The only MLB park I've been to is Wrigley. It was quite an experience. My dad and I were lucky enough to go in 97, the year before Harry Caray died and Sammy Sosa exploded (not literally ). I'd love to go to Pac Bell Park and Yankee Stadium (though I hate the Yanks).

Hey, imclayinaz, noticed you were from Surpise, AZ. Think that's where the Texas Rangers new spring training facility is.

Yeah, it is - Rangers and Royals (I think the Royals are still a MLB team, right? )

The stadium is 2 minutes away from my house, which means I'll get to see a bunch of Rangers spring training games - just walk over and see a game. That will be fun.

It's amazing though - there was a 2 hour line to get tickets for the games - and they were only spring training. Guess I'll have to get mine from scalpers or something.

"LOL maybe thats why you're ExPaws and not Paws."

Actually, part of the reason is because I stood up for my faith, went to church on Sunday (which got me to the park late), and challenged a "sensitivity course" because a company newslatter ran a "Red Wings Prayer" that denigrated the Lord's Prayer...

And I also got a better salary being hired by Mike Veeck and the St. Paul Saints. Go figure, an independant team pays more for a mascot than an MLB team.

That's a great one.

I have seen Coors field and Turner field but I've only gone to games at Camden Yards.

I've only been to The Ballpark in Arlington, Wrigley, and the Astrodome. Wrigley is my favorite, I think.

Oh, I totally forgot about going to that one. I guess it is easy to forget once you have The Ballpark.

I've heard that PNC is very similar to Pac Bell.

Being from MN, I have to deal with the Metrodome as a baseball park?? UGH!!

Anyway...I've also been to Candem Yards, Rieverfront Stadium (Cincinnati), and Dunn Tire Park (Buffalo, NY -- HOME OF THE AAA Bisons!!)

Anyway...that is all from me...going now...

Speaking of baseball parks, today I went to the new Surprise Stadium in Arizona and saw the Rangers vs. Royals in suite level seats. That was incredible!
