What's your MLB stadium number?

    RFK is now the fifth-oldest stadium in MLB, behind Fenway, Wrigley, Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium.

    When I first went, back on April 21, 1962 (Thank you baseball reference) it was one of the newest.

    Seattle, it was where the Pilots played in '69.

    And I can add the old RFK,...I saw the 'Dead there in '94

    I'm low on current stadia:

    Miller Park
    Metrodome
    Wrigley Field
    Busch Stadium
    Great American Ballpark
    Jacobs Field

    I've covered football at Dolphin Stadium, but obviously that doesn't count.

    Will likely take my baseball-mad daughter to PNC Park this year.

    Not many here ...

    Current
    Kauffman Stadium
    Fenway Park
    Wrigley Field
    Coors Field
    RFK

    Long gone
    Three Rivers

    ... and I will add Yankee Stadium to Fenway and Wrigley this summer to complete that historic trifecta.

    I never added my former stadiums to the list:

    -- Atlanta-Fulton County
    -- Milwaukee County Stadium
    -- Old Busch
    -- Metropolitan Stadium
    -- Riverfront/Cinergy
    -- Was supposed to go to a Rockies game at Mile Hile, but a little thing called the '94 strike wiped that out.

    Was once in Toronto on family vacation in mid-80s and I wanted to go and see the Blue Jays at Exhibition Stadium. I'm still pissed at my parents about that veto (OK, kidding there).

    We should have two divisions: beat writer and non-beat writer.

    Anyway...

    Current Stadiums
    Dodger Stadium
    Angels Stadium of Anaheim
    CA/Network Associates/Oakland Coliseum
    Skydome/Rogers Centre (been there under both names, 15 years apart)
    Comerica Park
    New Busch Stadium
    Wrigley Field
    Fenway Park

    Former Stadiums
    Candlestick Park
    Arlington Stadium
    Tiger Stadium
    Three Rivers
    Cleveland Municipal
    Fiscalini Field (San Bernardino, CA)

    Minor League Stadiums
    Epicenter (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
    Clear Channel Stadium (Lancaster, CA)
    The Diamond (Lake Elsinore, CA)
    Maverick Stadium (Adelanto, CA)
    Arrowhead Credit Union Park (San Bernardino, CA)
    Sam Lynn Ballpark (Bakersfield, CA)
    Recreation Park (Visalia, CA) -- the worst minor league park in creation.
    John Thurman Ballpark (Modesto, CA)
    Dukes Stadium (forgot the real name/ Albuquerque, NM)
    Old Kent Park (Grand Rapids, Mich.)

    Should knock Yankee Stadium or Shea (depending on who's in town when I'm there in July) off this list.

    Covered two Holiday Bowls and a SD State football game at Jack Murphy, but never saw the Padres there

    I've been to the Lowe's that now sits on the land where Sicks' Stadium (note apostrophe) once was. Does that count? :)

    Only if you remembered to say "shitfuck" or "fuckshit" on the way in as a tribute to Joe Schultz.
