1. Crosley Field Cincinnati Ohio (Reds)
2. River Front Stadium Cincinnati Ohio (Reds & Bengals)
3. Cincinnati Gardens (Royals)
4. What ever the old Baseball park in Chicago where the Sox played.
5. Hoosier Dome Indianapolis (Colts)
6. Market Square Arena (Pacers) & Elvis's last concert I was there.
What does your list look like?

Griffith Stadium, DC

'Dead'skins and Senators
Pop had one season ticket and knew a gatekeeper who let me sneak under the turnstyle.
So no seat for me- so I walked around the field - where it got so cold in winter there were constant fires in the 55-gallon trash cans
Anything that burned.
DC hosted the only 'opening day' - always one day ahead of others - and it was an excused absence as the Prez was there.
I always weaseled my way toward the dugout to see how close I could get.
Ike, Kennedy, Nixon, and a couple others.
They didn't take the mound, just lobbed one from the stands.
Sure beat school.
Beer was limited to the 'beergarden' in two bleacher sections.
Memorial Stadium, Bawlmer. Colts and O's
