What MLB/NFL and CFB stadiums have you been to that no longer exist?

For me: Georgia Dome, Memorial Stadium, Municipal Stadium, Pitt Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, Veterans Stadium, and Yankees Stadium.

I wish I had made it to Tigers Stadium and Shea Stadium having watched so many games on TV on WOR. No one took me to Forbes Field :-(

For me:
Connie Mack Stadium. Veterans Stadium, The Spectrum, JFK Stadium, PITT Stadium (campus), and The Old Atlanta Braves Stadium (Fulton County)
Can't recall if Charlotte Hornets (NBA), or whatever they are named are still where the franchise started? I attended a game in their inaugural season.

Memorial Stadium in CLE for both football and baseball, Richfield Collisium for basketball and hockey in CLE

Busch in St. Louis for baseball

Riverfront in Cincy for baseball

Veterans Stadium in Philly for baseball

Pitt stadium football

These are in your photo but are still around, correct? Wrigley, Fenway, Dodger. One going away is Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. I've been to all of these.

My little league team was playing a weekend series in NYC in the summer of 1973. On Sunday we went to the Braves game at Shea. I saw Hammering Hank hit #s 695 and 696. The center fielder for the Mets that day was none other than Willie Mays. But my favorite of the old ballparks was Tiger Stadium. The seats were so close to the field you could hear the players talking. Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb played there. I took a great picture of Cal Ripken waving to me as they warmed up between games of a doubleheader. The last time I was there I reached down and scooped up a cup of the warning track, sunflower seeds and all. I still have it in a glass container in my display case.

Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Saw a game there, Indians vs. Oakland A’s, with crowd of 2,600 in a stadium that seated over 80,000.

Wow! Hank Aaron and Willie Mays in the same game.
I saw both at Connie Mack but not in the same game.

Does UM Cole Field House count? It's still there but it's been renovated with a name change and no more basketball.

Memorial in Baltimore
Pitt’s old stadium
Tho old Yankee Stadium
Cleveland’s old baseball park

Veteran's Stadium
Three River Stadium (where I witnessed Tim McCarver hit a grand slam on 7/4/76, and get called out for passing the runner (Garry Maddox). I think he was credited with a single and 3 RBI's.)
Old Yankee Stadium
Old Tiger Stadium
Candlestick Park (night game, took a redeye back to MI to watch ND at UM the next day.... painful).

Been to Fenway several times. Watched Jack Morris and Rodger Clemmons pitch. Warned all the Sox fans about a guy named Alan Trammel who lit it up.
