I know we’ve had similar threads on this issue, but I thought it might be fun to do it again. Let’s limit the discussion to only parks used by teams in Major League Baseball.

For me:

Stadiums currently in use:

Wrigley Field (Cubs)  
Chase Field (D-backs)  
Dodger Stadium (Dodgers)  
Angels Stadium (Angels).  
The Ballpark in Arlington (Rangers)  
Oakland Colosseum (A’s)

Stadiums no longer in use:

Candlestick Park (Giants)  
Astrodome (Astros)  
Dolphin Stadium (Marlins)  
Jack Murphy (Padres)

As a bonus, I attended Anaheim Stadium for a California Angels game before it was renovated into the new Angels stadium after the Rams left.

I’m not a sports guy. A year or two ago I went to Wrigley field for a Cubs/White Sox game, but before that the last game I went to was at Milwaukee County Stadium, probably over 20 years ago.
