I have been to every team’s Arena / Stadium in all four sports.   All 123 teams (and a few that no longer exist (eg Montreal Expos, Atlanta Flames)

160 facilities in total (many teams have moved into new places). 

I do have 8 to get to so that I have been to their current arenas / stadiums.   Plus there are 4 new ones coming in next year (Golden State, LA Football, Las Vegas Raiders and Texas Rangers) 

Best ones - there are many

Worst - Oakland

[dudacek]

Geez, I am very much a neophyte at this, apparently

Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum and Rogers Arena for NHL hockey

Husky Stadium and Qwest field for NFL football

Safeco Field and Jack Murphy Stadium for MLB

Key Arena for NBA

 

And in the more offbeat, Calgary Saddledome and University of Washington Arena for volleyball,  the Pacific Coliseum (again) Victoria's Save-On-Foods Centre and Kelowna’s Prospera Place for WHL hockey, BC Place Stadium for CFL football, and Edmonton’s Northlands Coliseum for WHA hockey

WHA Hockey ... Awesome!!

And, if you are still enjoying the nice weather out there and you want to make sure the tax man / woman don't ring your bell, if that is still a looming possibility ... PM me and I'll be happy to help you out.

Mine is going to be limited to MLB Ballparks, as when I was traveling for work in my younger years I had a mission to catch every ballpark.

NHL: Sabres (KeyBank Center), Chicago (United Center), Pittsburgh (PPG Paints Arena)

...countless AA and AAA ballparks in random small towns that I was stuck in for a week or so. The minor league parks were great to go to by yourself or with a co-worker because the beer was cheap and each half inning had crazy fan stunts and entertainment.

I've seen numerous other sporting events and sports in general (Soccer, NCAA games at UMd and MSU), but I figure that gives you an idea of how I avoided depression when I was an undergrad and grad student.

[shrader]

I'm amazed at how many people can actually name the arenas given how often those names change.  My guess is that over half of the still open pro stadiums/arenas I listed have been renamed since I was there.  Bonus points to the person who can list all of the names used while they were in attendance.  I'm sure many can say that they went to a game in the MMA, HSBC, FNC, and KBC.

[apuszczalowski]

NHL - Buffalo (Aud & KBC), Toronto (ACC)

OHL - Niagara/St Catharines (Meridian Centre), Hamilton (First Ontario - but not for hockey just concerts)

NFL - Buffalo, Chicago (Soldier)

NBA - Toronto (Skydome when the Raptors started, game was Jordans last season with Bulls)

MLB - Toronto, Clevland, Chicago (Wrigley where I caught a foul ball & I have been outside Commerica but we didn't end up going to the game)

While in Clevland I was around where the Cavs play and the Browns stadium. in Arizona I was outside the Diamondbacks stadium and went by the Cardinals stadium and A's spring training facility.
