Has anybody attended pro/college sporting events?

How was the stadium/arena set up and did you like it?

Which new or old arena/stadium did you like better that was used by the same team (For example the old Yankee Stadium vs the new Yankee Stadium, etc)

    I get free skybox tickets to watch the Falcons in the GA Dome twice a season.

    I get the same for the Braves and Hawks' game.

    Respect....how do you like the venues? The Georgia Dome and Phillips Arena layouts were cool and I could easily see the action and the scoreboards but I didn't like the lack of restaraunts within walking distance of Turner Field

    NFL: Bank of America Stadium (Panthers), GA Dome (Falcons), Mercedes Benz Dome (Saints). I go to BoA for 2 home games a year. Since I'm living in ATL, every time the Panthers play the Falcons, I'm in there. My parents live in South MS, so when I've been to the super dome a few times when the Saints played the Panthers.

    NBA: Smoothie King center (Pelicans), Time Warner Arena (Hornets), Phillips Arena (Falcons).

    MLB: Turner Field

    College: Dean Smith Center (UNC), Kenan Stadium (UNC), Humphrey Stadium(Miss State), Davis Wade Stadium (Miss State)

    BoA is cool. Can see from any seat in the house, and it's in the heart of uptown. With Lynx stations nearby, it's easy to get in and out. GA dome is cool, and their really accommodating to Panther fans (lol). Hope the new dome is as well. I like the layout and with a Marta station right by, I can easily hop on the Marta and get out of there. Really no complaints about any of the stadiums I've been too. With the Super Dome/Smoothie King Center, I liked that after the game I could easily hit up bourbon. I like that champions pavilion sht they got too. Plan is to hit up every NFL and MLB stadium as there's so much history at these stadiums. I wanna hit up both Oakland and Philly to talk trash with the locals lol

    Only US Cellular Field and the United Center. I would go to Wrigley Field but no point in watching a perennial loser team play

    New Amway that the Magic play in is probably the best NBA venue I've been in even over AAA and Staples.
    Levi Stadium is nice with really comfortable seats but could be better.
    United Center is worth going to for the MJ statue alone.
    Missed old Yankees stadium, but love the new one.
    Where the Dolphins and Chargers play... trash.
    I appreciated the old stadiums in Texas when I was kid, seeing Steve McNair play for the Oilers in preseason in the Astrodome and Rockets championship runs at the Summit.
    My alma maters stadium is small but when it's hopping it has these metal bleachers, so if everyone is jumping up and down the whole stadium bounces which is why they call it the Trampoline or Bounce House.

    My parents split when I was young, he spent the summers making it up to me and my brother going to different games living out of state in Texas, this after moving as a family from NY to South FL. I recently moved to Southern California and made some trips to Nor Cal to catch some 49ers games.

    I think I also got lucky I got to visit the same teams old and new stadiums/arenas.

    Also I usually make all my travel plans to include at least one visit to a sporting event if I can. ? now that I think about it I forgot few...

    Indianapolis Motorspeedway
    Lucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis Colts
    Solider Field - Chicago Bears
