MLB Stadiums - How Many?

[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.

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.

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]

The stadiums I've been to:
Busch Stadium II St. Louis-gone, but not forgotten
Riverfront Stadium(later renamed Cinergy Field) Cincinnati-gone

Stadiums I want to go to:
Busch Stadium III St. Louis
Wrigley Field Chicago
Dodger Stadium LA
Safeco Field Seattle
Rogers Centre(I still call it SkyDome, which is a better name) Toronto

Shea Stadium (New York)
Fenway Park (Boston)
Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Baltimore)

McAfee Coliseum (Oakland)
Safeco Field (Seattle)
Angel Stadium of Anaheim (Los Angeles)
Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia)
Wrigley Field (Chicago)
Miller Park (Milwaukee)
PNC Park (Pittsburgh)
Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles)
AT&T Park (San Francisco)

Coors Field (Denver) (In August)

Tours:
Chase Field (Arizona)

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.

[Disney Yankee]

I have two boys who love baseball - so we are trying to build our list!

Here's where we've been so far:

1. Yankee Stadium (our home base!)
2. Shea Stadium
3. Camden Yards
4. Citizen's Bank

Tours:

1. Yankee Stadium
2. Camden Yards


GO YANKEES - You can do it!!!!!!

[g.r.]

Those I have been in:

NO LONGER WITH US:
Crosley Field (yes, I'm older than dirt!)
Riverfront Stadium
Cleveland Municipal Stadium
Arlington Stadium
Atlanta Fulton Co. Stadium
Comiskey Park

STILL WITH US, NOT BEING USED:
Tiger Stadium
Astrodome

EXISTING BALLPARKS
U.S. Cellular Field
Skydome

My all time favorite was old Comiskey Park. Everything about it was cool: the exploding scoreboard, the double-decked outfield seats, players going across the concourse from the clubhouse to the batting cages, the outfield patio that was ground level at the warning track, etc... The only bad thing about the ballpark was the neighborhood. Or so I thought until I went to the old Chicago Stadium for a Blackhawks game. THAT WAS BAD. We still get up for a Sox game every year but the Cell is no where close to being what old Comiskey was.

Gone: Busch Stadium II
Comiskey Park
Riverfront Stadium
Milwaukee County Stadium

Existing: Busch Stadium III
New Comiskey/The Cell
Wrigley Field
HHH MetroDome

[RedSoxFan]

MLB Parks:

Fenway Park (Red Sox)
Safeco Field (Mariners)
Camden Yards (Orioles)
Angels Stadium (Angles)
AT&T Park (Giants)
RFK Stadium (Nationals)

Minor League:

McCoy Stadium (Paw Sox)

and in July to see the Red Sox:
Jacobs Field (Indians)

Fenway Park is my favorite. It's the home of my beloved Red Sox.

Safeco Field and Camden Yards are both beautiful ball parks. I really enjoyed watching the Red Sox play there as well. I saw the Red Sox play the Angels back in the 70's -- really don't remember that park too much other than it's across the street from Disneyland. I look forward to being at a different ball park this summer to see the Sox play. I hope to see them play in Toronto and Detroit in the next couple of years as well.

I'll even take this one step further...

College baseball stadiums
CU Sports Complex (Creighton Bluejays)
Goodwin Field (Cal St. Fullerton Titans)

I just updated my post to move Citizens Bank Park from "future" to "past". Very beautiful park. Although I kinda wish they had built it in a less industrial area. It doesn't bother me that the Linc is there but, for some reason, a Baseball park is cooler when it's downtown.

Now I know why so many HR's are hit there. Those power ally's are short.

[Hammer]

Scar, The original plan was to build it in Philly's Chinatown district, but the area residents got the idea thrown out.

The power alleys are actually the same dimensions as the Vet, but the difference is this is an open stadium, not a bowl. They should have taken into account the change in aerodynamics and put the left and right field walls at least 15 feet farther back (I think center is fine).
