    I want to know what Stadiums and Arenas you have been to, which ones are the best and worst and something that you wouldnt know about a stadium if you hadnt been there and throw in the stadium you havent been too but want to go to....</p>

    </p>

    Ive been to:</p>

    Pro Player Stadium(Miami):Dolphins games and Cubs at Marlins</p>

    Tampa Stadaium(the ole Sambraro):Dolphins at Bucs</p>

    Orlando Arena:Magic Games, Orlando Predator Games, Orlando Solor Bear Games</p>

    Tinker Field(Orlando): Daytona Cubs vs Orlando Twins</p>

    Robinson Stadium(Daytona): Daytona Cubs games</p>

    Greenville Memorial(Greenville SC): Greenville Braves Games</p>

    The Omni(Atlanta): Sonics at Hawks(one of the barry brothers had a fast break and completely flubbed his dunk on the rim)</p>

    Bi Lo Center(Greenville SC): Greenville Grrowl Games</p>

    Citrus Bowl(Orlando): Redskins at Dolphins</p>

    Bank of America Stadium(Charlotte): Rams at Panthers</p>

    </p>

    The nicest stadium was Bank of America in Charlotte....Its also one of the newest though....</p>

    </p>

    The worst was Tampa Stadium....thats a city that needed that new ball park</p>

    </p>

    As far as something you dont know: If you go to a 1pm afternoon Dolphins game, regardless of what time of year it is, hydrate before you go, and bring a soft washcloth you can wet and drape over your head, because when the afternoon sun gets up in that stadium, you will feel no wind, you will bake for 3 hours, and you will think you are having a heat stroke....alcohol will enhance this effect</p>

    Ive never made it Wrigley, but I will at some point</p>

    NBA: Continental Airlines Arena-Nets/Devils games. To outsiders people will hate this arena, I love it., STAPLES Center-Los Angeles-Awesome place, lots of amenities. Wachovia Center-Philadelphia-Very nice, great staff, great food. Madison Square Garden-Not the most modern place, but it's still very sepcial. I hope to visit the Verizon Center in Washington soon as well.</p>

    NFL-Giants Stadium-Great concert site, but not the most modern place in the world.</p>

    MLB-Yankee Stadium-Special place, true ballpark experience. Shea Stadium-I know people would like to see the place get torn down, but I liked it. Citizens Bank Ballpark-Everything you would want in a new ballpark and more.</p>

    Dang it, I forgot the GA Dome....I took in Bucs at Atlanta there the year before Vick was drafted....the Bucs D knocked Chandler out and we waited 5 minutes for them to resume play because Chandler walked to the tunnel right down the middle of the field at a snails pace....I think he thought he was in a parade

    Baseball:</p>

    - Fenway Park</p>

    - Camden Yards</p>

    - Handler Park (at St. Bonaventure)</p>

    American Football:</p>

    - Foxboro Stadium (the old one)</p>

    Soccer:</p>

    - Gillette Stadium (Revolution, and Barcelona/Juventus friendly - debut of Ronaldinho)</p>

    - Renschelar Stadium (UConn's field, probably misspelled, for US-Latvia friendly)</p>

    - McGraw Jennings Park (at St. Bonaventure)</p>

    - Nou Camp (FC Barcelona's home stadium)</p>

    Basketball:</p>

    - The New Garden</p>

    - Reilly Center Arena (at St. Bonaventure)</p>

    - Ryan Center (at URI)</p>

    - The Old BU Arena (back in the Tunji Awajobi days)</p>

    Best is easily Nou Camp because you can't beat 90,000+ people singing and chanting for 90 minutes. You don't have to appreciate soccer to appreciate that experience. Fenway Park is a close second, just because its Fenway.</p>

    Worst is the old Foxboro Stadium. It is awful. And that's saying something because Handler Park doesn't have seating. The grassy patches are better than the aluminum benches.</p>

    In the future I'd like to see the other great European football stadiums, as well as Madison Square Garden, Wrigley Field, and some of the massive college football stadiums.</p>

    <font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="3" color="#ffff00" style="background-color: #ff0000">I have only gotten to go to one NFL stadium so far. The week after 911, I went to Washington (Fed-Ex Field) and watched my Chiefs put a drumming on the Skins. I was decked out in full Chiefs gear. I took some ribbing until the chiefs were up by 30 points and my group were practically the only ones left in our section. I did feel bad for Schottenheimer though. I'm a fan of Martyball (I can admit it). I was a bit nervous being in a crowded stadium in the capitol right after the towers came down, but I wasn't going to miss a chance to see the Chiefs live. I will make it to Arrowhead one of these days. My wife's best friend and her family just moved 30 minutes out of Kansas City.</font></p>

    <font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="3" color="#ffff00" style="background-color: #ff0000"></font></p>

    <font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="3" color="#ffff00" style="background-color: #ff0000">DolfanDale & I went to see Joe Montana inducted into the HOF.</font></p>

    <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3" color="#ffff00" style="background-color: #ff0000"></font></p>

    <font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3" color="#ffff00" style="background-color: #ff0000">I have been to Yankee Stadium when I visited NY, but not to a game. I have also been to Rupp Arena, but just for a KISS concert. I need to get to a UK basketball game one of these days.</font></p>
