How Much Does It Costs to Propose at Every Major League Baseball Stadium?
While some find public proposals embarrassing, others find them annoying – either way if you’re a hopeless romantic and an avid baseball fan, it’s a perfect proposal opportunity.
Thanks to Molly Fitzpatrick of swimmingly.com all you raging baseball fans now know how to plan your MLB proposal!
Happy opening day and cheers to a eventful 2014 season!
Though all proceeds go to charity, exactly what’s offered in a proposal package varies tremendously from ballpark to ballpark — some teams even offer multiple price points. The Indians’ fireworks proposal could be the most romantic option, but the Phillies’ four-ticket package is a surprisingly good value.
Of course, if you’re feeling thrifty, you could always tuck a ring in your pocket, wait for a pitching change, then pop the question the old-fashioned way.
Here’s hoping that — either way — you don’t strike out.
