~Bear Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 For baseball, PNC Park was beautiful. The Georgia Dome (NFL) was meh, and whatever the NHL stadium in Raleigh is was decent. I don't get to go to a lot of my teams games since they are in Pittsburgh and one in Minnesota (Twolves) living in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Baseball Favorite: Huntington Park - Columbus, OH. It's the nicest ballpark I've ever seen. It's a fantastic facility. Least favorite: Tropicana Field - it's like watching a baseball game at Sam's Club or Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The Rogers Centre/Sky Dome will always have a special place in my heart. Sure it's dated, but I really do love that place.

StaatsBrett Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 I loved the sky dome only if Rodgers didn't kicked them out http://i.imgur.com/4gh4ZhB.png http://i.imgur.com/DmN6VqA.png http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/103365-star-based-championship-signatures-by-request/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raysfan12 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Favorite: NBA: The nicest I went to is the Amway Center in Orlando (my first ever NBA game). I think it is a surprisingly nice arena and we got good seats to the game. Least Favorite: I would say Sleep Train Arena in Sac Town but thank goodness the Kings finally get a new arena. MLB: Favorite: Great American Ballpark: Definitely one of the cooler ballparks in the NL Least Favorite: O.co Coliseuim: As much flak the Trop gets, at least there is no sewage leaks at the Trop compared to the Colisieum. NFL: Favorite: Lucas OIl Stadium: It is my favorite sporting venue and has everything a great venue should have; looks, charm, design, etc. The only issue is that I've never been to a Colts game in Indy...yet. Least Favorite: FedEx Field: Just so boring and move the Redskins (eh, I mean Washington Football team ) back to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Least favorite: RFK Stadium. Time to put that old bird out of it's misery. However it's not exactly clear what the city plans to do with RFK after DC United moves into their own stadium. It's lease is ridiculously long. And it's not exactly set in stone that the Redskins would build a new stadium for themselves on that site. They've been openly scouting alternate locations for a new portential stadium. On top of that, most of DC's large outdoor concerts/events are held at Nationals Park now Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaatsBrett Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Never thought that DC united would be fine at rfk http://i.imgur.com/4gh4ZhB.png http://i.imgur.com/DmN6VqA.png http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/103365-star-based-championship-signatures-by-request/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's dated, but I really do love that place. I'd actually list Rogers Centre as my least favorite that I've been to (which isn't a very big list), but I think it had more to do with my experience rather than the venue itself. The roof was closed, so it was hot, I thought the concourse and food stands were strangely placed and my seats were basically in the dark. On top of that, I'd driven from Philly to Toronto that day on just a few hours of sleep. I do still use my souvenir beer cup regularly, though. As for my favorite, it has to be Camden Yards. I've been going there yearly since it opened and absolutely love the place. I also really like Heinz Field, although I haven't been there since my brother graduated from Pitt.

StaatsBrett Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Dude Camden Yards was OK but the best is probably minutemaid park or pnc http://i.imgur.com/4gh4ZhB.png http://i.imgur.com/DmN6VqA.png http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/103365-star-based-championship-signatures-by-request/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Mostly baseball, but one other on my least favorite side. Favorite: AT&T Park Wrigley Field (New) Yankee Stadium Least Favorite: AT&T Stadium (felt like a big, lifeless, CostCo. It also felt like one of the most cheaply made stadiums I've ever seen. It was like the Chevy Cruze of pro sports stadiums) (Old) Yankee Stadium (the place was an absolute dump when it was replaced) Fenway Park (I get the history and I like it for that, but the sight lines are downright nightmarish and its absurdly small) On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

2001mark Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Air Canada Centre is a personal fav, if for no greater reason than in the winter, I don't have to be outside from the time I park my car at Finch subway station. It's got a sports bar appeal to it, so be it. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's dated, but I really do love that place. It's a pretty nice yard. I went to a game at Rogers in 1997. Normally, I'm not a fan of parks with roofs and fake grass, but and I really liked the place. The roof was open which I imagine made a big difference.

Ben in LA Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The NFL hates it, but I love the LA Memorial Coliseum. It's old-school...and full of history. Of course Dodger Stadium is a favorite as well. Unfortunately I haven't been to too many out-of-town stadiums, so I can't really mention a least-favorite one. I WILL say AT&T Park and PETCO Park are pretty damn nice...but I still prefer Chavez Ravine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 MLB (I've been to 23) Favorite: Fenway Least: Metrodome College Football (been to about 10) Favorite: Camp Randall Least: Metrodome For the most part MLB and College football are the only venues I really care about...But I do like older places with some character: Williams Arena (Minnesota Basketball), the Met Center (North Stars), "the Whale" (Yale Hockey; don't recall the actual name).
