8 Places In Michigan You Can Catch A Baseball Game

One thing Michiganders love about spring is the return of baseball. There’s something about the smell of fresh hot dogs and popcorn under the bright stadium lights. Maybe it’s the sound of the crowd cheering or the crack of a bat that gets fans excited. Whether you’re a super fan of baseball or going for the food and cold beer, a baseball game in Michigan has something for everyone to enjoy.

Michigan has one professional major league baseball stadium, three Michigan minor league baseball parks, an independent league baseball park, three summer collegiate ballparks, and over twelve college baseball fields. These fields can be found spread across Michigan. So you can stay close to home and still catch a game, wherever you are in the state.
