MLB Stadiums - How Many?

[Melanie]

I'm really missing going to a game right about now (although I get to go next month), so I've been thinking about the stadiums I've been to. Much like I want to visit all the Disney parks in the world, I also want to go to a game in as many MLB stadiums as possible. I still have so many to go!

I'm curious to know who's been where, and please include those no longer in existence as well. Let's see who's been to the most! Oh, and for good measure, what's your favorite and why?

So here's my list -


No longer with us:
Atlanta-Fulton Co. Stadium
Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Three Rivers Stadium

Current NL Parks:
Turner Field
Wrigley Field
Minute Maid Park

Current AL Parks:
New Comiskey (US Cellular Field)
Fenway Park
Camden Yards
Yankee Stadium
Kauffman Stadium
Angel Stadium
Tropicana Field
Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Safeco Field (didn't attend a game, just took a tour)

Hmmm, favorite is hard to say, but if I must choose, I really like the atmosphere at Camden Yards. Good times!

So let's have it!

[BronxTigger]

My list is short.

Kingdome (gone)
Coors Field
Yankee Stadium

I hope to add Shea Stadium to my list this year.

[LouRodriGIS]

Veterans Stadium (gone...but not forgotten)
Citizens Bank Park
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Yankee Stadium
Jack Murphy Stadium (gone)
Petco Park

favorite stadium... Yankee Stadium if you like history but Camden Yards is amazing. Petco Park is also amazing but any park you put in San Diego is going to be amazing.

[Red Randal]

Fun thread. Some of you folks have great lists. Here's mine...

Current
Yankee Stadium
Fenway Park
Rodgers Center (SkyDome)
Jacobs Field
The Metrodome
Citizen's Bank Ballpark
PNC Park

Former
Veteran's Stadium

This Season
Camden Yards (for sure)
Shea Stadium (possibly)

I'd love to get to Wrigley Field for the history and to PETCO Park, Minute Maid Park, and whatever they call Pac Bell Park these days.

My favorite is Yankee Stadium, just because of my love of the Yanks. Fenway Park is also an amazingly historic place that every baseball fan needs to see once. PNC Park is a great stadium in an intimate and beautiful setting. Definitely my favorite of the newer stadiums.

[alphamommy]

The Tigers no longer play in Tiger Stadium; they now play at Comerica Park. Tiger Stadium is still standing, although it probably will eventually be torn down.

[AwPhooey]

Here's my list:

Former Stadiums:
Olympic Stadium (Montreal Expos)
Municipal Stadium (Baltimore Orioles)
Veterans Stadium (Philadelphia Phillies)

Current Stadiums:
Fenway Park
Yankee Stadium
Shea Stadium
Toronto SkyDome (currently called Rogers Centre)
Camden Yards
Citizens Bank Park
SBC Park (current called AT&T Park)
McAfee Coliseum

This summer I'll be visiting Wrigley Field (tour only) and US Cellular Field.

Hmmm, favorite is hard to say, but if I must choose, I really like the atmosphere at Camden Yards. Good times!

Boy do I agree with that! Camden is so relaxed and just a great place to do nothing more than just hang out while waiting for the game. We usually get tickets just behind first base there, somewhere between rows 5-10. There is nothing better than a baseball park made for baseball only. And to have that feeling of almost sitting on the field, there is nothing better.

I've been to the Minute Maid Park back when it was still Enron Park but that was just blah to me. I love my baseball, but wish we could go more often.

Durham Bulls Athletic Park (aka The DBAP) - Durham (NC) Bulls (so much fun - We go about 1/week)
Durham Athletic Park (aka The DAP) - former home of the Durham (NC) Bulls & location of film Bull Durham
Five County Stadium - Carolina Mudcats
Brooks Field - Port City (Wilmington, NC)

[Melanie]

Brooks Field - Port City (Wilmington, NC)

Did you guys go see the Roosters? That was a little sad, and I'm not surprised the team moved.

Did you guys go see the Roosters? That was a little sad, and I'm not surprised the team moved.

We saw them play once, but I don't think they were there for very long were they? When we go down during the summer, we try to go to see the Wilmington Blue Rock play in Leigon Stadium now. They're in the Carolina League, a minor for Kansas City I think. They're ok, but nothing like the Bulls when it comes to the minors.

The Wilmington Blue Rocks are in Wilmington, Delaware, not NC. There isn't a team in Wilmington, NC right now.

The Roosters were only in town a couple of years.

I do like going to games at the DBAP, but I miss the DAP and when the Bulls were affiliated with the Braves.

[princessjojo]

I've seen someone play there not last summer, but summer before last. I don't know who then, but I did see someone.

[Marker]

I assume you mean MLB stadiums where I've actually SEEN a game, and not just stadiums I've seen.

I've only been to games in 2 MLB stadiums

- KC's Municiple Stadium ( KC Athletics & KC Royals) many times.
- Royal's Stadium / Kauffman Stadium (KC Royals) many, many, many times.

I've been to 1 minor league stadium, but saw a college game

- Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha NE (Omaha Royals)

[Dawneeeey]

I have seen games at:

Coors Field
Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Turner Field
Yankees Stadium
and the beloved Fenway Park, where I will be Wednesday night and at the end of July to see the Police in concert!!!!!!!!!

The one place I would love to go to is Camden Yards. I have always wanted to go see a game there.

Go Red Sox!!!!!!

[Grizz16]

Tours:

Spring Training:
Holman Stadium (Vero Beach, Fla.)
Roger Dean Stadium (Jupiter, Fla.)
Ft. Lauderdale Stadium (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.)

My absolute favorite is Fenway Park in Boston, despite my overall disdain for the Red Sox. The ballpark is oozing with history and tradition, and possesses a feeling Yankee Stadium cannot reproduce. People too often talk about the current incarnation of Yankee Stadium as an old stadium, the way they talk about Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. Renovating Yankee Stadium was no different than building a new stadium.

Of the newer parks, I especially love PNC Park in Pittsburgh and AT&T Park in San Francisco. Both offer incredible water views and are truly luxurious. Even a non-baseball fan would enjoy those two parks. The same could be said with many of the modern stadiums, all starting in Baltimore and Cleveland.
