 miles SW of Fenway
317 miles NE of PNC Park
328 miles S of Stade Olympique
344 miles SE of Skydome
403 miles SE of Jacobs Field

Of these, I've yet to visit Jacobs and PNC.

[rico_p]

Oh, and by the way, I'm also:

6.7 miles S of where Hilltop Park stood
4.5 miles SW of where the Polo Grounds stood
8.3 miles NW of where Ebbets Field stood

[Joseph]

196.1 miles north west of Kauffman Stadium
527.0 miles west of Wrigley
554.4 miles west of U.S. Cellular Field
433.7 miles south west of the Metrodome
442.3 miles west of Busch
442 from Coors
473 from miller park

[satchel]

Satch - can you hear the crowd noise from Fenway where you live?
I haven't noticed it. Perhaps on a warm night with the wind blowing just right and a particularly noisy (i.e. , Yanks are in town) crowd it would be possible. A mile plus is a long way for sounds to carry, and there are always other city noises a lot closer. But I might be able to hear it from my roof deck. I'll have to remember to try next season ... :( <---- end of baseball season sad face

[Fatwater Fewl]

Being a fine Maritime Canadian, I think of distance in terms of time.* By car, I'm approximately 13 hours east of Olympic Stadium. About the same for Fenway. And about 18 hours east of SkyDome.

*Figure speeds of 65 - 70 mph.
