Why is the Diamondbacks game inappropriate as a geocache? I've seen other event caches posted, and for most you don't need a GPS to find them. For example, there was one a few months ago (for women only, so I didn't attend) at a restaurant near my house. The actual name of the restaurant was listed in the hint.
You don't need a GPS to find many of the "locationless" geocaches that have been listed, although you may need to post GPS coordinates. However, you can find the lat/long coordinates for some of these locations from other sources, such as at a link to the epa.gov web site for locations of Superfund sites (that's the theme of a "locationless" geocache that I found recently - the 19th Ave. Landfill in southwest Phoenix).
Also, after work yesterday I found a new cache that didn't require a GPS. Upon reading a description, the building to visit was obvious to me.
