  • Belly35
    From 1980 thru 2000 almost every Stadium pro and some colleges new or reconstruction project I have had a set of Architectural Site plan or Full drawings set in hand or on site Generally I would have the orginal stadium plans for reprographic restoration. I have repro of some of the orginal architect plans cover sheet. Ohio State, ND, Mich state, Yankee Stadium, Browns, Indians .. I had more but many was distroyed in my home office fire. You could yes I was at many but some Ive never sat in or watched a game.

    When I went (2012) the stadium was crap but the atmosphere was pretty cool. They also had decent food. It was interesting taking a walking bridge over a rail yard into the stadium with razor wire everywhere. I felt like I was entering a prison.

    Both of these things are true. Oakland fans are legit, even tho fuck the Warriors.

    I'm going to go off-topic a little...
    • Crew Stadium (now Mapfre Stadium)
    • Children's Mercy Park (Sporting KC)
    • Dick's Sporting Goods Park (Colorado Rapids)
    • Brandywell Stadium (Derry City, Northern Ireland)
    • Ullevi (Gothenburg, Sweden)
    • multiple lower division facilities that are shared

    Camden is my favorite park, too.

    Have not attended a ball game in 20 or so years.

    The old Reds stadium, pre-GABP two or three times.
    Wrigley three or four times, mostly in the 90's.

    I've heard great things about Camden. I'm hoping they'll be home when I am in D.C. next year.

    Three years back we did a vacation hit to PNC, DC for 3 days and Nats game and then to Va Beach....unfortunately the O's weren't home but did have front row seats in Nats park to watch Nats vs O's....it was a playoff atmosphere between the nearby natural rivals. Also loved Nats park opening early and getting to see home team BP

    Riverfront Stadium- Cincinnati, OH
    GABP - Cincinnati, OH
    PNC Park - Pittsburgh, PA
    Camden Yards - Baltimore, MD
    AT&T Park - San Francisco, CA

    Pretty short list, unfortunately. Really need to make it to Cleveland for a game soon. Didn't get to watch a game in San Francisco since the Giants were on a road trip when we were there. We did do a stadium tour though, which included checking out a suite, the visitor dugout, indoor batting cages, visitor club house, and walking around on the field. PNC is pretty awesome since you get the view of the city, Camden Yards is just an awesome place to watch a game, but my favorite park is AT&T. Just something about the view of SF Bay, the Bay Bridge, and the stadium itself being the nicest one I have been to in my limited experience.

    definitely one of my faves--and when you go, make sure you get something from the Boogs BBQ!

    Of the new ballparks, AT&T is my favorite as well. Although we were there for an NLCS game in 2010 so the atmosphere for the game was great to go along with great yard with views of the Bay. Hard to beat. It was our honeymoon, we were going to Monterrey and SF so a couple of my groomsmen bought us tickets to the game.

    In order:

    Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles, CA (1986)
    Municipal Stadium - Cleveland, OH (1992)
    Three River Stadium - Pittsburgh, PA (1992)
    Tiger Stadium - Detroit, MI (1993)
    Jacobs Field - Cleveland, OH (1995)
    Fenway Park - Boston, MA (2008)
    Candlestick Park - San Francisco (2009)

    I've been to Dodger Stadium and Jacobs Field more than once.

    I still refuse to call Jacobs Field by its new name. It'll always be The Jake to me.
