Ball park thread

[remphish1]

I am not a big fan of baseball but I love cathcing games in other cities. I love checking out the local concessions and seeing the local teams traditions and cheers. I am visiting another park over labor day that I have never been too. What parks have you seen a game at?

1. Shea Stadium/Citi Field

2. Yankee Stadium/s

3. Philidalphia Philies Vetran Stadium

[bleedorange]

It looks like everyone on this board needs to get down to Texas

[ih8music]

I used to travel a lot for work and would always try to hit a game (any sport) when I was away -- but rarely managed to actually do it.

 

Candlestick Park

AT&T Park

Oakland Coliseum

Angel's Stadium

Tiger Stadium

Comerica Park

Shea Stadium

Wrigley Field

(New) Comiskey Park

Fulton County Stadium

Coors Field

Camden Yards

 

I guess my list is ok, but probably half of what it should be. And nothing like one of my friends' list -- he's been to every MLB field (just finished it this summer) and all but 2 or 3 NFL stadiums (which I think he's going to get to this year). Very jealous of the guy -- single, of course.

[The Inside of Outside]

Fulton County Stadium

Riverfront Stadium

Fenway Park

Yankee Stadium (old)

Shea Stadium

County Stadium (Milwaukee)

Camden Yards

Veterans Stadium

Arlington Stadium

 

Of the 9 I have been to, only 2 still exist (Fenway and Camden Yards). I was looking recently at the ages of MLB ballparks. Fenway and Wrigley are obviously the oldest. The third oldest? Dodger Stadium, 1962.

Kaufman Stadium, which I still consider a newer park, is the sixth oldest. Gotta change my thinking.

[dark]

Sad to say only 3

• Tiger Stadium
  
• Comerica (New home of Tigers)
  
• Riverfront in Cincinati (old home of Reds)
  

But I have a cool job as Stadium Opertions Manager for the Great Lakes Loons in Midland MI

[uncool2pillow]

I've been to four

 

1. Wrigley

2. Kaufman - A big pleasant surprise, and this was before the recent improvements.

3. Metrodome - ugh...

4. Met Stadium (Twins stadium before dome). I was 5, I don't really remember it. I seem to remember relief pitchers coming from the bullpen in a convertible.

 

As I type this Roger Clemens is on Baseball Tonight pitching for the independent league. WTF??

Clemens is now a Skeeter, a Sugar Land Skeeter that is!

[uncool2pillow]

Sorry to go off topic, but I was so shocked at that story. Take the Clemens discussion over tonte real baseball thread.

[lamradio]

Fenway - Everyone must go there once

Dodgers Stadium - Dodger Dog and a beer.. Doesn't get much better.. But lock your car doors..

Tigers Stadium - Too young to really remember

Wrigley Field - Getting to see Harry Caray sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was all that really mattered.

Turner Field - Nothing special but I was once a huge Braves fan.

Royals Stadium (Kauffman) - I'm from KC so I went there a lot as a child. Gotta love the fountain and waterfall display.

 

I know there a couple more that I went to when I was very young but I can't recall them.

[calvino]

Just the three Chicago ones - Wrigley - Old and New Comiskey Park.

 

Been to a bunch of Minor League parks for concerts - not sure if that counts, though.

[KevinG]

...

2. Kaufman - A big pleasant surprise, and this was before the recent improvements.

...

 

Out of all the parks I have been to, Kaufman was the best (post improvements). In terms of price, views, stadium amenities, food. It was all around the complete package. It really is a gorgeous place to watch a game. It is unfortunate that the baseball is not very good there.

Well they played great against the White Sox this past weekend (or one can say the Sox stunk up the joint). I always enjoy watching the games at Kaufman on TV - which different thread in itself, I guess.

 

 

The only parks I have been to are the three (past and present) Chicago ones.

one of my favorite baseball memories was a day in chicago - afternoon at wrigley, then night at comiskey. another favorite was sitting in the bleachers at wrigley for a day game and aramis ramirez hit a walk-off homer to beat the brewers. such a great atmosphere!
