What Teans/Stadiums have you visited?

[bmathison1972]

If any of you have seen my collection, you know I collect swag from the stadiums and teams I visit (mainly baseball). I am curious, are there other people that like to visit stadiums and teams? Any sport!!!

All of the following are since stadiums have become a hobby (unless otherwise indicated); there are several others (college, minor league) I have visited that are not on this list.

I did check the Chit-Chat threads and I didn't see that this topic was started already. If I missed it, please feel free to combine topics and direct me to the main thread, thanks :-)

I haven't been to many at all. Yours is an impressive list!

I've been to:

Dodger Stadium (countless times from the 70's through the early 90's)
Anaheim Stadium to see the Angels/Yankees (back in the 70's) and the LA Rams/St Louis Cardinals pre season game in the mid 80's
L.A. Coliseum to see the Giants/Raiders (back in 1986)
Conseco Fieldhouse (Indianapolis) to see the Pacers & Knicks back in 2000 or so


That's it lol

[bmathison1972]

Oh wow RebelCoyote, that's a nice list and most of which I haven't been to yet.

I did post organizations rather than stadiums as stadium names change (SF Giants and Oakland A's both changed their names this year but the same stadium), but for all the teams I visited, I have seen only one stadium to date. The Braves (last seen in 2016) and Phoenix Coyotes (last seen in 2004 or so) are in new stadiums/arenas.

City Bank Coliseum - Lubbock, Tx (CHL)

That place is now torn down. Texas Tech been thinking of putting dormitories in place.

Also if you want add racetracks been to Texas Motor Speedway and Circuit of the Americas

Just get the cheapest seat and move around unless its giveaway night. The rail station takes you in front of the stadium as well.

That's a great list, Scott!!! I should get 5 more teams/stadiums this year (2 MLB, 2 MiLB, and 1 Summer Collegieate League). I get a lot of my stadiums and teams because of work trips! haha

Next weekend is my annual baseball trip to Milwaukee for the Timberrattlers and Brewers!

[bmathison1972]

Updated the first post to reflect the Milwaukee Brewers and Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (swag images under Show and Tell: Blaine's Sports Memorabilia).

In two weeks: Oakland Athletics!
