I've stood on the platform that they built out overtop of the exposed catacombs and the first thing I thought was holy shite I want to watch a sporting event here

I really screwed up not going in 2009 to finals vs Texas at Rosenblatt. Could've met an old LSU buddy there too. But I worked instead.
Should've gone thru with my threat to catch a game at the old Yankee Stadium. I was a HUGE Donnie Baseball fan as a kid.
Detroit Stadium and Comiskey Park.

I’ll echo the nominations for Tiger Stadium.
Baseball stadiums will always be most unique because of the configuration of the parks. Old parks were situated as such because of existing streets. They were part of the fabric of a neighborhood. While modern parks are nice, they make them quirky because it’s trendy, not out of necessity. Minute Maid might be the worst offender of them all.
Football stadiums and basketball arenas bring back nostalgic feeling because of the crowds. Aside from the Boston Garden, I don’t find myself clamoring to see a game in a dated or demolished venue.

PAC Bell or whatever it is called is a lot nicer than Candlestick park ever was.

Some of the best seats in baseball were the Upper Deck Box Seats at Tiger Stadium. You were literally on top of the field and no obstructions. They were the first few rows of orange seats in the upper deck at Tiger Stadium.
The sad thing about Tiger Stadium is that Fetzer who bought the team in 1960 wanted a new stadium. Never did the upkeep and sold it to the City of Detroit for like a dollar in the 1970s and basically played there for free with no incentive to do any routine maintenance. He and the Domino's Pizza guy who bought the team in 1983 just let it go and didn't care.
Unlike Wrigley or Fenway which are owned by the teams the Tigers didn't give a shite and just wanted it to go down so they could get a new stadium. Have to understand that for over 30 years the owners wanted a new stadium.

Rosenblatt is the start and finish of this list for me

Seeing as how the Cubs have to formally ask permission from the City of Chicago if its ok to change out the toilet paper rolls, you don't have to worry about Wrigley going anywhere.

I don't think most Americans would be able to fit in those seats today.
They were built for the average male adult to be about 155 pounds.
Imagine sitting in this for 4 hours in the hot sun.
In the 21st Century it's a kid's chair.

Exhibition Stadium

Exhibition Stadium was probably the worst long-term home for a baseball team in history. Arlington Stadium for the Rangers is a close second.

There are a few, that thankfully, I was able to do before their demise.
Locally, Tulane Stadium for a Sugar Bowl or early years of the Saints & Super Bowls. The noise when the upper decks started stomping their feet on the steel was something you never forget. Of course, the Dixie Draft in the backpacks will never be replaced.
Comiskey and the White Sox. Hopefully, Wrigley will continue to survive in this day and age.
Has it been that long, but the Ballpark in Arlington will be the next one pretty soon. The dummies in Tx are taking down the stadium what I believe was second only to Camden Yards.
