A very superficial and disappointing book. Barely gives more information than can be found on team web sites and less information than in other books. Basically a book of seating diagrams and driving directions. Very little commentary on the venues or the cities. No pictures. Glosses over the Canadian cities. There is a need for this kind of book for sports fans and with the publication of this particular book, sadly, the need still exists.

The Sports Fans' Guide to America brags that it has information on sports venues even ones that will be opening in the future, yet it doesn't even have the Arizona DBacks or thier stadium listed (this is their 2nd season).

This book is basically a look-up guide for seating charts for a lot of sports arenas in North America as well as directions on how to get there. And as Tulumello writes in the front of his book, you can find these same charts in the local phonebooks. So why buy his book? He does have a few good general pointers about buying tickets, but mostly this book is too general, covers too many sports arenas and glosses over all of them, with very little information on anything.

He also mentions his preference for Amtrak over air travel - that it can often be faster and cheaper. Like the 12 hour train from Minneapolis instead of the 50 minute flight?

It would be more helpful if someone wrote one book on ballparks, one on football fields, one on basketball courts, etc. and spend more time on each city. With insider info on each venue.

This is a great book,it gives you info on evry major stabium in america. I gives you parking info, eating info, and best of all a seating chart off all the stadiums. I really think you should buy this book. It Was A Great Book!

This book is full of key information to assist anyone interested in attending a major professional sporting event in the U.S. As a person who does this regularly, I have spent hours tracking down seating charts, phone numbers, etc. This book provides this information at your fingertips as well as helpful hints on sportsbars, local transportation, and more. This book will be a valuable resource to assist in my sports travel for years to come.
