Ferencvárosi Torna Club, known as Ferencváros, Fradi, or simply FTC, is a professional football club based in Ferencváros, Budapest, Hungary, that competes in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, the top flight of Hungarian football. Ultimate Budapest Blog’s new post would like to introduce you to Budapest’s historic football club Ferencvaros and their history. In the last part of our blog post, you will find useful information about where to buy tickets without putting your credit card information in danger while buying Ferencvaros tickets.

History of Club

Ferencvárosi Torna Club was founded on 3rd May 1899 and quickly became the most popular sports club in Hungary. The colours of the club are green and white and the motto translates to ‘Morality, Strength, Consensus’. The badge design of Fradi was first published on the 8th of December in 1901.

The only club flying the Hungarian flag in European Cups in the 2022-2023 Europa League, Ferencvaros topped their group, leading them to the round of sixteen of the Europa League , formerly UEFA Cup. 

Ferencvaros Club has also branched out into athletics, cycling, football, gymnastics, and swimming, all of which are training young generations to potentially compete at national level in such national teams as the Ferencvaros Handball and Ferencvaros Hockey teams.

Ferencvaros FC Stadium

They are playing their home games at Ferencvaros Stadium known as Groupama Arena in Budapest with 23,700 supporters. Club officials are aiming to play in the Europa League Final. In order to reach their dream, they need as many fans as possible for their home games more than before.

Hungarian Athletes

Hungary is also known for many famous athletes and sport lovers in various fields, from water polo to gymnastics. Since the Hungarian national teams have been paying attention to youth academies, Magyarok (Magyars) or Nemzeti Tizenegy (National Eleven) have shown great improvement to the national team’s ranking, placing 36th in 2023.

Hungarian National Players in Other Leagues

With the recent successes of the Hungarian national football team in recent years, many national team players are playing in other European leagues and even further abroad. Some of the most notable players are Attila Szalai (Fenerbahçe), Willi Orbán (RB Leipzig), Milos Kerkez (AZ Alkmaar), Dániel Gazdag (Philadelphia), Roland Sallai (SC Freiburg) and Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzig).

Hungarian football seems to have started benefitting from the international experience of their players. The Hungarian National Football Team also has lots of players from Ferencvaros Football Club.

Hungarian National Team Players from Fradi

Based on most recent lineups, team captain Dénes Dibusz, Endre Botka and Péter Baráth are representing Ferencvaros Football Club on the National team.

Hungarian players are typically famous for their body size, academic background and high work rate during their play times. With their recent run of success around Europe at both club and national level, the world’s most famous leagues are starting to take notice of Hungarian National Players.  The English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A and others have been known to be trying to entice Hungarian players. 

Ferencvaros has been known to offer chances to youngsters to improve their potential. Some of the Ferencvaros Budapest match tickets are allocated by talent scouts from all around the world to give to shortlisted players. Based on recent attendance data, Ferencvarosi tickets are selling fast.

Ferencvárosi TC in European Competitions

Ferencváros has been the most successful Hungarian club in European football competitions having won the 1964–65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

The Hungarians hit the European headlines back in 1995, as Ferencvaros became the first Hungarian club to enter the group stages of the UEFA Champions League in the 95/96 season. Fourteen seasons passed before the feat was matched by Debrecen in 2009.

The new millennium also began promisingly enough, as Ferencvaros claimed a domestic triple of league, cup and Super Cup in 2004. The club again made Hungarian footballing history as the nation’s first to qualify for the group phase of the UEFA Cup in 2005. However, they were punished for a string of financial irregularities and hit with a compulsory relegation to the second tier in 2006. Their attempt to bounce back at the first time of asking fell agonisingly short on the final day of the following season.

The ‘Green Eagles’ finally regained their top flight status in 2009, finishing seventh in what ended up being a consolidating season for them. The 2010/11 campaign brought a third-place finish and a shot at the Europa League, although the men from Budapest failed to secure a place in the group stage. Despite the turmoil of recent years and the lack of a trophy since 2004, Ferencvaros comfortably remain Hungary ’s best-supported and most popular club.

Now under new ownership and with ambitious plans for redeveloping their stadium and training facilities, the Green Eagles will surely not rest until they are once again soaring above the rest of their domestic competition.

Groupama Aréna (Albert Flórián Stadion)

Groupama Aréna – stadium description

The plan of building a new stadium for Ferencvaros was born early into the twenty-first century.  First concept was drawn in 2008, another one in 2010 and then in April 2012 the one that eventually got implemented.

