That's what I'm planning to do. One of the guys is from Pittsburgh. I saw a Penguins game with him right after the new arena was built. We had a great time in the city. We were planning a PNC game for a few years, but never could make it work. I went with two of the other guys on a road trip to see an Indians game when the Jake opened, and then we drove to Detroit for a game at the old Tigers Stadium the season before it got torn down.

I was hoping to go to Detroit last summer but couldn't coordinate schedules with the buddy I planned on going with. We were trying to go when the Jays were in town. That same friend of mine is going to Japan next month and he is planning to catch an NPB game while there.

I would like to see a game in Japan. I just discovered that league has been around since 1950? I wonder if US influence postwar was involved.

incredibly high energy in the stadium even for a pretty meaningless regular season game

Baseball is very popular in Japan. I would love to catch a game. Not sure I am a big fan of a 14 hour flight but I would definitely like to visit Asia at some point. I have never been.
