What Pro Sports Venues have you been in that don't exist anymore
 

Ok sports fans,

I was in a conversation the other day about what pro sports venues have you been in that are no longer standing.

My list is below

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-RCA Dome Indianapolis (Colts)
6. Market Square Arena (Pacers) & Elvis's last concert I was there.

What does your list look like?

Crosley Field in Cinn, Shibe Park in Phila., Yankee Stadium, Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds in NY, Jarry Park in Montreal, and others which I cannot recall at present.

Here's mine...
 

...or as many as my feeble mind can remember tonight!

• THE Yankee Stadium (saw all the stars 50's to 2008)
• The Old Madison Square Garden; at 8th and 49th Street in Manhattan (remember 4 team doubleheaders - stood next to Wilt!)
• Giants Meadowland Stadium (LT, etc.)
• RCA Dome Indy (1st & only time I saw Dan Marino)
• Riverfront Stadium Cincinnati (After Big Red machine)
• Old Busch Stadium, St. Louis (in the 80's)
• Texas Stadium; Dallas (My Giants broke my heart there one night)
• New Haven Coliseum (NH Nighthawks)
• New Haven Arena (NH Blades, remember the movie Slapshot"

Yankee Stadium
Meadowland
Madison Square Gardens (didn't know it didn't exist any more though)
Candlestick for the Giants (yes, I know, still used for football, but ...)
Kesar
a couple of others but too tired to think of 'em

The Boston Garden

Ebbetts Field, Home of The Brooklyn Dodgers
The original Madison Square Garden, Home of The Knicks and Rangers
Brooklyn Ice Palace, Home of some great amateur hockey and speed skating
The Original Shea Stadium, home of The Jets and Mets.

Yep, and Schaefer Stadium. :D

Baltimire and DC now....
 

Griffith Stadium, DC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffith_Stadium
'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

Where the Chicago White Sox used to play...
 

What ever the old Baseball park in Chicago where the Sox played."

That would be Comiskey Park. Replaced by U.S. Cellular field.

Soldier Field - nearly completely rebuilt.

Old Comiskey Park - can still smell the stock yards

.

Connie Mack Stadium - former home of the Phillies
Veterans Stadium - former home of the Eagles and Phillies
Boston Garden(original) - former home to Bruins and Celtics
Shea Stadium - former home to the Mets
Spectrum - still standing but no longer used, former home of the Flyers and Sixers

And, L&L, the original Capital Centre which became US Air Arena home to the Baltimore/Washington Bullets then Wizards NBA and NHL Caps.

Capitol Center
 

Wait!
That place in Landover with the taco roof is dust? We didn't even know it was sick!

Little Stevie nearly blew the roof off in 1970

Yep, it got blowed up ... Now a shopping center on that property.

Pittsburgh
