Peanuts and Crackerjacks – a great event for student tours

I don’t know about your house, but the television in mine has been completely taken over by baseball. It’s on every night. And it’s not that I don’t like baseball on television. After all, there are few background noises better for napping. 

But even with that mindset, I do thoroughly appreciate a day actually at a ball diamond. There are few experiences more thoroughly summer. And few experiences more perfect for your student group to enjoy together. 

That’s why baseball is a great event for senior class trips and other student travel. It’s something everyone can do together. It’s filled with local fans, giving you a true experience in the culture of the city you’re visiting. It’s got yelling, snacks, and competition. Plus, many of the nation’s ball diamonds are historical landmarks. 

The oldest park in the nation is in Boston. Fenway park tours are fascinating from the fiercely loyal fans to the still manually-operated scoreboard. A game here is rich with excitement, history, and culture. Wrigley Park tours offer a similar experience in tradition when you visit Chicago’s team and the second oldest diamond in the country. Passionate baseball fans should definitely visit these parks at least once. 

You probably have a favorite team nearby too – most student groups do. And a game is a great way to begin any regional student tour. Don’t think of student travel simply as a list of attractions to notice as you’re walking by. Consider an event like an exciting baseball game and really embrace the city of your tour.
