The concrete toilet bowls that were in Phila, Pitts and Cincinnati. I went to a game at Veteran in Phila and it was a dump and the worst atmosphere ever.

Veteran's was awful enough but even worse was that it replaced Connie Mack stadium (a/k/a Shibe Park) which was one of the best baseball parks ever built before it was allowed to deteriorate, the first victim in the multipurpose park crapola which took hold of the era. And, of course, Philadelphia had to be on the leading edge of that abject stupidity.

Not that all the old parks were great. The old Polo Grounds in New York should have been retired decades before it finally was. No knock on the great Willie Mays and his legendary catch of that Vic Wertz blast in the 1954 World Series, but had they been playing in any semi-normal ballpark, Willie would have had to have been deep in the centerfield bleachers to even have a shot at that catch.

And, yeah, we actually cheered in Pittsburgh when they dynamited Three Rivers Stadium. PNC Park has been the best thing that has happened to Pittsburgh baseball since Willie Stargell retired.

Your comment reminded me of my one and only visit to Martin Stadium in Pullman,(WSU),Washington. Went there to watch the Huskies play the Cougs in during the snowbowl (2-3 foot of snow fell that day). Anyway I made a trip to the can which was located under the wooden bleachers and you could literally stand at the urinal and look out through the slats in the wood, through the peoples feet and continue to watch the game...

Tropicana Field in St. Pete Florida isn’t so great,either.

The parking sucks and it’s in a bad area.