The great location near Budapest’s south-eastern bypass was retained, but the new stadium didn’t follow previous one’s blueprint. Albert Flórian stadium was demolished in spring 2013 and new stands were rotated by roughly 90 degrees.

The new stadium’s concept was a simple and clear one. Metal sheets on the roof, metal mesh on the facades, only except the main grandstand (covered with glass). The western grandstand accommodates the club museum, megastore, offices and all of the commercial zones, also including 370 underground parking places. From the inside the west side also includes 34 skyboxes and over 2,000 VIP seats.

Despite its size, the new stadium was built within just 16 months, by the domestic contractor Market. The project had cost HUF 14.735 billion or, upon opening, €46.7m / $62.6m.

Opening took place on August 10, when ‘Fradi’ met Chelsea in a friendly game. Since then the team became the stadium’s anchor tenant, while Groupama insurance company was introduced as the sponsor. Albert Flórian’s name wasn’t retained, but the legend of Ferencvaros was immortalized with a monument nearby.

LIBERATING FOOTBALL TRAVEL

Ferencváros

Record champions gain fifth straight title in 2023, a fan’s guide – the club from early doors to today.

Practically untouchable at home, where the Green Eagles have won five straight titles since 2019,  Ferencváros  (‘Fradi’ or FTC) enjoyed a decent European run in 2022-23. Beating all three of their opponents in the group stage of the Europa League, including Monaco, Fradi headed into spring with European competition to look forward to.

Defeat to Bayer Leverkusen didn’t hint at what was to follow in July 2023, a shock 0-3 reverse to KÍ of the Faroes, which led to the sacking of Russian coach Stanislav Cherchesov.

The upset silenced the fanatical home support FTC enjoy at the Groupama Aréna ,   built on the site of the   old Albert Flórián Stadion in record time for the visit of Chelsea in a curtain-raising friendly in 2014.

Five years later, a long-awaited 30th league title in the bag, Fradi stopped flopping in Europe to beat CSKA Moscow and twice draw with Espanyol in the Europa League. The following season, a win at Celtic under their belts, Ferencváros made the group stage of the Champions League for the first time since 1995.

The other significant element in the club’s rise on the European stage is Gábor Kubatov. This ex-MP for Hungary’s ruling party Fidesz was again voted in as club president on the same day in October 2022 that Ferencváros achieved a vital draw at home to Monaco to finish top of their group.

Installed as club president in 2011, it was Kubatov who helped raise the Ft13.5 billion/€40 million for the stadium rebuild. Ferencváros are and always will be Hungary’s most popular club, partly due to the fact that they remained the party in opposition during the harsh years of Communism.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing since the change of political régime. The decade between the title win of 2004 and stadium opening was been the worst in the club’s history. Later in 2004, a last-gasp goal by Sparta Prague pinched a group-stage berth from Ferencváros in the Champions League. Shocking mismanagement then led to the financial difficulties that forced the FA to send the club down a division in 2006.

An ever-present in the Hungarian elite since 1901, Fradi reacted poorly to the ignominy of lower-flight football, requiring three long seasons to achieve promotion. In the meantime, British businessman Kevin McCabe, then owner of Sheffield United, bought the club, prime real estate, debts and all, in February 2008. Ambitious plans for a stadium rebuild were announced. In 2011, the Hungarian government bought the club from McCabe’s company, and reworked the redevelopment.

The last official game at the old ground was a 2-1 win by Fradi over age-old rivals Újpest before a near capacity crowd on a national holiday weekend.

The club’s name refers to the IX district of Budapest where it was co-founded by lawyer Ferenc Springer in 1899. By the time they moved to their current site on Üllői út in 1911, FTC had five titles under their belt. Fittingly, Fradi’s first goal at Üllői út was scored by the prolific Imre Schlosser, who notched 400-plus for Ferencváros and then great rivals MTK either side of World War I. 1938 World Cup star, one-club stalwart Dr György Sárosi, assumed Schlosser’s mantle to gain five titles with 350 goals in the 1930s and 1940s.

Forced to change their name to Kinizsi and colours from green and white to red under the post-war structure that favoured Honvéd and Újpest, FTC were unspoken anti-Communists – the bitterest fighting during the 1956 Uprising against the Soviet-backed authorities took place not far from their ground.

The club came good again in the 1960s. Spearheaded by 1967 European Footballer of the Year Flórián Albert, Fradi made two European finals, winning the Fairs Cup in 1965. A decade later, with attacking midfielder Tibor Nyilasi, FTC made the Cup Winners Cup final in 1975, beating Kevin Keegan’s Liverpool on the way.

