For quite a long time now, I've wanted to create an archive of all the stadiums, ballparks, arenas and whatnot I have been to. I still have yet to get my list together, but I have put up a bunch of the photos. It was fun going through all these, organizing them and getting them on to Flickr. I suppose it was a bit tedious, but remembering all those great times with friends made it more than worth it.

Two notable ballparks have been left off - Cinergy Field/Riverfront Stadium and Great American Ball Park. As you can imagine, I have quite a few photos of each park. I'm figuring out a way to organize them in and have them fit in the context in which the other stadiums have been posted. There's a lot to go through... but I should have at least Cinergy Field up soon.
One ballpark that made it, but was a bit slim on photos was Petco Park in San Diego. I had taken a ton of photos the night I was there, but most were lost in a hard drive crash last summer. Doh!
Two ballparks I can't believe I don't have photos of, or not more than a handful: Memorial Stadium in Ft Wayne - I've been there probably 5 times to see the Wizards. Also, Elfstrom Stadium, home of the Kane County Cougars. What the hell is my problem?
I'll be heading to a few more new (to me) ballparks this year - Yankee Stadium to see the Reds and Yankees play before they tear it down and probably Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, FL, where the Reds hold Spring Training. If I'm lucky, I might be able to get up north to the SkyDome in Toronto. What's it called now... Rogers Centre? Right. I still have aspirations to get to a Cardinals game in St. Louis and a Brewers game in Milwaukee. Who knows when those trips will come up. You know I'll post photos when they do.
Once my database of stadiums, etc. is up on the website, I'll let ya'll know.
