    Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
    Oriole Park at Camden Yards
    Wrigley Field
    New Comiskey Park

    Some of these are still around, but using new names, I listed the name in use when I went there. Like Jacoby_Ellsbury, I've also been to minor league games in Portland and Eugene Oregon if you want to count those as well.

    Just the Metrodome for me.

    So glad the Twins are building a new ballpark.

    Some nostalgia (for me).

    The first NBA game I saw was the Knicks at the Baltimore Bullets. The Knicks had Clyde Frazier, and the Bullets had Earl the Pearl Monroe. That was before Monroe was traded to the Knicks.

    I saw the Washington Senators play a game at RFK (before they moved to Texas). My cousin took me, as I was just a kid. The stadium was nearly empty. We were in the grandstand and the closest people to us were about 50 rows in front of us. A pop foul came our way and my cousin jumps up, "I got it, I got it." It went through his hands, hit the seat, and ricchocheted up to those people in front of us. Lame!

    When I was growing up in Chicago, I went to at least 40 Cubs games a year at Wrigley. Bleacher seats cost $1, and grandstand cost $2.50. All the grandstand seats have a post obscuring some part of the field. They had reserved grand stand for like $5 that had no obstructed seats. I sat in the right field bleachers all the time, and caught several homers by guys like Rick Monday and Billy Williams.

    I am so jealous. I've been to 10 Yankee games at most, in my life, all in upperdeck crap seats.

    I also went to the last NFL/College All-Star game at Soldier Field. If I remember right, it was played in a massive lightning/rain storm. The two star players for the college all-stars were Walter Payton and a QB named Manning. Archie Manning.

    Pac Bell Park (now AT&T park, but changes its name a lot) is nice, eh? That place is so new, and has really great food options.

    It has a name. It's called "Mt. Davis".

    :)

    I have watched Raider games from way up there before. On Sundays, you will sometimes see some of darndest things that a fan can witness while at a sporting event. Let your imagination go wild. My fondest memories are of fine looking, hourglass females, standing at the railing, and flashing their healthy boobs toward all the men in that section. Sometimes, it can really cheer me up when my team is getting rocked out on the field.

    How the hell do they change the A's stadium into a football stadium for the Raiders? I never understood it.

    I think it's the only football team that has a dirt baseball infield for the first month of the season.

    Do the Bengals and Steelers have dedicated football stadiums these days? Probably a few other teams, too (Atlanta?)
