1. Arlington Stadium - saw a ton of games there, especially in the 1970s prior to the addition of the upper deck behind home plate. Nothing really special about it other than it was hot and you went there to watch BASEBALL, not be entertained with loud music between innings and for batter walk-ups, dot races, etc.
2. Jack Murphy Stadium - still there, but fully enclosed. I got to see games in it when the right field area was open, and the ambience was better for baseball. I thought it one of the nicer post-1965 "donut" or semi-donut stadiums
3. Astrodome - saw a lot of SWC Houston football in there, but only two baseball games, and both were very weird indoors, from the crack of the bat to the lighting, etc. Not my favorite place by any means.
4. LaGrave Field/Ft. Worth - former home of the now defunct Ft. Worth Cats minor league team. Really nice baseball ambience and historical site as well, built on the same footprint as the old LaGrave field, complete with the same dugouts (now field level suites), etc. Shame that the team went bankrupt and the stadium may be bulldozed for the sake of "progress."
