Sunday Question
I was trying to think of something fun and baseball season related to ask this week rather than going with something based on cards. While I was trying to think of a question, I started to think about the National which made me think about visiting new stadiums.
So the question of the week is…….
How many baseball stadiums have you visited?
I have been to 8 total: Yankee Stadium (old and new), Shea Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park, Joe Robbie Stadium (way back when), Citizens Bank Park, Camden Yards, Dodger Stadium. I’ve also seen some minor league parks but let’s stick with the big leagues.
I am very excited to see Wrigley Field this summer along with U.S. Cellular and hopefully Miller Park (Cards v. Brewers!). Anyone planning on going to see a new stadium this summer?

Chase Field (I still call it Bank One Ballpark) – Arizona
PETCO Park – San Diego
Coor's Field – Colorado (the nicest park out of the ones I have visited)
Safeco Field – Seattle
Hmm, great question! Let's see: Three Rivers (Old Pirates place), Turner Field (Braves), New Yankee Stadium, US Cellular (White Sox), Wrigley (Cubbies), Busch (Cardinals), Arlington (Rangers), Petco (Padres). Does visiting the wall where Forbes Field used to be count? 😉
Exhibition Stadium
Skydome/Rogers Centre
Tiger Stadium
Comerica Park
Busch Stadium
Wrigley Field
U.S. Cellular
Safeco Field
PETCO Park
Kauffmann Stadium (when it was turf)
Olympic Stadium
I think that's all.
Great question. My next destination(s) will hopefully be New Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.
Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, and Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. This year I plan on getting to Petco, AT&T Park and maybe Chase Field.
I have been to:
Old Yankee Stadium
New Yankee Stadium
Shea Dump
Camden Yards
Enron Field (whatever it is called now)
Jacobs Field
I'll probably go to Citi at some point this year…just because I live in NY and haven't been yet.
Shea
Old Yankee Stadium
Camden Yards
Memorial Stadium – O's
Fenway

RFK – Nats
Nationals Park
Turner Field
Fulton County – Braves
All east coast.
I just remembered I forgot CBP. Good call.
Fulton County Stadium
Turner Field
Camden Yards (during the Baltimore Marathon, not for a game)
I hope to catch a Nationals & maybe an O's game this summer!
The dome in Toronto and Great American Ballpark in Cinci are the only two that I've seen a game in.
I did a tour of new Yankee stadium.
I'm gonna try to go to Detroit this year since I'll be in the area.

So I'm missing SEA, FLA, PHI, WAS, BAL, ARI, CIN, TEX, HOU. And three teams are playing in new stadiums I haven't been to yet. While I have never seen a game in Cincinnati, I do have a doormat-sized piece of turf used in Riverfront Stadium.
And as for minor leagues, at least 42 parks, with six more in a couple weeks!
And, last, as David referenced, I've visited the locations of many former stadiums and other baseball landmarks.
Ahh, road trips.

I've also been to a handful of minor league stadiums (Columbus, Chatanooga, Nashville, Indy, Florence KY, maybe Louisville, maybe a couple others that I have forgotten).
In addition, my dad took me to Cooperstown the same year we went to NY and Boston, and I plan to take my boys there in 2016 when Griffey is inducted.
Great question! I'm going to have to think through this one (and only count ones I've been to for a game):

Top of my current stadium "want list": San Fran, Coors Field, Pittsburgh, Petco, Target Field.
I've been to six major league parks: Citi Field, Shea Stadium, old & new Yankee Stadium, Veterans Stadium & Citizens Bank Park.
I'd like to make it to Baltimore to see Camden Yards this summer, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I want to go to Petco for a few reasons, obviously to see a game and a stadium but there is a gym in the outfield with an outdoor spin class…. How awesome would it be to get a workout in while watching a live game?
I also want to see AT&T, Target, and Coors.
I had planned a few years back to see a Nats game but it never happened. I heard I'm not missing much though.

I was out of town and missed this great question:

Busch Stadium in St. Louis
Olympic Stadium in Montreal

I driven past a few more — Wrigley Field, Progressive Field — but wasn't lucky enough to see a ball game there.
And Fenway is about the opposite of overrated as you can get.
I haven't been to many.
The Dome and Target Field
Camden Yards
Dolphin Stadium
Hope to get to Turner Field and Tropicana this year.
I'm looking forward to the new Marlins stadium next year.
I've been to two different stadiums. The old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium and the new Turner Field. I'd love to visit more, but I don't get to travel that often.
