How many current Major League Ballparks have you visited?

RonBurgundy

I counted up my total last night:

Rangers Ballpark (The Temple)
Minute Maid Park (solid, comfortable place to watch a game)
AT&T Park (the best)
Safeco Field (shockingly close in my book to AT&T, loved it)
Dodger Stadium (favorite among the old stadiums, the retro 50's-60's vibe is like no other)
Angels Stadium (underrated)
Jacobs Field (it's the Jake to me no matter what idiotic name they put on it)
PNC Park (second best)
Camden Yards (very solid)
Wrigley Field (what can you say, just tons of fun)
Fenway Park (maybe the coolest stadium to catch a game)
Nationals Stadium (love the bar over centerfield)

Visited prior to closing: Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Busch Stadium, Arlington Stadium, RFK Stadium, Yankee Stadium.

12 down, 18 to go!

Hottest chicks: Arizona - I met my wife at a game there.

Honorable mention: Yankee's spring training stadium in Tampa which was very cool.

None of the new ones

Been to Shea, the Vet and old Yankee stadium.

Goot

Tropicana Field
Joe Robbie Stadium
Turner Field
Camden Yards
Citizens Bank Park
Dodger Stadium
Petco Park

Defunct Stadiums: old Yankee, Fulton County stadiumn, the Vet and RFK
Also almost every single Spring Training stadium in Florida.

My favorite was probably Petco Park. Least favorite is Sun Life although their new stadium will be pretty cool.

lanemyer85

Wrigley
US Comiscular Field
Comiskey
Tiger Stadium
Comerica
HHH dome - awful
Jacobs whatever it is now Field in C-Town
Riverdump
Great American Generic Ballpark
Old Busch compost pile
New Busch same difference
PNC Pitt - greatest and best of the new stadiums
Fenway
Old Yank
LA
SkyDome - the Cubs made their one trek to Tor and the Jays (with Halladay starting) wore those sweet all powder blue 80's Garth Iorg throwback unis. Plus the NXNE Canadian indie music fest was the same week. Good times.

really the only place that I haven't been that I truly care to go is PacBell/SBC/Yahoo Park in Frisco. Maybe Safeco.

• Old Tiger Stadium-my favorite
• New Comiskey
• The BOB

I passed on PAC Bell. It was way too cold.

I went on a Jay Buckley tour with my sons one summer. I highly recommend it. Seven ball parks plus the HOF.

Seen games at:
Yankee Stadium (old and new)
Fenway Park
Shea Stadium

alnavman

skydome, I forgot I went to one game there when my son was a baby.....the top was on but they removed it before the game started...nice park.

itzagoner

Dodger Stadium (home of my youth)
Los Angeles Angels of Disneyland Stadium
Petco - best food!
AT & T (Phone Booth Park is what I heard a local call it)
Chase Field in AZ.
Joe Robbie Pro Player Stadium or whatever they called when we saw SBXLI
Oakland Coliseum for A's games & an Ozzy Osbourne rock festival in the early 80's
Wrigley in '79 - Cubs lost 3-2 to the Giants, food sucked, people were awesome.
Comiskey in '79 - aftermath of Disco Demolition Night, saw Rush & Foghat, but no Pale Hoses
Kingdome in '79 - WTF is THAT??!?!?!?!?
Old Busch Stadium - never actually inside, but I slept in a high floor hotel room next door where I could view the entire stadium, it looked GREAT empty!
Candelstick Park
The Murph

Excellent thread idea.

Current (asterisk means the park had a different name when I was there, but they still play in the same building):
1. Target Field
2. Progressive Field*
3. Kauffman Stadium
4. Rogers Centre*
5. Angel Stadium
6. Safeco Field
7. The Ballpark in Arlington
8. Miller Park
9. Minute Maid Park*
10. Wrigley Field

Former
1. Tiger Stadium
2. Metrodome
3. Metropolitan Stadium
4. County Stadium

Best facility: Target Field, Progressive Field, PNC Park

Best overall ballgame experience: Wrigley

Best individual food item: PNC park- steak sandwich on french bread- w/cole slaw & skin-on fries inside the sandwich!!! It was so good that it occupies the top spot despite the fact that I don't particularly like cole slaw.

Worst facility/experience: Metrodome (good place to watch a football game, abysmal place to watch a baseball game).

Wishlist: AT&T, Yankee, Fenway, Citizens Bank

Anti-wishlist: Tropicana
