I kept skimming past this thread thinking I didn't have any. Of course when I thought about it for a split second I realized I was wrong.
Yankee Stadium 1 - Visited at the end of 2008 Season as a gift from my father Jack Murphy Stadium - Born in SanDiego, my parents said my first games were the Padres, but I don't recall them at all. Busch Memorial Stadium - Live in the St. Louis Area so I was a regular visitor |

Am I the only one that can put Ebbets Field on the list?
Saw my 1st ML game there in 1953, Dodgers against Phillies & Robin Roberts on the mound. Still have my ticket stub! Here's Ebbets Field today. |

Riverfront Astrodome Yankee Stadium And an awesome venue that still stands but seldomly used for professional baseball - Rickwood Field in Birmingham. Former home of the minor league Barons. Built in 1910. Oldest surviving professional ballpark. |

I had no idea, just Googled it, that looks great, not sure if I'll ever be back in Alabama, but would love to visit that place, that outside facade looks awesome!! And the names of the players who played there, no park still standing can boast these names: Cobb, Ruth, Josh Gibson, Williams, Mays, Musial, Jackie Robinson....INCREDIBLE!!! Thanks for posting that. completely unrelated, but fits..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab7eVVG3I8s like Samuel Jackson says, "I'm going" |
Shea Stadium, original yankee stadium, connie mack stadium, veterans stadium, Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)

More than I'd thought.
Shea Old Comiskey Atlanta fulton county - But for Olympic baseball Veterans - But for Army-Navy. Got to go on the field briefly after the game. Soon the new Atlanta stadium, but it can only count as half since I was there for Olympic track and field and was in the half they kept to make it a baseball stadium. Oddly all the minor league parks I've been to are still there, at least for now. Wahconah park in Pittsfield Last wooden grandstand around, built in 1919 Municipal stadium in Waterbury - now reconfigured but still used for baseball just not minor league. Lelacheur park Lowell - Newish and really a pretty park. McCoy stadium in Pawtuckett Holman stadium in Nashua. Steve B |

The Birmingham Barons play one Turn Back the Clock game there each season. This year's game is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 and will feature Darryl Strawberry as guest. I recommend adding it to one's travel schedule...

I'm probably off topic with these posts, so I'll stop after this one. When one visits the Rickwood Classic full access to the inside of the scoreboard is included. The entire ballpark is a step back in time...

I saw tons of games at Forbes, Comiskey, and 3 Rivers, and I saw a couple at Exhibition Park (Toronto), Yankee Stadium and Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Of all the ones I seen, standing or not, I have the fondest memories of my first one, Forbes Field. |
