Shea (many, many Mets games)
Yankee (bunch of Yankee games)
Dodger (a few games)
Fenway Park (but not to see a game)
Citizens Bank Park (Phillies vs. Yankees)
Camden Yards (this might be the coolest of all the ballparks I've been to)
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
I take it you saw Angel Stadium before the renovations? The waterfall adds a little bit of character.
Doesn't Dodger Stadium have some sort of all you can eat deal at certain games?
yeah, but it's still cheesey and kind of lame compared to all of the other ballparks i've been to. my favorite part of that park is the Big A, and that's not even in the park itself.
but yes, it is an upgrade over that dump it used to be. even with the rats in the concession stands.
when you buy a ticket for the right field bleachers you can pound down as much food and drink as you want, aside from beer. $25-$40 depending on the game.
Candlestick (When The Giants Still Played There)
Oakland Coliseum (I refuse to call any stadium by their whored out name)
Shea Stadium (From an outsiders point of view have to say they have more passionate fans than the Bronx Bombers)
Yankee Stadium (Better food than Shea)

fenway is the most charming.
at&t park is the most attractive. pnc park too.
comerica park is a lot of fun.
great american ballpark and angel stadium are the most generic.
but my favorite is dodger stadium, just because it's my home park. and i enjoy sitting in the top deck drinking an overpriced beer and eating a dodger dog on a cool spring night while watching the dodgers march towards another year of mediocrity.
thats a great list you have there. good representation of east coast and west coast teams. i was out to la la land but never made it to dodger stadium. (too many other cool things to do)

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
he grew a beard.
I eventually want to start seeing games at more ballparks. Maybe 3-4 per year. So far I've been to
Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Veterans Stadium (Philly) Busch (The old one, that closed in 2005) and Skydome.
Highest on my wishlist are Pittsburgh (PNC?) and Camden
ETA: Forgot about Fenway. Hated it. Might like it more if I sat somewhere else, but I was in the RF seats. We were in seats 1-4 of a row that had about 50-60 seats, and the row ended with an inexplicable wall. So when anyone in our row , some 50 or more people, got up to hit the restroom, or grab a drink, we also had to get up, to let them out. Spent almost the whole game getting up, letting someone out, then sitting back down. then getting back up....

Giants ... depends on the year you went ... old ballpark was Candlestick while the Giants played there (It's now Monster Park).
The new ballpark was PacBell Park, then SBC Park ... now ... AT&T Park ... 3 names ... 7 years (or so) ... nice.
I've been to ...
Fenway (has to be close to 200 times)
Yankee Stadium
Wrigley Field (tops in my books)
Fulton County (old home of the Braves)
Turner Field (new home of the Braves)
Camden Yards
AT&T (Giants)
McAfee Stadium (Oakland Stadium) by far, the worst place I've been to ... but I get to see the Sox cheap there!
Dodger Stadium
Jack Murphy Stadium (when the Pads played there ... still haven't been to PetCo)
Bank One Ballpark (Diamondbacks ... it's like a gymnasium ... it was 115 outside and it was airconditioned to 89 degrees inside ... and people were wearing jeans ... ha ha ha)
also been to Dunedin (Toronto), Clearwater (Phillies) and Ft Myers (Red Sox) for spring training.

safeco i assume. i've never heard anyone say good things about mcafee, especially since the raiders added those extra seats that go unused for baseball and just hover over the field.

Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
Just because they sold the name doesn't mean I ever stopped calling it Comiskey..
I live just a few miles from Wrigley, but have never been there. I drove by it for the first time last night when driving a friend home from the bar.. I had a sense of being too close to Mordor.
I go to Skydome (Rogers Centre my ass) every time I'm in Toronto. I wanted to go to Seattle when I was in Vancouver to see the Jays lose on my birthday a few years ago but was told they wouldn't let me cross the border in a Canadian rental with an Austrian passport :mad:
