About

In the Stands was established in 2019 by the husband and wife team of Nate and Melissa Trost. The inspiration came when we decided to add visiting all 30 MLB ballparks to our bucket list. We don’t have a specific timeframe; instead, our goal is to see all of them throughout our lifetime. We started inthestands.co as a way to share our research and recommendations online to help others. Our aim with that is to make gameday planning easier by providing ideas on where to stay, what to eat and drink, and other activities in the surrounding areas.

After a few years working on that site, we decided it was time to make some merch. In the Stands offers clothing for fans who truly enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel. Plus, don't be that person wearing a Dodgers jersey to a Padres vs. Giants game.
