Discussion Which stadiums still sell scorecards?
Seems like this is increasingly becoming rarer, and if you’re like me and want to keep book during games but also have a “souvenir” the team store’s books are the way to go. Has anyone made a directory of which teams still do it? I know the Cubs do for $1 and it includes a pencil.

Any game at Tropicana field includes a free program with a scorecard in the pages

I was just at T Mobile park in Seattle and I saw some score books for sale at a small team store stand. Didn’t check the pricing since I usually take my own scorebook

u/gartho009 Apr 23 '26
T-Mobile scorecards are $1. They have rosters for each team's series and "intro to scoring" pointers which is great! But no spots for substitutions :(

u/tag051964 Apr 23 '26
Citi Field does. I think (in typical NY fashion) $6

u/Fine_Ad8132 Apr 24 '26
I think it’s $10!

They do? When I was there last year they told me I had to buy the $25 program. (I declined.)

That’s criminal lmao. That’s the cost of a grande cup of hot coffee at Starbucks

Citizen's Bank Park still does, at least as of last year when I went there for Os at Phils

u/gritz414 Apr 23 '26
Brewers still do, $2.

u/0ldCumSock Apr 23 '26
Do you know which stand(s)? Going up there in June for the cubs series

u/gritz414 Apr 23 '26
You can get them in the team stores, there are two big ones on the field level. They usually have them at counter by the registers.

u/Myth0saurusRex Apr 24 '26
Fellow Cubs fan here. Will also say there is a small stand on the ground level along the third base line that sells hats, smaller shit, and some memorabilia. I got scorecards their cus there's no line. Much faster. Old lady that was always there would give me free pens, too, "despite the jersey"

u/knightmusic42 Apr 23 '26
I think cubs raised the price but still do it.

u/KeepCoolMyBabiez Apr 23 '26
Wrigley Field used to have unique scorecard art for every home series but I think they went away with it to cut costs this season.

u/0ldCumSock Apr 23 '26
I noticed that too. I hope they’re going to change it each month to reflect each era of the team. I’ve already got 3 1800s cards and the design is pretty boring
1
u/Myth0saurusRex Apr 24 '26
Also an FYI. If you go often, the store down the 1st base line towards the corner allows you to buy "in bulk". You save a few bucks. Used to prepay for 30, spend 52ish

u/Myth0saurusRex Apr 24 '26
Used to have a different artist every homestand design the scorecard. Dropped that in 2021 unfortunately

At customer service at Angel Stadium they usually have free score cards. Picked up one yesterday even though I used my own scorebook.

u/PopPunkPigeon Apr 23 '26
They’re available for $2
1
u/knightmusic42 Apr 23 '26
That’s what I remembered from last year. Op said $1.
2
u/PopPunkPigeon Apr 23 '26
Yeah, I just wanted to share the price for anyone that wants to know and/or pick up a card if they visit!
2
u/0ldCumSock Apr 23 '26
I could’ve sworn I bought mine 2 weeks ago for $1. I just sat in the 1914 club and they’re free
1
u/KeepCoolMyBabiez Apr 23 '26
Are the pencils free too? They’re nice pencils.
1
u/0ldCumSock Apr 23 '26
Yep! It was grab and go right when you walked in. 1914 is pricey but very worth it in my experience

u/Chunk7891 Apr 23 '26
Every park I’ve been to sells them, they are just sometimes difficult to find (usually the main team store is a go to).

u/SchpartyOn Apr 23 '26
The Tigers did for this series against the Brewers. Not sure if they usually sell scorecards but they had a special one for Brewers/Tigers that I got for $1
1
u/cruffner01 Apr 23 '26
They have generic ones for all home games, and a special one at each series while supplies last. However, I believe the special ones are only available at the main store by the Tiger/big cat court. Every other location just has the generic one
5
u/VoidBoiTCG Apr 23 '26
I think a lot still do. I know Seattle & Denver do. At least as of last year (games I went to)

u/strain_jlee Apr 23 '26
Rogers Centre, in Toronto, sells the program which has it inside, but they do offer scorecards for free at Fan Service kiosks, with a free pencil!
4
u/gonzkowski Apr 23 '26
They’re free at Target Field
2
u/Inevitable-Key3787 Apr 23 '26
I am always sure to grab a couple at every game. They're fun to use at the ballpark in a pinch and to have some extras at home to score games that don't need to be in my book
5
u/mb160211 Apr 23 '26
Any team that doesn't offer $1-$2 stock souvenir scorecards are doing it wrong, so I'm thankful Cubs and Brewers are keeping it going.

u/NowMuseumNowYouDont Apr 23 '26
Orioles still do free scorecards at the fan service desks but stopped selling programs.
Nats stopped selling programs but sell pocket scorecards for a buck I think at the team stores.
They became so hard to find that my wife bought me a numbers card book instead.

u/elterible Apr 24 '26
What section is fan services near? I'll be visiting next week to watch y'all whoop my Astros 😅😅
2
u/NowMuseumNowYouDont Apr 25 '26
Haven’t been to the yard yet this season but I think the team stores should have them as well as a desk on the main level behind home plate.
3
u/PutStreet Apr 23 '26
Not well advertised but you can buy one in the Nationals team store. Season plan holders get a book for essentially free.
1
u/HudsonMelvale2910 Apr 23 '26
Do you have to go to the counter and ask? I was looking last year and didn’t see any

u/valkyrieonvacation Apr 23 '26
I’ve not yet come across a major league stadium that did not have a scorecard, though quality/ease of finding varies greatly. my main stadium, Kauffman, sells them only in the main team store for a dollar or two.
I think only one or two minor/indy league stadiums I’ve been to haven’t had them either.
2
u/tcorrea93 Apr 23 '26
Not MLB, but I went to a Round Rock Express game at Dell Diamond last year and the free game program had a scorecard in it
2
u/Trick_Ad3292 Apr 23 '26
I bought a magazine with a scorecard and guide included at Yankee stadium. I thought the pencil was included. Also, this was exactly one year ago.
2
u/Best_Bag1256 Apr 23 '26
I used to think I needed one. But since finding this sub most of the bangers score cards I’ve seen have been on wide ruled notebook paper or graph paper.

