Lost MLB ballparks

[4cy16]

How many MLB parks have you been to see games at that now no longer exist.
6 for me.
2 in Minneapolis.
Comiskey park in Chicago.
County Stadium in Milwaukee.
Busch Stadium in ST. Louis
JFK Stadium in Washington D.C. My family went to a Senators-Indians game there in the summer of 68 while on vacation to D.C.

Metrodome and the old Busch. Pre-reno Kaufman but that doesn’t count.

The dome was horrible for so many reasons but dang that place could get loud and has a ton of nostalgia for me.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Metrodome- 1 time
Milwaukee County Stadium- 2 times
Old Comiskey- 1 time
Old Busch- 1 time
Mile High- 1 time
Riverfront/Cynergy Field- 1 time

Baseball doesn't miss any of those other than Comiskey if Bill Veeck would have had the money to keep it up over the years.

Old Busch, Metrodome, Mile Hile, 3 Rivers

The 2 in Minny
Milwaukee county stadium
Candlestick Park in SF
Old Busch in St Louis
Atlanta Fulton County stadium

Comiskey
The original Busch (I think that's at least 4 stadiums ago) and the concrete Busch in the concrete era where it was about 120 on the Astroturf.
Astrodome (not sure it's actually gone).
The downtown KC stadium where it was 110 with no astroturf help.


Time for edit after seeing Jack Murphy mentioned although I don't believe it was called that when I went.

I saw Bo Jackson in his rookie season play at County Stadium in Milwaukee and struck out 4 times.

2, Metrodome and Old Busch. If the downtown ballpark for KC comes to fruition, it'll be 3.

Fun thread! And man, does it bring back memories!

[VeloClone]

Metrodome and old Busch. I have only been to MLB games in Target Field since.

 

[JM4CY]

Side note, I feel like Minute Maid park or whatever it’s called now in Houston is underrated. That place was pretty cool.

 

[CyGuy5]

Metrodome and old Texas

You guys are old

Comiskey - first game. Saw Cal Ripken play there. Then saw him again at the new park after college.....and he hadn't missed a game

Also saw the Yankees throw a no hitter there and lose the game back in 1990

Old Yankee Stadium
Old Busch Stadium

Wrigley Field before the goddam Ricketts family destroyed the ballpark and Wrigleyville

Padres before Petco. Huge upgrade for SD

Rangers - wasn't in love with the stadium. It was bloody hot in the sun, but I believe it was replaced with a gas grill replica
