Abstract

A stadium board game that relates to major league baseball comprising: a playing board; a set of game tokens, where each player advances around the playing board using one of the tokens; a pair of dice; multiple sets of admission tickets, where admission tickets are collected by players advancing around the playing board; and line up cards, where the line up cards instruct the player to position their token. The playing board may be double sided, where one side of the board game is used for the American League and the opposite side of the board game is used for the National League. The admission tickets are awarded or forfeited based upon the game space instruction. The stadiums of the board game are associated with the spaces on the playing board.
