Whenever I travel on business, one of the first things I do is head to the local MLB, NBA, and or big college stadiums to check them out, even if there is no game. If there is a game, I try to attend.

MLB team stadiums I have never visited (meaning, saw a game):

1. Florida Marlins
2. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
3. Toronto Blue Jays
4. Minnesota Twins
5. Montreal Expos
6. Washington Nationals

Older stadiums I have visited but have since been replaced

1. Seattle (been to a game at the old Kingdome, not the new park)
2. Chicago White Sox (been to old Comiskey as well as US Cellular)
3. Philadelphia (been to the old Vet, not the new park)
4. Astros (been to both Astrodome and Minute Maid...actually, I went to game there while it was Enron Field, too)
5. SD (games at the Q as well as Petco)
6. SF (been to horrible dreadful Candlestick Park, as well as pristine Pac Bell)

New team stadiums I have been to, but not the old classics

1. Pittsburgh (been to PNC, not to 3 Rivers)
2. Detroit (Comerica, not Tiger Stadium)
3. Cleveland (been to the Jake, not old Cleveland Municipal)

Some of my highlights:

1. Opening day at the new Petco Park in SD
2. Getting a tour of Fenway, including behind the Green Monster. Sat on top of the Green Monster for the game
3. Visiting Monument Park at Yankee Stadium
4. Seeing sausage race at Milwaukee
5. Hitting a beach ball in the left field pavilion at Dodger Stadium (they never seem to bounce my way)
6. Saw Big Mac hit one out at the Ravine during the "Summer of Slam"
7. Too many memories growing up at the Ravine to count...
