1a. Great American Ballpark (Cincinnati)
1b. Riverfront Stadium (Cincinnati)
2a. Jacobs/Progressive Field (Cleveland)
2b. Municipal Stadium (Cleveland)
3. PNC Park (Pittsburgh)
4. AT&T Park (San Fran)
5. O.co Coliseum (Oakland)
6. Coors Field (Colorado)
7. Wrigley Field (Chicago)
8. US Cellular (now Guaranteed Rate Field? Seriously?) (Chicago)

With the number of games I've been to in my life, this is a depressingly small list. I've been to over 200 games at Great American Ballpark alone.

I'm going to a game at Target Field and Comerica Park in September. I might be going to a game at Miller Park as well.

You didn't go to the Nats stadium or Camden yards while in DC?

Well, I've taken batting practice in the indoor cages and have been on the field at Nationals Park, but I didn't go to a game because they were out of town.

I try to go to new stadiums when I travel for work or on vacations. Told my wife when I retire that I want to get an RV and travel around for a year to as many games/stadiums/races as I can (basketball, football, baseball, & NASCAR). She is not too thrilled about this idea.

Besides Atlanta's new stadium and getting back to Cincinnati, trying to plan a couple weekend trips to get to see Yankee/Mets stadiums & Baltimore/Washington stadiums

Looking at the schedule, and given how much PTO I still have left this year, I might try to road trip to St Louis and Kansas City the last weekend of the season and mark two more parks off the list.

Busch Stadium was awesome! One of my favorite parks that I have visited. Make sure you go early and spend some time around the stadium as there are great bars and restaurants around it to pre-game.

Wasn't it originally Dodger Stadium? Did they sell the rights to someone?

Here are mine in their entirety.

-Riverfront in 1989 while I was courting my soon-to-be wife. She asked me to get her some ice cream in a batting helmet, and I missed all of the exciting plays while standing in line. Was worth it. The Beach Boys played afterward. Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Bruce Johnston came around in Corvette convertibles.

-Great American Ballbark about 12 years ago - apparently the camera zoomed in on me during "God Bless America" because I was wearing my American-flag-and-eagle shirt. A buddy of mine back home snapped a photo on his TV for me. Wasn't pretty.

-Old Comiskey Park in 1986, my first MLB game. First time in Chicago, took 3 hours to drive 10 miles. Missed half of the game. Red Sox were in town, some young whippersnapper named Clemens pitching. He covered the bag on a grounder in the hole, beat the runner, ump called safe. Clemens was spectacular in his response, got ejected. I was happy.

By her mid 20's she realized she had been to about a dozen ballparks and decided she wanted to get to them all by the time she was 30. Finished in Seattle last summer a few months after her 30th. The last few years we would plan vacations around getting to a few parks. Pretty cool way to see the country.

Nice. I'd love to visit every major league city by the time I'm 40, so I've got about 5 seasons left. After this season I will be up to at least 10, but potentially 13 cities. Just over 3 a season after that would put me there. Frontier just announced they are adding direct flights to Seattle and Miami, so I can cross off two more pretty easily next year. My job takes me to DC every year for a week in the summer so I'll be able to hit DC and Baltimore at some point soon if their home while I'm there.
