    My list isn't impressive, just a handful, but it does include seeing the Senators in the pre-RFK incarnation of D.C. Stadium in 1965 or so.

    I have a short list too, but I remember most of the games.

    Candlestick (I grew up in the Bay Area...My wife has a Croix de Candlestick, which was a pin you used to get if you made it through an entire extra inning night game at the stick...it would get really freakin' cold there)

    Oakland (duh...if you can cross one bridge you can cross another)

    The old Arlington Stadium

    AT&T Park (much warmer than the Stick...and gorgeous)

    I have been to a few minor league games as well, but I don't get out much.

    The Mrs. and I are trying to figure out what to do with our time after our daughter leaves for college. A couple of stadium trips wouldn't be a bad idea.

    Two, one no longer in use, one destroyed. The Astro Dome and Riverfront in Cincy.

    Currently the nearest park is about 10 hours away in Seattle, so I don't foresee myself adding to the list anytime soon.

    Current
    AT&T - My favorite, but I'm a homer. Bonds put two in the Cove on one of my trips.
    Oakland (Mcaffee, I think) - I met Bobby"The Brain" Heenan, The Rock and a few others before watching them from a suite that evening.
    US Cellular - Boring.
    Wrigley - Had a blast until I slipped on the floor of Cubbie Bear.
    Metrodome - Not as bad as everybody says.
    Turner Field - It's easy to get tickets, even for playoff games.

    Old
    Candlestick - I was so hammered after tailgating that by the fifth inning I couldn't open the second bottle of Bacardi for my coke. I do remember the fireworks had a Mickey Mouse shape.
    Riverfront - Nothing like a $1 ticket, a dog and a coke on dinner break.
    Busch - I sat in Big Mac land for No. 60. (the edit: I forgot about it)