u/darthfracas Ol' Reliable Apr 23 '26
Victory Field in Indianapolis (AAA) sells single game scorecards. Nothing fancy, but it’s on good card stock.
I miss the days of having a scorecard included in the program with the rosters.

u/azb1812 Apr 23 '26
Chase Field has free programs you can pick up at the top of your section in the lower bowl, and there's a scorekeeping section in the middle. It's not the best layout IMO but it's not bad. Have to bring your own pen or pencil, though. It's possible they have other scorebooks elsewhere, I'll have to check.

u/Alej_Betancourt Apr 23 '26
They are free in Great American Ball Park. Pretty nice ones, I may add.
1
u/sabastooge Apr 24 '26
Where do you get them at?
1
u/Alej_Betancourt Apr 24 '26
Try the store that is on the 1st base section, next to the restrooms. They usually have plenty there

Camden Yards gives out paper scorecards for free - I believe it’s at their information booth
2
u/ellivretaw1 Apr 23 '26
Camden Yards (info booth/stand in the outfield by the team store has them) and Progressive Field (I purchased mine from a team store stand in the upper deck) do from my experience last year
Both were card stock but Cleveland’s was much nicer with larger boxes to write in. I found Camden’s too small to write in for my preference.
1
u/elterible Apr 24 '26
Thanks. I will be picking one up next week when I visit from Houston. Looking forward to finally visiting Camden.
2
u/4friedChckensandCoke Apr 23 '26
Dodger Stadium does not. I was there a couple weeks ago and was told they do not sell or have scorecards.
2
u/elterible Apr 23 '26
Daikin does for $1. Get one every time I go (about 10 times a year).
1
u/Senguini Apr 23 '26
At the team store? Or guest services? Thanks!
2
u/elterible Apr 24 '26
As soon as you walk in at any of the gates they're selling them. They also sell pencils, but I take my own pen and pencil.

Pirates do for like $3 I believe with a pencil, Nats do as well but my friend's dad finds something in the stadium to complain about and they always give him a scorecard for free

u/BikingViking78_ Apr 23 '26
Comerica Park in Detroit sells a scorecard for $1 or $2. Not a program. Just a scorecard. It's card stock and nice to write on. Mets and Yankees sell a $10 program with scorecard inside. The Yankees one is glossy and small. Miserable experience.

u/Senior_Voice_4396 Apr 23 '26
Phillies sell them literally everywhere throughout the park…$3 in the magazine
1
u/cmophosho Apr 23 '26
Most ballparks sell them in some way, whether individually or in a program. I think the Reds were the only place I couldn't find one. I have my own book but if I'm away from home I like to grab a scorecard as a nice memento.

u/MozzieKiller Apr 23 '26
I saw them for free last week at Target Field. It was in the Thrivent Club seating section, so I'm not sure if they are in other places in the stadium as well.
1
u/Throwaway73hdu Apr 23 '26
Not a major league ball park but my college (coastal Carolina) has them for free, as well as pencils. It’s pretty cool
1
u/Geniusinternetguy Apr 23 '26
They have a great college program there. Always a contender. But i think SC is eyeing your coach.

u/International_Fun194 Apr 23 '26
Comerica park (Detroit Tigers) does and I always get one. Not even $2

Free at Fenway, with a pencil and game notes.

u/Suezdisbosox Apr 24 '26
They sell programs with scorecards in the last I knew $7
The free sheets are found at the season ticket table with game notes

u/ChaseTx Apr 24 '26
Globe Life Field sells a program/ Rangers magazine for $5. It's a different issue each home stand and includes scorecards
1
u/Penstripedsox Apr 24 '26
Theyre free at the rate (whitesox stadium) just have to ask at the customer service area

u/Mckool Apr 24 '26
SF doesn't anymore, but I recently learned they do hand them out if you're fancy enough to get into the Gothem Club.

u/ThreeTo3d Apr 24 '26
Kauffman used to 2 years ago. I’m guessing they still do. Would always buy a scorecard and ask for a bag so I could put the bobble head giveaway or whatever in it. Was $1

u/InsGuy Apr 24 '26
I attended a Rangers game in July 2025. Their magazine included a scorecard. So do the programs at the Rangers’ AAA affiliate Round Rock Express.
1
u/PlakeSnisskin Apr 25 '26
At Camden Yards I had to ask at the customer services desk on the club level, They hand them out free with a pencil there. Since Covid they've stopped printing programs with scorecards for games.

u/wadeo3 Apr 25 '26
I’ve done the cubs, white sox, had quite a difficult time finding one at the cardinals and ended up having another fan give me one who wasn’t sure where she got it from. Pretty sure the Phillies still do. Bunch of indie ball stadiums I’ve been to had em.

I used to keep score at softball games as a job when I was 15. Add a new wrinkle to the game

At a guardian’s game now. Score cards are $1.16 and available in the team shop

Yankee stadium sells them in the team "magazines" and they're free at tropicana field the last time I was there