That season was Fradi’s first at the newly built Üllői út stadium, later named after Albert, whose namesake son played in the next great Fradi side. With Nyilasi as coach, FTC won the championship in 1992, the side starring András ‘Manci’ Telek and Péter Lipcsei going on to win the titles in 1995 and 1996.

Fradi made a debut appearance in the Champions League in 1995, a campaign marred by disgraceful behaviour by the club’s notoriously right-wing following against holders Ajax. A year later, FTC beat Alan Shearer’s Newcastle 3-2 in the UEFA Cup thanks to a brace by key midfielder Krisztián Lisztes.

Wins over Millwall and Hearts featured in the creditable UEFA Cup campaign of 2004-05 that followed the late, heartbreaking defeat by Sparta Prague in the Champions League.

It took three long seasons for Fradi to return to the top after their enforced relegation, promotion eventually achieved in 2009 under ex-Derby striker Bobby Davison. A string of managers then failed to lift Fradi above the top provincial clubs now dominating the Hungarian league.

After the departure of Dutch trainer Ricardo Moniz, FTC hired Thomas Doll and gained a European place in 2014-15. Zoltán Gera, a title-winner with Fradi in 2004 before successful stints at WBA and Fulham, also returned that year. 

With bullish striker Dániel Böde and precocious midfielder Ádám Nagy, the trio played a key role in Hungary’s long-awaited qualification for a major finals, Euro 2016. The vital last play-off game with Norway in November 2015 provided the Groupama Aréna with a night to remember – followed by Ferencváros taking a record 29th title that spring.

Coach Doll was kept in place for the 2017-18 campaign, which failed to see a 30th league crown. Former Spurs star Serhiy Rebrov then replaced Doll after ignominious European failure early in the 2018-19 season, and FTC won the league at a canter.

His side utterly dominant in the league title, Rebrov then turned his attention to Europe. Turning tricky winger Tokmac Nguen into a proven goalscorer, Rebrov oversaw a victory over spirited Lithuanians Süduva at a near full house in Budapest to guarantee passage to the group stage of the Europa League in 2019. 

Evenly matched in most games, Fradi came awfully close to dispatching Espanyol in the penultimate game for a place in the knock-out round as two stoppage-time goals put the Hungarians ahead, then pegged them back. His players nonetheless buoyed with confidence, the atmosphere at the Groupama Aréna ferocious, with ever-more inventive pre-match displays, Rebrov’s Fradi then swept through the qualifying stage of the Champions League in 2020.

Reaching the group stages for the first time in a quarter of a century, Ferencváros gave a disciplined display at an empty Celtic Park. Playing during the pandemic summer of 2020, the Hungarians struck early thanks to a long-range effort from the ever-smiling Dávid Sigér, kept the Scots at bay then took the lead again as Celtic tired. A blistering run from Nguen, known to Fradi fans as simply Tokmac, a Norwegian international born to South Sudanese parents in a refugee camp in Darfur, culminated in a classy finish.

With little chance in the Champions League group stage against the giants of Barcelona and Juventus, the Fradi players, some now in Hungary’s successful national squad, gained valuable experience against the world’s best. Midfielder Sigér, goalkeeper Dénes Dibusz and defender Endre Botka upped their games to come into the international reckoning as the Magyars qualified for another major finals in 2019.

For five years until the opening of the new-build Puskás Aréna in late 2019, the Groupama Aréna became Hungary’s de facto national stadium, the atmosphere for vital qualifying games as fiery as Fradi’s.

A narrow, high-scoring aggregate defeat to Young Boys prevented another stab at the group stage in 2021 though Fradi gave a reasonable account of themselves when thrown in with Celtic, Bayer Leverkusen and Betis in the Europa League later that autumn.

By now, Rebrov had taken the club as far as he could and headed for the UAE. A first posting outside of German-speaking Europe for the experienced Viennese coach Peter Stöger proved a step too far, so in came Stanislav Cherchesov. Turning Fradi’s 2021-22 season around, the Russia manager from the 2018 World Cup led FTC to their first double since 2016.

With another Norwegian international, Kristoffer Zachariassen, hitting prime form, Fradi reversed the aggregate in a bitter clash with Slovan Bratislava in a 2022-23 Champions League qualifier. Thirty years after horrific scenes in the Slovak capital between local riot police and Fradi fans, the club gained revenge of sorts with an emphatic away win, 4-1. 

