I was thinking about this the other day. I've been to a ton of sporting events, but not many venues. Just thought if you would like, make a list of venues and a review if it's one that isn't around an area some of us would frequent.
1. Old Chicago Stadium - Shithole. That's all I can say about that place 2. United Center 3. Wrigley Field 4. US Cellular Field 5. Miller Park (Brewers 6. Market Square 7. Hoosier Dome/RCA Dome 8. Conseco/Bankers Life Fieldhouse 9. Lucus Oil Stadium 10. Soldier Field 11. Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay) - Hated it in 02, but now all stadiums are like this. 12. Nationwide Arena (Columbus, Ohio) 13. Indianapolis Motor Speedway 14. Indianapolis Raceway Park 15. Assembly Hall 16. Mackey Arena 17. Jacobs Field 18. Memorial Stadium (IU Football Field) 19. Ros-Ade Stadium (Purdue) 20. A ton of Minor League hockey Arenas that no one cares about 21. Cameron Indoor Stadium (Duke) I'm sure 90% of you could careless, but some of you might actually have some interest in this. |

Positive. Tropicana Field where the Devil Rays play. Went there for opening day of baseball season in 2002. Could have sat anywhere we wanted. I'm not a fan of these modern day baseball stadiums and that's exactly what that is. It was to futuristic for me, along with no type of energy on an opening day.
I can add 3 to my list from looking at yours. 21. ND Stadium (post renovation) 22. Joyce Center (ND) 23. Hinkle Fieldhouse (As a coach, not a fan) |

I can't believe this is an actual thread, FFS guys. Is the board trolling me again?

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

I guess you could start a thread on how many moped shops have we visited, or how many slanty eyed children have we taught. I just don't think you will get much of a response. Yes, you call that thing that you rode between your legs a motorcycle, but all of us refer to it as a moped.
Impressive list by both DH and DJ. I wish I knew more about soccer, but I could pick out a few of them. Be curious to see BDH's as well as UB's. |

Around these parts, mopeds are used for people without a license. Since my driving record is outstanding, I prefer 4 wheels and a roof. I'm sure if my mid life crisis takes me directly to a Yamaha 50 CC moped, my wife would allow me to purchase one.

Blonde, we get it, you don't like sports. Personal preference man. You really are a very disrespectful person most of the time. Do you EVER say to yourself "I may not understand that, but that's OK because people are different and some people understand the world differently than others?" Some people believe in God. Some people are smarter than you. Some are luckier. Some people like sports. Get over it.

Do you ever say to yourself "Maybe the reason Blonde calls us sportz fagz all the time in the sports thread is because he's attempting to troll us?"

Can we just change this thread to "big buildings you may or may not have visited"?

No, because that would defeat the whole purpose of keeping you and Blonde out of the thread. I see that didn't work well.

I would like to add the Tokyo Dome to the list where I saw the Yomiuri Giants defeat the Hiroshima Carp.

1. Assembly Hall Bloomington, IN - Still to this day the loudest venue I've ever been to
2. RCA Dome Indianapolis, IN - Went for a Colts/Steelers Monday night game I think in 06'. Would definitely rank second to Assembly on noise. 3. Lucas Oil Field Indianapolis, IN - Fantastic modern stadium 4. Wrigley Field Chicago, IL - Nostalgia, is there anything better? 5. Ross Aide Stadium West Lafayette, IN - I hate Purdue and I hate their stadium 6. Mackey Arena West Lafayette, IN - Great place to watch a basketball game, literally not one bad seat in there. Especially when the Hoosiers win by 30. 7. Memorial Stadium Bloomington, IN - With the new upgrades this is a great football stadium 8. U.S. Cellular Field Chicago, IL - Modern baseball park but in the ghetto 9. Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Ft. Wayne, IN - Go Komets! 10. Bankers Life Fieldhouse Indianapolis, IN - Great modern place for basketball 11. Hinkle Fieldhouse Indianapolis, IN - The Wrigley Field of college basketball. Highly reccomended! 12. Estadio Olimpico San Pedro Sula, Honduras - Complete dump, but man are they passionate about futbol 13. Rangers Ballpark Arlington, TX - Modern ballpark, sat in one of the corporate suites in the outfield. Interesting they double as everyday work offices. I'm sure those jobs are in high demand where you can watch baseball and work at the sametime. 14. Joyce Center South Bend, IN - Watched the Hoosiers knock of the Irish in 04' I think. Great place to watch a basketball game and the student section of ND is pretty unbelieveable. 15. Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Vroom Vroom Party Starter 16. Crooked Stick GC Carmel, IN - PGA was awesome there 17. Dudley Field (Vanderbilt) Nashville, TN - I saw DMB there, does that count? 18. Ryan Field Evanston, IL - Horrible, the whole campus of Northwestern is horrible 19. Great American Ballpark Cinncinati, OH - Awesome place to watch baseball Concert Venues: 1. Deer Creek Noblesville, IN - Still my favorite 2. Alpine Valley East Troy, WI - Huge and fun, nothing else like it 3. Riverbend Ampitheatre Cinncinati, OH - Small and intimate but overall a poor exerpience 4. First Midwest Bank Ampitheatre Tinley Park, IL - Horrible ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE place to watch a show 5. Cruzan Ampitheatre West Plam Beach, FLA - Decent place not great, too hot in the summer 6. Toyota Park Bridgeview, IL - Soccer stadium doubles as a pretty kickass place to watch a concert |

Toured Twickenham rugby stadium a few weeks back.
Rugby fans are wankers that think football fans are scum, they talk about how friendly they all are and how football fans need segregating. |
