Only been to 1 as of today: Foothills stadium in Calgary. I was about 8 though so I don't remember it well.

I am going to BB&T Coastal Field on Wednesday though, very excited for that!

I've really only been to the Captains' stadium, and aside from the Comic Sans everywhere it was a nice little park. I really want to go to the Crushers' Stadium, it looks nice from 1-90.

What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.

Let's go Brownies!

Class A Short Season

Memorial Stadium (Boise Hawks)

So great that the Cubbies owner came by a few days ago and subtly told the city to get a new stadium, or they'll relocate.

Well, not necessarily. The Cubs do not own the Hawks, they just have a player development contract (PDC) with the Hawks, meaning the Cubs can leave an take their services to another team.

Minor league parks I've been to.

Skylands Park-New Jersey Cardinals-Class A NY Penn League

Very nice facility in August, New Jersey. Designed to look like a barn. Really a shame it doesen't have a tenant right now.

Harbor Park-Nofolk Tides-AAA International League

Beautiful place to watch a game. Great views of the Norfok harbor. Has a major league feel to it as well.

East Field-Adirondack Lumberjacks-Independent Northern League

Park wasn't that great despite its nice location. I understand at one time Glen Falls was a very ritzy area to live in, but it and the surrounding area has turned into a hick town. I feel bad for any player that ever had to suit up for the Lumberjacks or play there. Some of the insults thrown at the players were just downright nasty. Lumberjacks have long since folded as well.

McCoy Stadium-Pawtucket Red Sox-AAA International League

Feels like a mini Fenway Park. The standing room section down the left field line is one of the best views in all of baseball. If you sit down low near the field your right on top of the players as well. Really has a minor league feel to it as well, and is the best minor league park I've been to so far.

I've been to 2

-McCoy Stadium, home of the Pawtucket (Rhode Island) Red Sox (AAA). Although, I did once see the aforementioned Pawtucket outfit and the Lowell Spinners (A) each play a game at Fenway.

-Dow Diamond, home of the Great Lakes Loons (A), although for a concert and not a ballgame. Still a nice stadium though.
