4. Heard good things about Dodger Stadium
I want to make it to Dodger Stadium someday. From what I've heard, Dodger, along with Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, is the best of the post WWII/pre-Camden Yards generation.

Closer to home, I'm going to try and catch games at Fraser Field in Lynn, MA (North Shore Spirit), Fitton Field in Worcester (Worcester Tornadoes), Hadlock Field (Portland Sea Dogs) and McCoy Stadium (Pawtucket Red Sox).

10. Mile High counts
The Rockies played at Mile High for a year while Coors was being built.

I've been in the Coors Field souveneir shop, and saw part of the field while the team was away. That's as far as I got in Denver!

16. hmm,
Edited on Sat Jun-23-07 02:39 PM by petersond
I've been in the Kingdome, Wrigley Field, and Comisky Park...

But, I've also seen/touched Pac Bell Park, and Soldier Field(was never inside).

As for college...Allen Field House(KU Basketball), and I've been in KU's football field to see OSU(Oklahoma State) kick the hell out of them, but I can't recall KU's football stadiums name.

ETA:The KC Royals stadium also...was there last July, I can't recall the name(I got alzheimers today)...

18. Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh
and I was right outside of Jacob's Field in Cleveland. I was 15 at the time and we weren't there for the ballgame, so I didn't get to go inside.

21. Wrigley, the old Met in Bloomigton MN and County stadium in
Milwaukee and the old Busch stadium in St. Louis. Since steroids I have pretty much lost interest in baseball. It is so tarnished by big money any more I just don't care much for it. Or for that matter sports in general.
This from a guy who used to memorize baseball stats as a hobby.
