Mine’s a pretty sorry list. The only cool thing I can offer is that I’ve sat up on the Green Monster at Fenway twice in the last 2 years (second row last year, front row this year). Those are some awesome seats.

Current:

Camden Yards  
Nationals Park  
Fenway Park  
SBC Park  
Dodgers Stadium  
PNC Park

Past:  
Metrodome (for both baseball and football)

The Metrodome is an utter dump and I’m glad the Twins got a new stadium. It was like watching a game in a Ziploc bag.

It’s been replaced. Since 2000, the Tigers have played in Comerica Park.

:dubious: The Rockies were never a minor league team. They were a brand new MLB expansion franchise when Denver was awarded the team in 1991. You would have seen the AAA Denver Bears/Zephyrs in the 1980s. (Bears from 1955-1984, Zephyrs from 1985 on.) The Zephyrs played in Denver until the Rockies’ first season in 1993, then moved to New Orleans, where they still play today.

Former stadiums I have been to:

Forbes Field and Three Rivers Stadium, both in Pittsburgh.  
Mile High Stadium for a Rockies game in 1993, their first season.

Current stadium I’ve been to:

Coors Field, Denver.

Ah well, I was there in 1987. The old stadium did have an antique feel, those darned support pillars blocking views.

I haven’t been to too many:  
RFK where the Nats played when they first came to DC;  
Wrigley Field  
Camden Yards,  
Fenway, and  
Nationals Park,

ETA: for minor leagues, I’ve been to a game in Woodbridge, VA for what was then the Prince William Pirates and Durham, NC.

I see I’m late to the game here, but I’ll contribute anyway.

**Present**  
Dodger Stadium  
AT&T Park  
Petco Park  
Angels Stadium  
Chase Field (while it was still the BOB, however)  
Wrigley Field  
Nationals Park  
Camden Yards  
Progressive Field  
Great American Ballpark

**Past**  
Jack Murphy Stadium

**Other**  
I took a tour of the original Busch Stadium in the offseason back in…I guess that would have been 1997. I’ve also stood outside of Coors Field (2005) and Kaufmann Stadium (1997) during the offseason.

Worse than that, they were a \*hockey \*team. 😉

It would have been very hard for them to play in Mile High Stadium. 😃

In Pawtucket? I was just there less than a month ago, as a matter of fact! Red Sox vs. Yankees, AAA edition.
