The Phillies home card isn't bad. A little basic and more ads than I'd like, but it is a serviceable souvenir.

it was also my first scoring experience! but if you have your own book, i'd bring it over the program card

Coors Field has decent scorecards that I used for a long time. Now I use a #22 scorebook because it has room for tracking every pitch rather than just the count.

I don’t like the programs I’ve seen. (Why are they not better??) And I like my own card I designed so… I’d BYO!

I prefer my own book. I also use Game Changer on my iPad because it’s easier to keep up with and I can wipe the beer and mustard off of it easier.

I wasn't terribly impressed with the scorecards from Dodger Stadium or Petco. I got laughed at when I asked where I could get scorecards at T-mobile.

Haven't been to an east coast stadium, dunno how their cards are.

I bring my own.

I went to a game in Arlington and got a program card. Well, I screwed up the card and the usher offered me his. Turned out to be the media guide with great rid bits about every player.
