OK so now I feel old. Started making my list and it turns out I've watched major league baseball in 12 stadiums total. Six of them either no longer exist or MLB teams no longer play there ( Connie Mack, Yankee (the real one), Shea, Jack Murphy Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium and Veterans Stadium)

I've also been in two MLB Stadiums where I have not watched baseball (Tropicana Field in 1999, and the new Yankee stadium for a Uconn - Army football game a few years ago - won't watch baseball there as the Yankees became dead to me after they ripped down the place where Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle played)
 
.-.
When my wife and I got married, we used Ballparks that one, the other, or we both have been to instead of table numbers. The only one she went to without me was Anaheim. and our quest to hit them all got derailed by...well...life.

I've been to:
1. Fenway
2. Busch II
3. Yankee II
4. Ballpark
5. ProPlayer
6. Shea
7. Jacobs
8. Metrodome
9. Olympic
10. Camden
11. RFK
12. Rogers
13. Miller
14. Wrigley
15. Tropicana
16. Yankee III
17. McAfee
18. AT&T
19. Nationals
20. Kaufman
21. PNC
22. Target
23. Coors
24. Citi
25. Citizens Bank
26. Busch III (pending. Going to StL. with my buddy for a Pearl Jam Concert next month. Hope to get tickets for game 2 of the Cardinals' season that afternoon).

I think that's it.

I've also been to City of Palms, JetBlue, and Hammond for Spring Training. Unfortunately, I was forced to pass up a trip to AZ in a couple of weeks for ST out west.

I’m not sure I could do 30 in one Summer. Our guest was insane to try, but had a lot of memories you will appreciate.
 
Fenway, first ML game, saw Williams, Mantle, Berra
Old Yankee stadium
Polo Grounds, saw Mays playing for Mets
Wrigley Field, boot camp liberty
Old San Diego Padre stadium in Mission Valley, saw a few Charger games there too.

Regrets I never saw Ebbets Field. My father saw many games there.
 
.-.
Fenway: probably 300 times.
Original Yankee Stadium: once.
New (‘76) Yankee Stadium: 3 or 4 times.
Shea: twice. A dump but easy to leave.
Candlestick Park: once.
Oakland Mausoleum: once. Worst place on earth(the stadium AND the city).
Dodger Stadium: 2 or 3 times. Love it. My 2nd favorite.
Anaheim Stadium: 3 or 4 times. Easy access, great sight lines, zero passion.
Jack Murphy (San Diego) 3 times.
Astrodome: once, for a tour.

That’s impressive! Family goal is to hit all 30.

To date we have hit 19:

Fenway (classic)
Yankee stadium (miss the old stadium, never going to the new one again)
Citi field (best NYC stadium, a yearly trip)
Citizens Philadelphia (was like 98 degrees)
Pittsburgh (a true gem, my favorite)
Baltimore (beautiful but there were terrible so it was empty)
Tampa Bay (surreal doesn’t feel like a stadium but the fans were cool)
Miami (kind of neat building but blah otherwise)
Atlanta (nice venue, in the middle of the pack)
*Astros (all that banging on the trash cans gave us a headache)
Texas Rangers (fun 4th of July game really nice experience)
Arizona (surprisingly good time, good fans)
Colorado (sat up in the mile high nosebleeds and had a great time, maybe had a couple craft beers)
The Jake Cleveland (pretty solid all around- definitely a good one to visit)
Milwaukee (top rate experience- clean modern stadium, fun fans and excellent food)
Washington (pretty OK not a DC guy but had a good time here)
Angels (fun times kind of cookie cutter stadium)
SD (beautiful park, obnoxious fans but can’t beat the weather)
LA Dodgers (royally messed up the sun factor for a daygame so the fam was toast. But a classic experience for every fan)

* I'm a Yankees fan, so both Stadiums
* I like baseball, so both Mets Stadiums (Citi Field > Yankee Stadium)
* Fenway, just once, but a cool experience
* AT&T Park - beautiful, freezing, smells like weed and fish, loved it
* Chase Field - first indoor experience, fun time especially in the summer when it's 120 out

Been inside but not for baseball

* Veterans Stadium - Went to my first Giants game there. My dad was recently divorced and moved to Jersey, went with his girlfriend and we bought tickets from a scalper who negotiated our price by including our hoagies as part of our payment. Giants won the game in OT by a Strahan pick-six off of Doug Peterson.

* Olympic Stadium - Visited it with @Letsgohuskies11 during a trip to Montreal. Weird and cold, felt like I was at a Home Depot.

Wow, that's an amazing list. How was Polo Grounds? Do you think Babe Ruth really hit a home run to dead center?
 
Muneesh on the podcast was a fun guest. Baseball maniac. It was the Summer of 2013 that he had the tour!
If you enjoyed listening, give us an Apple review. Thanks everyone!

Not many: Fenway, old Yankee, new Yankee, Shea, Detroit, Comerica, new Pirates Stadium, Cleveland, SkyDome. 9.
 
One. I was never a baseball fan, but my Dad and his best friend were. In the fifties, they would often take my "cousin" Joey, my older brother, and me to minor league ballgames in Bridgeport. On one occasion, when I was 9, they took the three of us to a game at the Polo Grounds. I remember nothing of the game other than how brightly the field was lit, and how tiny the players looked from our seats way up in the stands. And my father explaining that we had great seats, because we were closest to 1st base -- "the busiest spot on the field." I guess he meant other than home plate and the pitcher's mound.
