fleetfootmike mentioned his quest to visit all 30 Major League Baseball parks. This caused me to count on my fingers to figure out how many parks I'd been in.

That would be twenty two, if I've not forgotten any.

Boston: Fenway Park
Baltimore: Camden Yards
Montreal: Olympic Stadium
Toronto: The Skydome
Cleveland: Jacobs Field (but no game, as it was delayed by rain until we had to leave)
Detroit: Tiger Stadium
Milwaukee: County Stadium, Miller Park
Minneapolis: The Metrodome
Chicago: Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park, U.S. Cellular Field (yuk!)
St. Louis: Busch Stadium I, Busch Stadium II
Denver: Coors Field
Arlington: The Ballpark at Arlington
Phoenix: Bank One Ballpark
Los Angeles: Dodger Stadium, Anaheim Stadium
San Francisco: Pacific Bell Park, The Coliseum
Seattle: The Kingdome

I would have picked up PNC Park in Pittsburgh in 2001, but work asked very nicely for me to take fewer vacation days across Worldcon, so we punted those tickets. The company paid for them, at least, as well as airfare and shipping of product to the Dealers' Room at MilPhil.

I loved Exhibition Stadium! The ex had access to tickets just up from 1st base and I know we sat through at least two snow storms. When we couldn't get those, we used to sit in the Zoo and pretend to be Tigers fans for safety whenever Detroit was in town and Yankees fans when NY was playing.

I was probably there a dozen times per year while it was in use for baseball. I enjoyed a lot of the games but never had any love for the venue.

I sat in snow for the 2nd game of 1977 and the only good thing about the weather was that it was better than it had been for the opener. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ExhibitionStadium.jpg
