I have been to a few. At Fenway I felt like I stepped back in time, more so than Wrigley. Both are great ball parks

The original TX Rangers stadium and the Will Rogers Coliseum. Good memories from both.

The smell at Fenway was something I’ll never forget.. amazing.. That, and in person you truly appreciate how small that stadium is.
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

Went to a couple games at Wrigley in the early 80’s, that was neat……but favorite isn’t in baseball. Top of my list is Allen Field House at KU, pretty much the home of College Basketball.

The old Lambeau field in Green Bay waiting in line to get in for a noon game everyone smelled like beer and brats.

Will Rogers, for sure. It’s old and a little decrepit…..but as good as an arena as there is for a horse show…..cutting, reining, or cow horse.
The first big AQHA class I ever won was at the Stock Show in 1981….the finals of my class was during the rodeo performance on a Sunday night…Will Rogers was full….still the coolest thing I’ve ever done!

MY favorites in no particular order.
Jacobs Field in Cleveland Lambeau Field in GB Lumen Field in Seattle Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

My family briefly lived in Cleveland when I was really young, and my earliest baseball memories are watching the Indians from a company box at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

I've been to Fenway, old Yankee Stadiuum, but for me it's Wrigley. The Ricketts family just completed an extensive renovation of the stadium and the surrounding venue. Modernization in areas that needed updating, yet retaining the classic features that everyone loves.

Memorial Stadium in Baltimore ('Bawl-mer') when the Colts played. As kids we used to scramble over the left field fence near the hill when security looked away. The stadium was called "The World's Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum" - it definitely could get rowdy. Baltimore was a solid blue collar, beer drinkin, bar fightin, friendly town back then.
Only at the end do you realize the power of the Dark Side.

In terms of cities - not specific eras or locations necessarily. I've spent a good bit of time in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, so those are special to me. Also, Chicago and NYC (Bronx, not Queens). I was just talking with friends the other day about Wrigley and Fenway's manual scoreboards. I need to get to Fenway.

That's a tough one but I think the 90's Bristol Nascar races both day and night would probably be my favorite.
Honorable mentions (no order): Chicago Stadium (Blackhawks) Comisky Park (the old White Sox stadium) Old Riverfront (Reds) Hoosier Dome (Colts)
