There were 8 of us and we sat 2nd row in the bleachers. Great time. Bar NONE - best baseball atmosphere I've been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a Red Sox fan, but I wanted to experiance Fenway. Nobody that reads this can say they dont like the smell of old beer and peanuts that you get at those old stadiums. It isnt just Fenway either, that smell was at the Big Sombrero, it was at Freedom Hall in Louisville. ****, it was even at the Superdome, pre-Katrina. I don't really want to know what it smells like now though..Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite venues I have been to:1) Wrigley2) The Swamp (if you have never been go for one game, loudest venue I have ever been to during the 1997 UF/FSU game)3) The Orange Bowl (Biggest Dump, great place to see a game, crowd is different, but ya know)4) Old Pitt Stadium (Shame they tore that down)5) Vaught-Hemmingway (Ole Miss...best tailgate ever)6) Joe Louis Arena (Went to one Red Wings game and it was GREAT, minus the 8 dollar beer)7) ND StadiumI've been to the majority college football venues, they are my fav.I am going to Fenway this summer and plan on going to Dodger stadium during a meeting this spring.Places I wanna go:FenwayLambeauTennesseeCameron Indoorto name a few...

However, it will generate more revenue with less seats.I will miss being able to go to the place that i grew up going to as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
