Ah, yes. Back in the day when you could be 1 of about 200 people at the game.

The only thing I remember about the game was, the Reading Phillies had a player called "T-Bone" Jones.

Tidewater Tides (when they were part of the Mets)

Only 3! but I'd like to visit more.

War Memorial Stadium (Buffalo, NY)
The current Bisons Stadium (Buffalo, NY)
whatever the one the Jamestown Jammers play at (Jamestown, NY)

I have been to four: three different stadiums hosting the Birmingham Barons, and the Memphis Redbirds current home.

My favorite, and the oldest in America, is Rickwood Field in Birmingham. Built in 1910, over 100 hall of famers have played there! Wagner, Cobb, Ruth, Robinson, Aaron, Mays and on and on. The list is staggering (https://www.rickwood.com/national-ba...e-members.html). And 105 years later they are still playing games there, albeit only one Barons game a year nowadays.

Let's see...

Lancaster Jethawks
New Britain Rock Cats
Connecticut Tigers
New Hampshire Fischer Cats
South Bend Silver Hawks
Breward County Manatees
Frederick Keys
Myrtle Beach Pelicans
AZL Dodgers
Adirondack Iron Birds

Looks like 10 for me. I won't count the VenturaCounty Gulls since they just played one season at the local JuCo. I've been to the park but never watched them play.

to catch a game at the reading municipal stadium. It is truly a great park and one of the few bright spots the city of reading has to offer. Not a phillies phan but love catching a few games each year and the quality of the ball park food is usually very good. it is ballpark food though so I am talking hot dogs, burgers,etc. Great fan interaction and my daughter and wife both love going and niether are baseball fans. PS Yes I know they are technically named the Reading Fightin' Phils, They will always be The Reading Phillies to me.

Only two:

Dr. Pepper Park (Frisco Roughriders, AA of Texas Rangers)
LaGrave Field (Ft. Worth Cats, independent)

LaGrave is pretty cool in that it was rebuilt on the same site as the old, historic LaGrave field, and the excavated dugouts were incorporated as field "suites," so essentially new LaGrave Field has four dugouts. It is also laid out exactly as the old stadium, with home plate at the exact same location.

I have also been to Majors Stadium, the site of a minor league baseball stadium in Greenville, Texas many years ago. Only the front gate (with ticket window) and adjacent tool/work building are all that's left. The gate is really cool, though: http://www.ballparkreviews.com/templ...in_state=Texas
