4. Brewers, Fenway, Shea, Yankee, Toronto
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 08:55 PM by Rabrrrrrr
I have no fucking idea what the brewer one is called - I think it's MIller, but i was there fuckin' years before they built the new tax-payer-funded make-the-owners-rich shithole.

(though at Toronto, I saw Pink Floyd, not a baseball game)

RFK Stadium (Washington Senators era, three times, between 1969 and 1971).

20. Unfortunately Enron still lives...
Enron still owns PGE and the former Multnomah Civic Stadium has been called PGE Park for several years now...although we just have a Triple A team, the Beavers...

17. Candlestick, Pac Bell, Kingdome and Dodger
Was lucky enough to see the last game v. the Dodgers at the 'Stick. I'm not even a baseball fan, so I took the space from some poor true Giants booster.

Pac Bell's awesome;

Kingdome sucked;

I dug Dodger stadium. Very Jet Age.

46. My list
Riverfront Stadium - Cincinnati (Saw game #2 of the 1990 NLCS)
Yankee Stadium - (saw an ALCS game against Cleveland. Ticket was free provided that I would drive)
Veterans Stadium (Old Phillies/Eagles Park)
Citizen Bank Field - (New Phillies Stadium)
Municipal Stadium - (Old Indians Ballpark)
Three River Stadium - (Old Pirates Park)

I have to confess that since all those strikes with MLB, I haven't had the same thrill of going to the ballpark like I use to have!!
