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 :-(

What stadiums have you been to that no longer exist?

 

[s1uggo72]

Connie Mack, Veterans, Memorial, Yankee Stadium, Fairfield, Riverfront.

 

[LionJim]

RFK still exists, unbelievable.

 

[Piketownman]

Connie Mack, the Vet many times and Memorial many times. Been to Fenway but it’s still going

Connie Mack died fifty years ago. If I may suggest this book, To Every Thing a Season: Shibe Park and Urban Philadelphia. It’s a sociology book at heart but a fascinating story.

 

[Metal Mike]

Forbes Field, Three Rivers, and Pitt Stadium.

 

[Lionville]

Connie Mack, Shea , Spectrum, old Yankee Stadium, the Vet.

 

[Roar More]

Forbes Field, Three Rivers, Pitt, Mountaineer Field, Riverfront, Baltimore Memorial, Archibald (the worst dump I've ever seen), Byrd, Veterans, Meadowlands, Foxboro, Orange Bowl, Tulane Stadium, Joe Robbie, Ryan Field.

 

[Nitt1300]

The Vet, Three Rivers, Yankee Stadium, and 55,000 seat Beaver Stadium

 

[LionsAndBears]

Veterans Stadium and that's it. It was in the mid 80s, I was in the upper level and I remember watching a guy throw a Cowboys fan down the steps. That's the last time I've ever been to an NFL game. I've never been to the Linc. While I love the Eagles, Go Birds, I prefer Saturdays in Happy Valley to Sundays in South Philly.

 

[s1uggo72]

Forbes Field, Three Rivers, Pitt, Mountaineer Field, Riverfront, Baltimore Memorial, Archibald (the worst dump I've ever seen), Byrd, Veterans, Meadowlands, Foxboro, Orange Bowl, Tulane Stadium, Joe Robbie, Ryan Field.

I am pretty sure Byrd is still there, expanded, with a name change.

 

[Bob78]

Connie Mack
Memorial (Baltimore)
Original Yankee Stadium
Shea
Veterans
Candlestick Park
Oakland - Alameda County Stadium (to be)
Foxboro
Original Meadowlands
Original Palmer Stadium (Princeton)

RFK - still standing, but somehow should count for a half credit or something!

 

[ODShowtime]

I saw the Stones at the Vet. Rush at the Spectrum, is that still sitting there?

Tropicana Fields days are numbered. Milton took off the roof and since they only have 2 years left no one wants to pay for the repairs.

 

[scocha409]

army/navy JFK. Vet. Meadowlands. Saw Rams at St Louis dome, not sure if still exists. Riverfront. Shea.
bball/hockey:
Montreal Forum. Seattle center coliseum. spectrum.

 

[LionJim]

“Pretty sure?” Byrd Stadium or whatever they call it now is still there.

 

[jp3272]

Tropicana Fields days are numbered. Milton took off the roof and since they only have 2 years left no one wants to pay for the repairs.

Both the Vet and the Spectrum are no longer existing.

 

[Ceasar]

Forbes Field, Three Rivers, Pitt, Mountaineer Field, Riverfront, Baltimore Memorial, Archibald (the worst dump I've ever seen), Byrd, Veterans, Meadowlands, Foxboro, Orange Bowl, Tulane Stadium, Joe Robbie, Ryan Field.

That iz an impressive list!

 

[kgilbert78]

Baseball: Cooper Stadium (AAA--Columbus), Connie Mack, the Vet, Riverfront, Three Rivers. While Anaheim Stadium is still there, the changers are such that it's almost a new stadium (I saw it in its football configuration, though it was a baseball game I went to). Add to that Pitt Stadium for football. Other sports--soccer--Rheinstadion in Duesseldorf, Bokelberg in Moenchengladbach, Muengersdorf in Cologne, Volkspark in Hamburg. Hockey--the Civic Arena, the Spectrum (also basketball), Philadelphia Convention Hall (Firebirds), Cherry Hill Arena (original Jersey Devils). The single A stadium where the Charlotte Rangers (FSL) played too.

Shibe Park, Philly.. A lonnnnng time ago.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Both the Vet and the Spectrum are no longer existing.

