stuckincincy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Three Rivers stadium Fenway 802812[/snapback] Some folks didn't like Three Rivers, but I did. The more or less "in-the-round" seating gave most folks good sight lines...especially for baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsInBurgh Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Best I've been: 1) Michigan Stadium -- nothing like it anywhere, at any level, in any sport. 2) Rose Bowl -- the backdrop is ridiculous (and I saw UM win nation title there, so I'm biased) 3) RWS 4) PNC Park -- horrible on-field product, great ballpark 5) Old Tiger Stadium Top to-do's: 1) Yost Ice Arena (UM Hockey -- crazy, crazy place I never got to when I was there) 2) The Horseshoe, specifically for a UM-OSU game 3) University of Phoenix stadium 4) Any large bull-fighting stadium (Mexico City?) 5) Neyland (U of Tennessee) Stadium bonus site -- Wherever it is that they're selling the hamburgers served on krispy kreme donuts, for the sheer 'instant artery clog' factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A burger and a doughnut do not mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 that you would like to see or have seen a sporting event.

tennesseeboy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Lake Placid Ice Arena..Son played goal and won a state championship there. Neat to see him skating around the same ice the Jim Craig skated wearing the American Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Who would have guessed that eating kittens could cause so much brain damage? 803020[/snapback] You have to admit, a game on top of the empire state building with no walls/fences would be somewhat entertaining.

Taro T Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 The best I've been to: Rich Stadium (for obvious reasons) The Aud (ditto) The (Montreal) Forum (great atmosphere) Staples Center (LA, surprisingly loud fans for a hockey game) M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore, real nice stadium) Make Us Laugh Gardens (again, great atmosphere) Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge) (ditto) Michigan International Speedway (you can see the entire track from the grandstand and bring in as many coolers of beer as you want) Watkins Glen (cool road course) Giants Stadium (very similar to Rich Stadium) The Mmarena (she's growing on me) Happy Valley (small seating space on bleachers per person, but great atmosphere) University of Texas football field (forget it's name; kind of a dump, but good atmosphere) Walker Arena (where else could you sit on a rail to watch a game?) The rest: Boston Garden (sit behind one of the columns and you'll understand; that and lousy beer stands) Fenway Park (dump and lousy beer stands) Schaefer Stadium (I've been to high school football fields that were nicer) The Astrodome (just something wrong about watching baseball indoors) Exhibition Stadium (Toronto, nothing special) Riverfront Stadium The Summit (Houston) The Metrodome (bad memories) The Rosebowl (bowl rises at too low a slope, seats end up far from field & bad memories) The Superdome (too big, seats are VERY far from the field) The Rockpile Pilot Field Arlington Stadium Olympic Stadium (went there when the roof wouldn't go back up) I'm sure I'm missing a few, but that covers most of them.

Joe Jamail Field at Darrell K. Royal, Texas Memorial Stadium Always boggled me. How long ago did you come here for a game? They've been renovating it, and its not that bad of a stadium. Perhaps it was before I started school here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 My list begins and ends at RWS. To me, it isn't about being fancy. Who needs that? If I want fancy I can put on a suit and take my wife out to dinner. The Ralph is about familes, friends, fans that care, and truly nice people. 802525[/snapback] I would like to see a game on the road. Tampa Bay, San Diego, Denver, Cleveland, Seattle all seem like they would be fun. Even more so with Kenny and the Bowling Ball Bar. ANY Super Bowl! NFL Europe - any game with Nick - he could be my guide. A Bills Game at LABillsFans's or Alaska Darin's place. I would like to go to another city's Bills Backers Tailgate! I'll be back to McFadden's and the NYCBBB one day. A preseason game in Japan, Europe or Mexico. A CFL game - Hamilton and Toronto are not far. The HOF game and induction weekend. Only went to Yankee Stadium once - I would love to go there again. The Aud for a Sabres game. The last time I saw Buffalo hockey, the team was the BISONS! Sneak away from the women folk and watch a game with millbank! Do not get me wrong, I love the Ralph so it may begin there, but my journey would certainly not stop there!
