stadiums

[two-six]

i'm sitting here watching the giants/rockies at beautiful pac-bell park, and it gets me thinking. what are you favorite stadiums? the one you'd like to see torn down? here are mine

Likes.... 1 Kauffman Stadium.....Kansas City
2 PNC Park.....Pittsburgh
3 Pac-Bell Park.....San Francisco

Tear it down.....pretty much any of the domes, but I'll go with Tropicana field in Tampa, just because the other domes at least have some historic moments

I like Camden, Wrigley :D, BOB...brings back good memories, Fenway...

Hate Veteran's, and basically any stadium that has/had artificial turf.

I have been to the following stadiums

Wrigley - Great but I have always caught it before the ivy turned green
Comisky (old) - Dump
Comisky new - Nice but scoreboard reminded me of a pinball machine
Turner Field - Piss poor lighting couldn't read the players jerseys from outfield
Fulton County - Launching Pad
Veterens - Crap cookie cutter
Memorial (Baltimore) One of my all time favorites
Camden Yards - Prototype classic new stadium
Fenway - a dump with history
Shea - Nice older field with airplanes that ply over continously
Yankee Stadium - Great ball park in crap neighborhood
Oakland Alemeda - Nice park
King Dome - Why would anyone go to a dome when you only have 2 months of sunshine?
Dodger Stadium - Has to be to be of my top 2 stadiums
Jack Murphy (Padres) great park that lets service men in for free or cheap
Texas Rangers - See new Comisky
Cincinnati - (old) See Veterens
Pittsburgh - Three Rivers, see Veterens
Metrodome (Minnesota) loudest one I have been to
Sky Dome- Ballpark inside a mall
Cleveland (old one) Dump going this year to the Jake

Pretty much says it all.

Stadiums I like (*-denotes ones that I've been to personally):

SKYDOME*: Had 2nd row seats behind home plate the night Cito Gaston got fired as manager . . . . I thought it would be harder to get seats that close to the action!!!!!


YANKEE STADIUM*: Saw the ugly side of the Yankees in 2000 when they lost 11-0 to Cleveland . . Didn't get to check out Monument Park because I got to the gate right as it was closing :( :( . . .


PAC BELL PARK: Would love to check out a game there some day :) . . .


FENWAY PARK: This loveable dump needs to be replaced . . WOuld like to see a game there from the new seats atop the Green Monster . .

Stadiums I hate-

VETERAN STADIUM: Thank goodness this dump is going to be torn down this year!!!! Barely a football stadium and never was a great ballpark (simply too big with over 60,000 seats)

OLYMPIC STADIUM*: It was cool being in a former Olympic Venue (1976 Olympics) and it was fun banging the hard plastic seats during a Expos rally, but ever since they put the permanent roof on the 'big owe' (the removable tent that was installed on there in 1987 torn too much) its a dreary place to watch baseball (ala the late Kingdome)

1. Fenway
2. Wrigley
3. Pac Bell

Fuck Yankee Stadium!

Fenway may not be the newest greatest thing out there. But I've caught a game there, and its a feeling like no other. Goosebumps I tell ya. If only those seats could tell their stories.

I too, would like to catch a game from the monster seats. I didn't care for the idea at first, but its catching on, and seems that it would be an experience like no other at a baseball game.

Ditto on the Fenway. Caught a game there and the old Fulton County. Enjoyed them both. Fenway moreso.

Hate the way the Metrodome looks. Tad better now that there are actually some people in the seats.

[Big Mark]

Olympic Stadium in Montreal is a dump. Went in 7th grade on a field trip and thought it would collapse on us. Swimming pool under the big arm is kinda cool through. the bottom is false so the depth can be changed.

Candlestick - I sat in the rain, got drunk, and watched a bunch of Padres fans heckle the shit out of Bonds

Thats why it was one of my 2 favs alot like old Memorial. Having an open view behind the outfield is sweet
