My wife and I were at the mall last week and the sports memorabilia store had some stuff on display in the walkway. They had a nice selection of 8X10 stadium photos in frames. I was going through some of them and commenting that I had been here, and here, and there. I love stadiums and especially the overhead photos. She made a comment that I should make a list of all the places I have been to, and over time we could make a collection of the photos.

So today at the end of the work day I took a few minutes and figured it out. Using the pro sports (football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and major racing series) and division 1 college basketball and football, I have been to 27 different stadiums across the U.S.

It got me thinking, is this a lot?, average?, below average? I'm curious, how many have you been to?
 
Good question. Here are the ones I have been too, off the top of my head:
Busch Stadium (old and new)
Kauffman Stadium
Arrowhead
Kemper Arena
Edward Jones Dome
Savvis Center/Kiehl Center

Hearnes Center
Wrigley Field
old Comiskey Park
Soilder Field
United Center
Candlestick Park
Rupp Arena
Commonwealth Stadium (U of Kentucky)
Thompson-Boling Arean (U of Tenn)
Texas Stadium
Ballpark at Arlington (or whatever its called now)

I can't remember all of the stadium names and I don't feel like looking them up. For the ones I can't remember I'll list the team. I was fortunate enough to have a 5 year weekly travelling gig and I tried to see as many games as possible. All of my travel was primarily east coast. I haven't been to any stadiums west of Texas.
