NFL
Been to:
1. Three Rivers Stadium
-Loved it for football, however, some of the sightlines were obstructed and you were pretty far away from the field.
2. Heinz Field
-Great football stadium. Have sat just about everywhere you can in the stadium from sidelines, corners, upper deck, club, and luxury suites. It's all about the game and fan experience.
3. Ford Field
-I'm not a fan of dome stadiums for football, but this is a nice one. Not quite the feel that Heinz Field has and it was quite warm inside the stadium. Still well done.
4. AT&T Stadium
-Very underwhelming for how much hype this place gets. Not great for a football fan. Seats are a mile away from the field and the enormous scoreboard takes away from the atmosphere are you can't see the fans around the stadium. Maybe it's nice if you're in the suites or clubs?
5. Lincoln Financial Field
-Solid stadium. A little bigger than Heinz Field, but the sound system is bad.
Want to go:
-Lambeau Field - For the history.
-SoFi Stadium - Given how many levels, it probably puts fans far from the field, but it looks like a cool place
-U.S. Bank Stadium - Love this design for a dome.
-Lumen Stadium - Great looking stadium and it seems like an incredible fan experience.
MLB
Been to:
1. Three Rivers Stadium
-It was alright for a baseball stadium. Much better for football.
2. PNC Park
-This is what I picture for a baseball stadium. Perfection.
3. Citizens Bank Ballpark
-It may not be one of the elite stadiums in MLB, but is very nice. Good blend of classic and modern and I do like how all of the sports complexes are near each other.
4. New Yankee Stadium
-Grand from the outside, cheap feeling on the inside. I expected a grand, historic feel. I felt none of that walking in.
Want to go:
-Coors Field - I walked around it when I was in Denver, unfortunately, the Rockies were out of town.
-Camden Yards - The stadium we have to thank for many of the beautiful ballparks we have today.
-Petco Park - A great looking stadium.
-T-Mobile Park - An outdoor stadium with a retractable roof, Seattle has two very nice stadiums.
-Oracle Park - There's a reason it is ranked the No. 1 or 2 stadium in baseball.
NHL
Been to:
1. Civic Arena
-The seats and concourses were small, but what an incredible place to watch a game.
2. PPG Paints Arena
-Don't get me wrong, it's nice, just very generic. The concourses feel like a small, no distinguishable architectural feature on the outside, generic PA announcer, generic in-game entertainment, fans are quiet. Three Rivers Stadium, Civic Arena, PNC Park, and Heinz Field all feel Pittsburgh. This is just a building.
3. Joe Louis Arena
-Wow did this place get loud. Legitimately intimidating.
Want to go:
-These places don't intrigue me as much, but probably Capital One Arena to watch the Pens beat the Caps, Little Caesars Arena, Xcel Energy Center, Nationwide Arena, Madison Square Garden.
College
Been to:
1. The Pete
-Great basketball venue.
2. Pitt Stadium
-It was a dump, but it was our dump.
3. Heinz Field
4. Beaver Stadium
-Supersized high school stadium on steroids. No room to sit.
5. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
-Cool setting, but felt like a big high school stadium.
6. Mountaineer Field
-Another "bare bones" stadium but a fun place to watch a game. Excellent pregame show.
Want to go:
-Cameron Indoor Stadium
-Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
-Bryant-Denny Stadium
-Folsom Field
-Clemson Memorial Stadium
-Lane Stadium
-Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
-McLane Stadium
-Michigan Stadium
-Notre Dame Stadium
-Huntington Bank Stadium