Failing to repeat the feat against Qarabag in Baku, Ferencváros fell into a tricky Europa League group but were kicked into gear by the ever inventive Tokmac. Somewhat sidelined as other clubs snooped around for him, the Norwegian justified his selection by ghosting into the box to open the scoring early in the first game against Trabzonspor. 

Taking three points to Monaco, Fradi duly shocked the recent French champions with a late strike that settled the tie. After two tight, fiery fixtures with near neighbours Red Star Belgrade, FTC hosted Monaco, the ultras’ display riffing on the theme of Formula 1 on a memorable night at the Groupama Aréna. A late equaliser from Zachariassen, put through by a superb pass from his compatriot Tokmac, sent the stadium crazy and Ferencváros to the knock-out stages of the Europa League. 

The final took place in Budapest – a bridge too far for the capital’s best-supported club.

Stadium Guide

The field of dreams – and the stands around it.

Opened in 2014, the Groupama Aréna   was then the most significant football ground to open in Hungary for 60 years. With an all-seated capacity of 22,700, increased to nearly 24,000 when standing home supporters may use adaptable seating, the arena was created with fans in focus. There’s even a podium for someone to conduct the singing at the home end.

Other features include two floors of skyboxes, each with a historic figure from the club’s history on the door, a VIP area, a bar/restaurant, a club museum and a smartcard system for all types of payment. WiFi was an all-too-rare facility when first adopted here.

Away fans access through gate 4 to sector E, in a corner between the skyboxes and the (slightly) quieter of the two ends. The hard-core Fradi faithful occupy sectors B2-B3, the signs indicating B-Közép a historic hangover from the Üllői út days.

The Groupama was also used by Hungary’s national team while the Puskás Ferenc Stadion was being rebuilt. In November 2015, it was the scene of celebrations not seen in Hungary for decades, when the Magyars beat Norway in a play-off for Euro 2016, a first major finals since 1986.

For 2018-19, with Ferencváros bowing out to Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Europa League, rebranded MOL Vidi used the Groupama Aréna for their European campaign, involving the visits of Chelsea, BATE and PAOK.

For European fixtures, the sponsor’s name of Groupama must be dropped and ‘Ferencváros Stadion’ used in its place. The arrangement with the French insurance company runs until 2024. The huge eagle placed in front of the stadium is the work of Csepel-based sculptor Gábor Miklós Szőke, also responsible for the vast falcon outside the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. 

The stone statue of club founder Ferenc Springer is the same one that once stood near the pitch at the old Üllői út ground. The bronze figure of Flórián Albert was unveiled around the time of the new stadium opening in August 2014.

getting there

Going to the stadium – tips and timings.

The Groupama Aréna is   right beside  Népliget , a station on the blue M3 metro line  halfway between the city-centre transport hub of Deák Ferenc tér and the southern terminus of Köbánya-Kispest. At Népliget metro station, head for exit H for the stadium, signposted. 

Until 2023 at least, the M3 does not run between Deák Ferenc tér and Népliget. Currently on weekdays, the service runs from and to Kálvin tér, close to the city centre. At weekends, there’s a replacement bus ( potlóbusz ). The southern section of the blue line is operating normally.

The stadium is also served by tram 1 , which runs every 10mins until nearly midnight and calls at Puskás Ferenc Stadion on red metro line M2. The tram stop is clearly signposted in the Népliget metro station underpass.

The stadium is diagonally opposite the city’s main bus terminal of Népliget , for international and domestic services. If you’re coming directly from the airport , take bus 200 as far as Köbánya-Kispest then change for the blue M3 line, or faster, direct bus 100E to Kálvin tér and take the metro from there, remembering that it’s replacement buses at weekends.

Buying tickets – when, where, how and how much

Ferencváros are the only club in Hungary who insist on presentation of a  Fan Card before you can buy a ticket. 

The registration process is quick but has to be carried out in person at the stadium ticket office (Tue-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat 9am-1pm or until kick-off, match-day Sun & Mon) on Üllöi út. It costs Ft1,000/€2.45 during the week, Ft 1,500/€3.65 on match days. You’ll see the outlet ( pénztár ) as you emerge from the metro station, straight ahead on Üllői út.

Ticket prices  vary from the cheapest bought  online  for those already holding a Fan Card, to a week before the game, and then in the six-day run-up to kick-off, including match day itself.

