Over the weekend, I went to SBC park to see the Giants/Dodgers game and really enjoyed what they did there with the new park. With this trip and the one to New York in 2001, I figured I'd write down the ballparks I've visited and the ones I've just passed by.
Visited Baseball Stadiums (have seen a game inside the park):
Anaheim Stadium (Angels)
Dodger Stadium (Dodgers)
SBC Park (Giants)
Petco Park (Padres)
Qualcomm (Padres) (No longer used for baseball)
Yankee Stadium (Yankees)
Stadiums Seen (other than those above):
Candlestick Park (Giants)
Network Associates Coliseum (Athletics)
Shea Stadium (Mets)
Pro Player Stadium (Marlins)
Visited NBA Arenas:
Arrowhead Pond (Clippers) (Partial Home)
Great Western Forum (Lakers)
Staples Center (Clippers & Lakers)
NBA Arenas Seen (other than those above):
American Airlines Arena (Heat)
Rose Garden (Trailblazers)
Arena in Oakland (Warriors)
Madison Square Garden (Knicks)
Visited NHL Rinks:
Arrowhead Pond (Mighty Ducks)
NHL Rinks Seen (other than the above):
Canadian Airlines Saddledome (Flames)
Not sure of any others I can think of. Have only seen a couple NFL games - one at Anaheim Stadium before the retrofit and the other at Qualcomm in San Diego - both of which were mentioned above. Also, I can't quite remember if I saw General Motors Palace as I drove through Vancouver, but I won't add it since I don't remember. I also vaguely remember seeing the Delta Center as I drove through Salt Lake City in the dead of night, but I'm not quite sure about that either, so we'll leave that off the list too.
As a side note, if I could catch a game at Network Associates Coliseum in Oakland I will have completed the California superfecta (though I know superfecta refers to only four, I couldn't find something to work with five). I have already seen, starting in the south, Padres games (at both Petco and Qualcomm), Angels gams, Dodgers games and now, Giants games, but never an Athletics game at home. Though, quite honestly, the Oakland Coliseum has got to be one of the ugliest stadiums in existence as you look at it from the outside. We got up close looks as we flew into Oakland International Airport and then took BART to San Francisco and it has no character - it's just concrete with two huge Network Associates signs.