I forgot about The Spectrum. I once saw Bird and the Celtics torch the Sixers in a very smoke filled Spectrum. Much like the Vet, it wasn't esthetically pleasing to the eye.

 

[Psu00]

Veterans Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, Pitt Stadium, Memorial Stadium, Comiskey Park in Chicago, Foxboro Stadium, Meadowlands Stadium, Georgia Dome, Mile High Stadium, Tampa Stadium, the Spectrum, the Igloo, and the Orange Bowl.

 

[s1uggo72]

“Pretty sure?” Byrd Stadium or whatever they call it now is still there.

How about really sure. But brings up another, Cole field house

 

[retsio]

Shibe Park
Connie Mack
the Vet
Spectrum
JFK - Army/Navy game
Pitt - the old/old Pitt stadium for PSU
Old Yankee Stadium

That iz an impressive list!

Eh, I'm old. And I will add the Georgia Dome. And if Philly people want to count the Spectrum, I will counter with the Igloo.

They converted Cole into the indoor practice facility for football.

My list - Yankee, Shea, Vet, Spectrum, Three Rivers, Igloo, Memorial, Cap Centre, Trop (soon to be RIP, just currently ripped), Metrodome, Meadowlands, Globe Life (still standing, used for soccer).

Forbes Field, Three Rivers (both baseball and football), Pitt Stadium (48-14 and others), Pittsburgh Civic Arena (the Igloo), Veterans Stadium (both baseball and football when PSU beat Temple in 1978), Old Mountaineer Field, Old Yankee Stadium.

Also the Orange Bowl watching the Dolphins beat the OJ Simpson led Bills.

 

[NittPicker]

Orange Bowl, Three Rivers, Pitt.

I've also been to Rich Stadium (or whatever it's called now) but it'll be gone soon. I'll get back to this thread in a couple years.

 

[Train027]

Forbes Field
Pitt Stadium
Three Rivers
The Vet
Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium
Original Meadowsland

Repurposed. Cole was the greatest.

 

[PSU87]

Forbes Field, Three Rivers, Pitt, Mountaineer Field, Riverfront, Baltimore Memorial, Archibald (the worst dump I've ever seen), Byrd, Veterans, Meadowlands, Foxboro, Orange Bowl, Tulane Stadium, Joe Robbie, Ryan Field.

Isn't Joe Robbie Hard Rock Stadium now? Refurbished, but same Stadium?

For me...
Shea
Meadowlands
Orange Bowl
Spectrum
The Vet...I actually have a bolt from one of the seats at the Vet. My uncle (RIP) was a lifelong Philly sports fan, found it under his seat at one of the last Phillies games and gave it to me

 

[CDLionFL]

Isn't Joe Robbie Hard Rock Stadium now? Refurbished, but same Stadium?

Yep, same place. Once the Marlins got out of there, they could make it into a more intimate venue for football than the cavernous version they had when it was a dual-purpose stadium. If you had lower level seats for a football game there, the action seemed as far away as possible like watching a HS game on a field with a track ringing it.

 

[psuro]

The Vet
The Spectrum
JFK Stadium
Giants Stadium
The Orange Bowl
Wherever Louisville played before they moved to their current location ( I think it has been torn down)
Three Rivers Stafium

 

[Nits1989]

Chicago Stadium and Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo. Maple Leaf Gardens…the building is still there but has been repurposed and is not used by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Soon to be: Buffalo Bills Highmark Stadium.

Edit: sorry, got carried away. These are NHL arenas.

 

[SoCalLion]

MLB: Tiger Stadium, Oakland Coliseum*, Three Rivers Stadium, Turner Field*, Olympic Stadium in Montreal*

NFL: Pontiac Silverdome, RCA Dome (Colts), Mile High Stadium

CFB: Old Meadowlands for a Kickoff Classic, I saw a few Motor City Bowls at the Silverdome, Colorado State's Hughes Stadium (that one's pretty off the radar).

----

*Still exists, in one form or another, but currently doesn't house a MLB team.

 

[kgilbert78]

Dang, I forgot about the Silverdome, old Meadowlands, and Hoosier Dome. Saw PSU at the latter two--and the old Louisville stadium (Cardinal Stadium), which was also an AAA baseball stadium.
