I have seen both Bryant-Denny Stadium and Jordan-Hare Stadium (although I don't remember the details of the latter) when a game was playing. I also have seen Rickwood Field (predates Fenway Park by 2 years, making it the oldest baseball park in the US that is still in use) for the Rickwood Classic. We drove by Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Metlife Stadium in E. Rutherford, and Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver.

Probably a lot of these won't mean much to American sports fans, so I'll start in order of relevance!

Stadiums & Arenas I have been to:

Wembley Stadium, The o2 Arena, Wembley Arena, White Hart Lane, Wimbledon, Lords Cricket Ground, The Oval Cricket Ground, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Twickenham Rugby Stadium, St Mary's Stadium, plenty of others that would mean little to American sports fans.

Other stadiums I have seen from the outside:

Millenium Stadium, Cardiff, Emirates Stadium, Villa Park, Brittania Stadium, Stoke, again plenty of others that wouldn't mean much to American sports fans.
