  The courtroom inside the Vet was for Eagles games, not Phillies games.

  Can’t believe Candlestick didn’t make it.

  When Shea Stadium opened, William Shea Municipal Stadium, the electronic sign board said 'Isn't this the most beautiful stadium that you have ever seen'

  You should look up the Baker Bowl. It had two separate collapses, one of which lead to 12 people dying. It also burned down once, though thankfully nobody was around. Place seemed cursed.

  Seattle "Rainers" makes sense for Seattle, LOL.  But it's Rainiers, for the mountain nearby.

  The ghost of the Metrodome is wiping the sweat off its brow and asking “how the hell did I dodge making this list??!!”

  I would have included Candlestick Park. That place, due to it's unique location, was always windy and cold.

  Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh also had all the problems of a multi-purpose field. It was difficult to even get to it, and once you got there it was a major trek to get to your seat, and once you finally got to your seat the view of the field was probably bad.

  I&apos;m surprised the L.A. Coliseum was not mentioned. &nbsp;It was never meant for baseball, of course, but the way baseball had to adapt to its dimensions was bizarre, to say the least.<br>I went to one game at Olympic stadium in Montreal when I was a tourist there. &nbsp;The back edge of each seat had a metal stud on it to catch on the seat back when you lowered it into place. &nbsp;Since &nbsp;attendance was not particularly good at the time, every fan could grab the seat or seats on either side of him, and bang that metal stud on the seat back. &nbsp;The noise this created was persistent and really annoying.

  The irony of the Athletics sharing a ballpark with another team is that a similar thing happened back when the Athletics were in Philadelphia. Connie Mack Stadium was shared with the Phillies for a spell before the Athletics moved to Kansas City in 1953.