If available, a place with the Fradi ultras in sectors B1-B3 is Ft2,350/€5.70 if bought online, Ft2,550/€6.20 in person in advance, Ft2,850/€6.90 closer to kick-off. At the opposite end, D3-D4, it’s Ft4,350/€10.60, Ft4,550/€11 and Ft4,850/€11.80. The best seats are over the halfway line in C4-C5, Ft6,550/€16, Ft6,750/€16.40 and Ft7,050/€17.15.

Availability drops significantly for major European games, when prices might rise. For all other fixtures, an average gate of around 10,000 easily guarantees you a seat on match days. For enquiries, contact [email protected].

what to buy

Shirts, kits, merchandise and gifts.

The  club shop  (Fradi Bolt; daily 10am-7pm) is at the opposite side of the stadium to the metro station, near the Flórián Albert statue. The current version of the green-and-white striped home top has a green collar with a slight V shape, and white sleeves with green cuffs. Away shirts are black with dark-green patches, the third choice a plain fawn colour. Note the three stars over the badge, one for every ten titles.

Also on offer are Fradi beach ping-pong sets, Fradi pasta (green-and-white, of course) and Fradi energy drinks. For a little pick-me-up during a lull in the game, pop a quick Fradi sportkocka , a cube of chocolate filled with peach brandy.

Museum & tours

Explore the club inside and out.

Inside the main entrance, to the left of the reception desk, the  Fradi Museum (Tue-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat-Sun 10am-4pm, match days vary) is tasteful and imaginative. Features include a row of lockers, each providing an individual audio history as you open the door. A time-line runs right through the neatly planned space.

Note the name over the door: Béla Nagy was the genial FTC historian, who dedicated his life to the club he loved, producing dozens of books on the subject. Many of the artefacts you’ll see are from his own private collection.

Admission is Ft2,800/€6.80 including a brief  stadium tour , allowing 50mins for the two combined. Hungarian-language tours run Tue-Fri 11am-4pm, Sat-Sun from 2pm (not match days). Contact  [email protected].

Where to Drink

Pre-match beers for fans and casual visitors.

By Népliget stop for the tram 1 on Könyves Kálmán körút, on the same corner as the bus station, you’ll find the Szöglet (‘Corner’) Presszó . Touches of Fradi iconography decorate this otherwise basic bar, set in its own muralled building with tables outside.

Below ground in the metro station, two outlets sit side by side. The Zöld Villám Ételbár has changed little since the 1990s, cheap hot food served to a backdrop of FTC scarves and line-up photos.  Alongside, the Ági Presszó tried to move with the times, with tasteful decor but then realised it was in a metro underpass in deepest Ferencváros and reverted to character. On the wall are black-and-white photos of the Ági as a drinking den for FTC regulars.

At the stadium by the Albert statue and club shop, the Gólvonal Bisztró (‘Goal-line Bistro’; Mon-Sat 10am-3pm, match days 3hrs before kick-off, 2hrs after final whistle) is neat and modern, offering decent Hungarian lunches, along with Pilsner Urquell and Dreher on tap. TV sport beams out in almost every line of vision (including three screens over the bar counter), beside artistic renditions of Fradi’s achievements in various sporting fields.

A little further along on the same side, behind the Springer statue, the Kávézó (Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, match days) not only sells coffee, cakes and sandwiches as its name suggests, but Dreher beer, wine in three colours and all kinds of spirits. With a chic industrial design inside and tables outside, this is actually a nicer option that its bistro counterpart a few doors back, and less likely to be so busy.

STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Hungary forward Barnabás Varga was in hospital in stable condition after a serious-looking injury at his team’s final group match at the European Championship on Sunday.

Varga will likely undergo surgery after fracturing several bones in his face. The 29-year-old also has concussion and will take no part in the rest of Euro 2024 should Hungary advance to the round of 16 as one of the four best third-place teams.

The Group A game against Scotland was halted for nearly 10 minutes so Varga could get treatment after colliding with opposing goalkeeper Angus Gunn midway through the second half.

Varga’s teammates held up blankets to shield the player as he was tended to by medical staff, while everyone looked on in concern.

Both sets of fans applauded when Varga was stretchered off.

“Several bones in Barnabás Varga’s face were broken during the collision during the match, and he also suffered a concussion,” the Hungarian soccer federation wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the match.

“The Ferencváros striker is most likely to undergo surgery. He spends the night in the hospital in Stuttgart. The whole team is rooting for him!”

Hungary snatched a 1-0 win , with a dramatic stoppage-time goal from substitute Kevin Csoboth.

