Favorite Parks, Stadiums or Arenas???? - Page 2

As far as my favorite, the only stadium I've been to that still is in existence, is BOA Stadium in Charlotte. Good place, but it's always overrun with opposing team fans. I've been to Fulton County Stadium, but it's been gone for years.

If you want to count NASCAR tracks as stadiums, I've been to Rockingham, Darlington, and Charlotte.

Never been but my favorite stadium of all time is:

I went to Wrigley Field when I was a kid. I loved it. The ivy is simply awesome and you don't see that anywhere else.

I also love the Reds stadium, Great American Ball Park. You can look out onto the river and see the boats go by.

Although Comerica is nice, Tiger Stadium held some good memories. Not a lot of them, but a few good ones. I loved that centerfield was 440 ft. You just don't see that anymore.

I like Camden Yard in Baltimore. It is a nice stadium with good views of the Baltimore skyline. The best part though, is that it is in the middle of downtown and you can go to a ton of great bars and restaurants before or after the game.

AT&T park is another great park. My family and friends used to take our boats from Stockton, CA in to the SF bay and stay at Pier 40 which is right next to the stadium. The stadium is great and they sell day of game tickets in the outfield cheap!

I'll throw another vote this way. Went there for the first time a few weeks ago--awesome venue, very clean, not a bad seat in the house from what I could tell, and great food. Being right down the street from the Inner Harbor is a big plus, too.

For football, I've been to plenty of Redskins' games at FedEx--it sucks. Can't even compare to the old RFK Stadium, where the bleachers would sway & the entire stands would vibrate when the fan's intensity got too loud. Superdome is nice as well, but only for big Bowl games.

For concerts & performances, the nicest place I've been to is the Kennedy Center.

I haven't been to a lot, but I love Kinnick.

Not sure. Home of the Hawkeyes, the music played before a game, just like the feel of the place.

The ones I've been to that I've thoroughly enjoyed:

Camden Yards
At&T Park
PNC Park (too bad they can't field a team to match their stadium, I think it's one of the best in baseball)
Lambeau Field
Soldier Field (before the renovation)
M&T Bank Stadium

Sitting at the Holy Grail( sports bar right across) from great American ball park. Did a stadium tour and reds hall of fame. Really neat stadium on the water. A lot of building going on around the park( micro brewery will be done in October.)

Reds hall of fame was very cool.

They don't mention Pete much but have a lot of references to him.

I can't upload pictures till I get home next Thursday.
