Looked good on tv, but so much foul territory in the diamond almost impossible to win a batting title.

As much as I hated playing there those old Miami/FSU day games in 120 degree heat with a packed Orange Bowl was one of the best atmospheres in College Football


When did you play there?

The L.A. Coliseum may be considered a dump, but it the most historical sports stadium in the world.
It has hosted the following:
Two Super Bowls, college football, the Dodgers, two Olympic Games, and soon to be three, NFL-Rams and Raiders.

The old Garden was a hot sweaty mess, and it was glorious. Went up there as a kid and saw a game with my dad. All I can remember is that since there wasn't AC it was naty hot and smoke filled the arena. We went out to Fenway the next day and saw a game there as well.

As far as old NFL stadiums Lambeau takes the cake. They've modernized it a good bit, but the bones of an old gritty stadium is still there.

Riverfront Stadium ftw. I've got a lot of childhood memories in that dump.