“It was terrible. Was a terrible moment to see Barnabás like that,” Hungary midfielder Roland Sallai said.

“Of course, we were fighting for him in the remaining 15-20 minutes, and we would have liked to win for him and we were very happy we could achieve that. And yes, this we dedicate to him.”

As Varga was getting treatment, no one in the stadium and watching on television had any real idea of what was happening and the extent of his injury — just that he was being treated by medics, who had been frantically called onto the field by his teammates.

The scenes in Stuttgart had echoes of an even more serious incident at the last European Championship, when Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing in his team’s opener against Finland.

VTB Arena – Central Stadium

Club: FC Dynamo Moscow | Opening: 2018 | Capacity: 25,716 seats

History & description

The VTB Arena is the recently opened new stadium of FC Dynamo.

First plans for the stadium were published in the summer of 2010 and showed a new stadium to be built on the site of the old Dynamo Stadium that had closed in 2008. Part of the facade, that is listed as a monument, was to be preserved in the new stadium design, though most of the old stadium would be demolished.

The project was led by the VTB Bank, which is for 85% owned by the Russian government and itself owns 75% of FC Dynamo Moscow. The total project consisted of a football stadium, multi-use indoor arena, and several real-estate projects, all with a total value of $1.5 billion. 

Demolition of the stadium started late 2011 and was completed in 2012, after which construction of the new arena started. The new arena was initially scheduled to be completed in 2016, however it took until late 2018 for the stadium to open.

Whereas the stadium opened on 20 December 2018 with an opening ceremony, it took until the 26th of May of that year for the stadium to be fully completed and the first match to be played. The first match was a league match between Dynamo and Arsenal Tula (3-3).

How to get to the VTB Arena

The VTB Arena is located rather central at about 5 kilometres north-west of Moscow’s centre. The stadium lies on Leningradsky Avenue, one of Moscow main roads at just 2 kilometres north from Belorussky railway station. CSKA’s VEB Arena lies a bit further up the road.

The stadium is easily reached by metro . Stations Dinamo and Petrovsky Park lie right next to the stadium. Dinamo station is on the green Line 2 that runs right through Moscow’s centre. Petrovsky Park is on line 8A and 11, which don’t connect to any central areas but can be useful if connecting from other lines.

Dynamo Moscow Tickets

Dynamo Moscow tickets can be bought online , or, though limited, at the box office at the stadium.

Tickets typically go on sale in the week before the match.

Expect to pay from Rub. 900 for an upper tier seat behind the goal to Rub. 3,600 for the best seats at the main stand. Tickets for the other side range between Rub. 1,000 and Rub. 2,000. Prices for high-profile matches tend to be Rub. 300-1,000 higher.

Best MLB stadium tours: Go behind the scenes at these ballparks

“Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.”  – German philosopher Eckhart Tolle 

If you enjoy going on “package tours” of historic mansions, foreign cities or fascinating museums, why not take a tour at a Major League Baseball stadium? We won’t tell Tolle, but let’s consider such a guided tour our own little “adventure.” 

While it varies by venue, such tours typically lead you through the clubhouse, press box, workout facilities, batting cages under the stands, a dugout … and some will even allow you to walk onto the playing field. If the team has its own museum, those are likely to be included. The Atlanta Braves, for instance, include a curated look at their exceptional Monument Garden at Truist Park when you take one of their tours.  

When planning a tour of a Major League ballpark, keep several things in mind: 

Pro Tip No. 1: For the most behind-the-scenes experiences, go when the team doesn’t have a home game.  

Follow every MLB game: Latest MLB scores, stats, schedules and standings.

You will often see notices listing features you won’t be able to see when there is a game that day. So even though you are likely to pay the same whether such access is permitted or denied, you’ll get more for your money when the team is on the road, or has an off-day during a homestand. 

Pro Tip No. 2  Hurry to visit an older ballpark. You might not get another chance.   

Derrick Sloboda of Fort Wayne, Indiana considers himself quite fortunate that he took a tour at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park before it was demolished. The Giants had already moved closer to downtown at what is now called Oracle Park, and the 49ers were about to move south to Santa Clara, so Candlestick was in its final weeks.  

“The guide extended the tour by an hour because so many people were saying ‘good bye,’ (so) we had half hour on the field, which was great,” recalls Sloboda. 

Keep in mind that the main purpose of taking a guided tour is to create memories, and once that venue is gone, those memories will be even more special to you. 

