What other stadiums have you been to? I've been to OPACY, Atlanta, and Arizona. I REALLY wanna go to Colorado.

Current stadiums: OPACY, Nats Park, Fenway, Citi, Philly, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Wrigley, New Comiskey, Trop Dome.  (Have only been to New Yankee Stadium for football).

Former MLB Stadiums:. Memorial, RFK, The Vet, Old Yankee, 3 Rivers, Riverfront, Cleveland Municipal, Tiger Stadium, Old Busch, and the ballpark the Braves played in from 1997 until just a few years ago.  Seen football games in a couple of ballparks that housed MLB teams: Fulton County Stadium in Atl, and the football stadium the Dolphins play in that I believe the Marlins played in for a while.

Excluding the Baltimore parks that have sentimental value, my favorite stadium from the first list is PNC Park, and my favorite from the second list is Tiger Stadium.

Seems more like a move Maddon would have made.

You think he gets a job somewhere else?

If you were hiring, would you hire someone who shows up to his job interview with a mohawk?

CP really looked shaky last time out. Hope to see him back to previous form tonight but a bit nervous, ngl

Wow, man! That's incredible! I haven't really got a good look at PNC Park since I don't watch Pittsburgh as much, but the one area that I have to mention is "Fulton County." I played football in high school and actually played there. Lol. But, that's so cool that you've been to all those incredible places. Very jealous.

Lol!! He actually showed up with it and got fired, right?

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't love PNC park. The park itself was fine...but the food options were really mediocre and the beer lacked local offerings

If I'm I hiring for a Blink-182 Tribute band it would be a plus.

Were you in the area and went to a game there or did you make a trip to go?

So you and I have both been on the field at Fulton County Stadium.  After VT won the 1986 Peach Bowl on a field goal at the buzzer, we were all a bit drunk and stormed the wet muddy field.  I found a girl's shoe right around the area where Chris Kinzer had hit the winning kick, and my friend Bob was a great athlete who actually tried to walk on as a punter the next year but Frank Beamer told him he had a great leg but he was already a junior and by the time he got taught all the right techniques he would graduate... Anyway I teed the shoe up and Bob tried to put it through the uprights but it only went about ten yards.

Like I said, we were all a bit drunk.

I just don't understand the Angels organization. They have a lot of talent, but is it the pitching that keeps doing them in every year?

Nice list. I made a list a while back but weams and I were planning on filling in some missing pieces and I regret that didn’t occur. 

So mine kinda from West to East are Dodger Stadium, the Big A in Anaheim, old Arlington, the old downtown Twins stadium, RFK, OPACY, PNC, CitiField, old Yankee Stadium, new Yankee Stadium, and Fenway. I’d like to see Wrigley before it’s gone.

Spend a few hours at Mike's Beer Bar across the street from left field before the game.  About a hundred beers on tap, fantastic quality, lots of local stuff.  Get your fill.  Then go to PNC and relax and watch the game with an IC Light.

Yep.  He was doing it to inspire the players but he got fired before he ever saw them.

Let’s get some insurance.
