I grew up in Montreal rooting for the Canadiens and the Expos. I have lived in Vancouver for the last 30 years. At my first Montreal Canadiens game as a child, I got poked in the eye by someone’s cigarette and ended up in the emergency ward. Fortunately, since then my sports experiences have been a lot more pleasant. In the late 90’s, as I got to take business trips with my job, I started on my goal to see all the NHL arenas. While doing some online research, I read the web page of Peter Farrell and Andrew Kulyk and later, Andrew Van Cleve’s. That inspired me to pursue seeing all NBA, MLB and NFL stadiums as well. I joined Club 123 in December of 2018, and have stayed current with any new arenas ever since. Along the way I made a lot of friends who share my hobby. As a true Canadian, my passion is for hockey and I have chased and completed all the pro hockey teams in North America and the junior hockey teams in the CHL. I am close to another goal of seeing all the affiliated minor league baseball teams. In 2024, I saw a game at my 500th unique stadium. The chase is what drives me. Planning trips, meeting up with fellow chasers and then walking into a new building not knowing what to expect, continues to thrill me.

“My first sports road trip was to Tiger Stadium in 1986 to see the Blue Jays and that started my love of sports travel. Living in Japan, where sports and driving are not as common, I developed a passion for extended sports road trips: in 2001, I spent 7 months on the road going to every MLB stadium and completed the NFL stadium journey in 2013, driving to all 32 home stadiums in a single season. I joined Club 122 in 2014 and then finished all 160 minor league ballparks in 2017. Since then, I have been taking short trips to add new venues to my list, which now totals above 1,100. My adventures are chronicled at www.sportsroadtrips.blogspot.com.”

Aside from brothers and sisters, my family are those whom I’ve met that share my passion for sports and sports travel.” Nicknamed “The King” for good reason, Casiano is closing in on 10,000 lifetime baseball games and 4,000 hockey games.

I have seen thousands of live games at hundreds of venues across North America and beyond, joining Club 124 in 2018.
