Baseball Stadiums

David Watts · 10-28-2013, 08:33 AM

How many baseball stadiums have you been to during your lifetime? I've been to 11.

1. Tiger Stadium--by far the stadium I have seen the most games in
2. Comerica
3. Municipal- Cleveland--my first whiff of Marijuana and a fight in the row in front of us. Not a great memory
4. Riverfront-Cincinnati--Got to see Steve Carlton pitch, enough said.
5. Exhibition-Toronto
6. Astrodome
7. Minute Maid
8. Arlington Stadium or whatever the original Rangers stadium was called. I loved this place. The entire outfield seating area was general admission. Inexpensive to go to a game and if you didn't like the people sitting around you, it was easy to find somewhere else to sit.
9. Ballpark in Arlington
10. Wrigley
11. Comiskey--the old one

My nephew got married in San Diego this past June. I'm still pissed that I didn't get a chance to go to a game a Petco. We arrived Friday afternoon and thinking there was going to be some kind of rehearsal for the wedding we missed out on attending a Diamondbacks/Padres game.

Andy · 10-28-2013, 01:07 PM

I've attended games at Riverfront/Cinergy, Great American Ballpark and Fifth Third Field (Dayton Dragons). When I went to California last March we walked around San Diego and was able to actually walk inside Petco so that was pretty cool even though there was nothing going on.

22 major league, 1 minor league (unless I missed something).

I've posted about it before, but when I was 12, my dad and I drove around the country and saw 21 games in 18 different stadiums in 28 days (plus the baseball, basketball, football, and hockey halls of fame).

My favorite was Wrigley, followed pretty closely by Fenway.

Tropicana Field
Comerica Park
