Wrigley

Another amazing stadium i would love to visit in my life time is the Chicago Cubs Wrigley field. again one of the oldest fields in baseball, built in 1914 but started being used in 1916. it is also one of the only 3 "classic" stadiums and also very unique. Its whole outfield wall is just ivy covered walls giving it its own unique look.also they are onne of the only stadiums that still change the scoreboard by hand. it got its name from the team owner back in 1926 William Wrigley Jr. of the chewing gum company Wrigley. The whole stadium is surrounded by bars and restaurants if you want to just watch the game from near by but id deffinitely love to watch a ball game in there

Fenway

One of the nicest most prestigious fields in all of baseball, the Boston RedSox's Fenway Park. ive always wanted to go watch a game there in left field on the green monster. This field is THE oldest field in baseball history, although it has been modified throughout the years. it is one of the only three "classic" fields left in baseball along with Wrigley and Dodger Stadium. Fenway is one of the most unique fields in the game with "the triangle" and most known for its green monster in left field. this stadium holds the record for most consecutive sell out games at way over 650 games. Next year will be its 100th year as a ball park. the stadium is also used for many concerts and some soccer games.. they are also open for tours. you could get a tour any day of the year from about 9 am to 3 pm and 12 pm on sundays. i would love to go see this field and maybe get a tour one day.

This is a view of the field from the green monster

Marlins new ballpark

Starting next seaon the marlins will finally have a new stadium.. thank god. best thing about it is i live 10 minutes away from it so now i can catch more home games. im really excited to see how it ends up since ive been watching them build it from the start and have been able to see how its progressed. its right where the orange bowl used to be so the area is used to having big amounts of crowds there, and best part is i wont have to pay for parking because my cousin lives on the block where the stadium was built!

Tally

About 2 weeks ago I went to Tally and got to watch an FSU football game. If you wanna talk about crazy stadiums thats the perfect one to start with. Back when the Doak S. Campbell stadium first opened in 1953 it only seated about 15,000 people. Now after all these renovations through the years it now holds up to about 85,000, which was the case for the UM vs. FSU game in 05. Watching a game there was one of the craziest environments I've ever been a part of in my life. Just from the early morning tailgate till the actual game is something I wish I could do every week. There is such a tradition on that campus and pride for its football field.

Intro