Pro Tip No. 3: Try to overlook the high prices  

Typically the money you pay for the tour goes to a charity or “foundation” operated by the team, or one that’s meaningful to the ownership. The prices can be pretty high (VIP Tours at some parks top $500), but you’ll get to visit parts of the facility that fans rarely get to see.  

So rather than focusing on what it costs, think about the charity your purchase is supporting. And appreciate that you and your family are getting to experience the places where your favorite players do their work. 

It’s hard to put a price tag on that. 

Join us now for our ranking of the five MLB parks with the best tours (OK, I’m cheating by including six!), based partially on the experiences of visitors to my BaseballParks.com site. 

1. Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles  

While other teams might offer you one or two options of tours, the Dodgers provide 11 ! These range from the standard walking stadium tour ($30, and kids and seniors are $25), to the pregame tour of landmarks within the ballpark ($45), to the "Take the Field Tour" where you can play catch in the outfield ($175, only on non-game days – bring your glove!) all the way to the $500 VIP Tour that includes getting to greet the players as they take batting practice.  

Most of these experiences include a tour of the Vin Scully Press Box, which is Holy Ground to me, because it’s where I actually got to meet Vin about a dozen years ago!

While on a trip to visit relatives in California, Dutch citizen Chris Kabout thoroughly enjoyed his visit to Chavez Ravine. “The tour showed you the press boxes, old locker rooms, showcases with trophies, gold gloves, retired jerseys, the dugout and you were allowed to walk on the dirt,” he recalls. 

The Netherlands resident added that the tour’s guide kept things lively by asking the group trivia questions about the Dodgers. And considering the team dates back to 1883 as the Brooklyn Grays, there is a lot of trivia to discuss! 

2. Citi Field, New York  Mets

As befits Citi Field’s reputation as a fun place to attend a game, tours of the Mets’ home have a decidedly upbeat and enjoyable atmosphere, complete with a sit-down history lesson in the room where post-game press conferences are held.  

Like the Dodgers, the Mets offer multiple tour options – with varying prices. The public tour costs $25 ($20 for kids 12 and under) and will take you to the private suites, two of the season-ticket-holder restaurants, the press box and down on the field.  

On days with a home night game, the "Grand Slam Tour" is available for $70, and that’s over and above the cost of your game ticket. This also permits early entry into the park to watch batting practice. If you want to get closer to the players around the batting cage, there’s the $250 All-Star Tour. 

They also offer private tours, with the cost depends on how many are in your group. For instance, if you put together a group of ten, the cost is $62.50 per person.

3. Wrigley Field, Chicago  Cubs

When Wrigley was being designed 110 years ago, they didn’t make it easy to get from one spot under the stands to another. But that just makes the guided tours of the Friendly Confines all the more interesting.  

The charge of $30 is reasonable compared to other parks, and whether it’s a gameday or not, you’ll get to check out the famous bleachers and go down on the field. If the Cubbies aren’t home that day, you’ll also get to go in the visiting clubhouse plus one of the dugouts … and you’ll get up close and personal with the iconic ivy growing on the outfield wall. 

4. Yankee Stadium, New York  

If you go on a tour here, you won’t be visiting the exact spot where Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig played – or Bernie Williams for that matter – because this version of Yankee Stadium opened in 2009. But you will be able to visit the monuments to Babe and Lou in Monument Park in center field as part of the $35 Classic Tour. It also includes the New York Yankees museum. There’s even a version of the tour that includes lunch at the Hard Rock Café that’s built into the ballpark.  

One number you’ll see and hear often during any tour here: 27. That’s the number of World Series titles captured by the Bronx Bombers. They won’t let you forget it! 

5 (tie). Busch Stadium, St. Louis Cardinals & Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City Royals

While one is a fairly new facility (Busch Stadium, 2006) and one is kind of not-so-new (Kauffman Stadium, 1973), they have more in common than the state of Missouri. Both the Cards and Royals operate exceptional museums that are worthy of your time, and their tour guides are among the nicest and friendliest in the sport. 

The Royals have been operating tours for decades, and they have the process down pat. They offer three versions, and you can’t beat the prices: the Classic Tour costs $15; the All-Star tour is $25 (includes the team Hall of Fame); and the MVP Tour costs $35 (includes the broadcast facilities and the dugout suites). Don’t forget to visit KC’s excellent Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, just six miles west of Kauffman. 

Across the state in St. Louis, the Cards offer two tours. The 360 Tour is a quick walk around the park and the dugout, showing you the view from various vantage points. It costs $12. The Classic Tour is $22 and includes a visit to the broadcast booths and admission to the Cardinals museum across the street.  

