Other Ballparks you guys have been to

Aside from the Rogers Centre I have been to Safeco Field twice and feel it is an amazing place to catch a game, the Rogers Centre doesn't even compare.

In April I am planning a trip out to Vegas, LA, San Diego and San Francisco. I am choosing April for the sole reason that I can go to both baseball and hockey games. I'm very interested in seeing the Dodgers, Padres and Giants while I am out there. I had even given some thought to taking an entire summer off and going to every park in one year.

What stadiums have you guys been to and what are your favourites?

Pitt-Cleve

Was outside Busch Stadium in STL for opening day about 4 years ago, but sold out and there wasn't a ticket for sale.

I went to old Tiger Stadium back in 1992 to see the Jays/Tigers. Tony Phillips hit a leadoff HR in the bottom of the 1st, and I caught it

I've also been to Jacobs Field, awesome ballpark!

Candlestick, AT&T and whatever they're calling Oakland's these days are the only major league parks I've been to (as for minor leagues, Raley Field in Sacramento is nice, beats Oakland at least). Pac Bell/SBC/AT&T Park is great except for the revolving name. Great views (the upper deck is almost better to sit in than the lower deck) and lots of history about, with statues (Mays, Marichal, McCovey) and plaques with the rosters of each season since '57.

Welcome back to fanhome Paul.

Are the Giants still in Candlestick or did they build a new stadium?

Giants play in SBC/AT&T or whatever they call it now.

I still call it Pac Bell though

Coors Field - local ballpark, beautiful traditional, fan friendly (Mile High - a football field just not the same)

Old Oakland Alameda - bad memories, construction

Old Anaheim - was nice, don't really remember much, got their in the 4th inning, but game went 13

Kansas City - was like 12 and it was my first MLB game, so it was amazing, plus back in the Billy Martin hey day, seeing the Mad Hungarian and Reggie Jackson in a standoff

Wow some of you guys have been to some great stadiums.

One of these summers I just want to go on a stadium tour. I definitely want to take in a game at every stadium at some point in my life.

Skydome, Exhibition stadium, old Tiger Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Camden Yards, Three Rivers, PNC Park, Fenway and lots of minor league parks in the North East.

Have also seen but not attended a game in Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco.

Does anybody know anyone who has actually been to every stadium.

And please don't say Jerry Howarth or another media member
