the Ballparks/Stadiums/Arenas thread

Am i the only person who loves these things? Am I the only one here who likes to look at the stadium or arena where a game is being held? Dont ask me why but some thing i really like to do on the internet is go onto websites like www.ballparks.com or www.worldstadiums.com and look at stadiums not just here but in other parts of the world. Does anybody else really like stadiums?

My favourite sporting venues:

Ncaa football: Beaver Stadium (Nittany Lions), I really hate the lions, I really do. However can you take a look at their 106K seat stadium and tell me you would guess that it was built in the 60's: Beaver Stadium

Ncaa Basketball: Pitt's new Peterson Events Center: Peterson Events Center

NFL: Lambeau field. When i saw a game there a two seasons ago it was amazing for a couple of reasons: How such a small city can pack such a monster stadium, and how it is still called Lambeau (not Heinz or FEDEX). Lambeau Field

NBA: MSG. even though the Knicks suck know you can still feel the echoes of a better era. So much history is in that building. But dont be a sucker for those ticket prices. MSG

NHL: In my opinion to find a great arena that will always have a great atmosphere come game day you gotta go to Canada.
The Bell Center (Montreal Canadians)

MLB: Before i entered college (4 or 5 years ago) Me and my dad went to as many baseball parks as we could. These included Shea,Yankee,Wrigley,Turner,Camden Yards and Fenway of all of them Fenway is indeed the best. Nothing (Not Yankee stadium nor Wrigley) came close this park is in a leugue of it's own.Fenway

The three stadiums out side of North America that look the coolest to me (keep in mind i have not been to these stadiums i've just seen pictures of them) :

Old Trafford (Manchester United)

Camp Nou (FC Barcelona) this is the biggest stadium in Europe.

Telestra Stadium (National Stadium of Aussieland)

Have any of you guys been to a great stadium that i haven't mentioned? Have any of you guys had a memorable experience at a stadium?

Thank you