Come to think of it, plan an adventure to Missouri so you can visit both Kauffman and Busch. The “package tours” sure are affordable, and you won’t get in trouble with a German philosopher!

Travis Kelce still can’t get over Taylor Swift’s “Karma” lyric change .

The NFL star had the best reaction to his girlfriend singing that “karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me” — as opposed to “the guy on the screen” — during the pop star’s second London Eras Tour show .

Kelce, 34, was caught on camera dancing and belting out the hit song on Saturday before putting his hand to his ear to catch the line, per a fan’s TikTok .

@belle_tayvisnation KARMA IS THE GUY ON THE CHIEFS 🥹 #swiftietiktok #traviskelce #swifties #taylorswift #tayvisnation #tayvis #tayvisedit ♬ original sound – BELLE⸆⸉ (TayvisNation) – BELLE⸆⸉ (TayvisNation)

When the tight end heard the reference, he high-fived a nearby Swiftie.

Social media users praised Swift’s “proud” partner for “embracing” her fans and “eat[ing] up” the shoutout.

“It was so nice of Tay Tay and Travvy to invite us all on their date at Wembley [Stadium]!!” one joked.

Others called the “Catching Kelce” alum a “good sport” who “gives such dad vibes in the best way.”

The three-time Super Bowl winner, who has been dating Swift since last summer, has attended all three of her London shows since her performances kicked off on Friday.

Travis brought his brother , Jason Kelce, to the first concert and sat with Swift’s parents, Andrea Swift and Scott Swift, during the third .

However, he left his seat for a headline-making surprise appearance on Sunday during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition.

Fans freaked as Travis took the stage in a suit and top hat, carrying Taylor to a couch after she pretended to faint.

He was all smiles as he assisted two backup dancers in fanning the Grammy winner.

Travis subsequently fanned himself as Taylor shed her long white dress to reveal a matching bralette and high-waisted bottoms.

He beckoned the songwriter to the center of the stage to perform her hit from “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Travis has been a regular at Taylor’s Eras Tour shows, previously watching her perform in Missouri, Buenos Aires, Singapore, Sydney and Paris.

When Taylor made the “Karma” lyric change during a November 2023 show in Argentina, Kelce’s shocked expression was caught on camera .

The lyrics previously referenced Taylor’s ex Joe Alwyn, whom she dated from 2016 to 2023 .

The actor, 33, broke his silence on their breakup in an interview with the Times last week, saying it had been “difficult” to navigate in the public eye.

Travis kelce carried taylor swift on stage as a massive surprise at eras tour london night 3, share this article.

Travis Kelce has officially made his Eras Tour debut.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and boyfriend of 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift has made several appearances at Eras Tour concerts — including London Nights 1 and 2 this weekend — since the two went public with their relationship last year. But nothing compared to what we saw on Sunday night at Wembley Stadium.

After Swift performed The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived , the theatrical costume change had a guest appearance. Kelce — decked out in costume — was on stage to carry Swift into that outfit change that preceded I Can Do It With A Broken Heart .

The fans at Wembley Stadium did not see that surprise appearance coming at all.

Travis Kelce Joins Taylor Swift's Parents at Her Third Eras Tour Show in London

On the first night, the evening was attended by Nicola Coughlan, Stella McCartney, Salma Hayek, and Jonathan Van Ness. The second night saw Barbie director Greta Gerwig and Tom Cruise. And night three included celebrities Bon Jovi, Ellie Goulding, Paul McCartney, Gracie Abrams, Sophie Turner, Cate Blanchett, Ruby Stokes, and Zawe Ashton.

The pop singer and her NFL player boyfriend had been separated for about a month prior to her time in London. Taylor has been touring internationally while the Kansas City Chiefs star had obligations in the states. To celebrate reuniting, Taylor played her song “So High School” the first night, which is rumored to be about Kelce. Lights flashed in red and gold, the Chiefs team colors.

On Saturday, Taylor shared what a big deal it has been to her to play at Wembley during her acoustic section.

“When I was preparing and practicing for the weeks before this, I was thinking about getting to play Wembley Stadium. That’s not remotely normal [and] it is so insane for you to [have] done that for me and for us on the Eras Tour and for my band and for my crew,” Swift told the enthusiastic audience. “[When] I was thinking about that, you think about just being grateful for all the people who wanted this for you — and that’s all of you here tonight. You clearly thought this was a good idea [and] you wanted this to happen. Blows me away. I’ll spend forever trying to thank you for that.”
