ESPN Page 2 - Caple: America's 100 most important sports venues

A list of some great venues in sports.

Just where everyone has been, I have quite a few more to visit, but did get 14 of the top 50 so far.

How bizarre ... no Kinnick on the list.

I WILL run the Boston marathon in my life!

**AIT** · 09-19-2008, 01:33 PM

I've been to 11 on the entire list. Guess I've got work to do. I've at least driven past several others.

How many more minutes until a Cub fan complains that Wrigley is not in the top 5?!?! Over/Under is set at 2 1/2

2. Camden Yards
4. The Astrodome - 1985 Astros Playoff Run
5. Augusta National - 3 masters
13. Wrigley Field
15. US Olympic Training Center
20. Daytona International Speedway
23. Soldier Field
28. Shea Stadium - brother's MLB debut

36. Pro Football Hall of Fame
41. Mall of America - ?????
47. Busch Stadium
51. Rosenblatt Stadium
53. Dodgertown - Shame they are leaving
57. TPC Sawgrass - only missed one TPC from 1981 to 1999, played it many times
58. Cameron Indoor Stadium - for a camp, not a game
65. Raymond James Stadium - had a beer on the pirate ship
74. Field of Dreams
77. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium - my home town

I was hoping to get to 1. Yankee Stadium before it closed but plans fell through.

Plans in the near future for
14. Churchill Downs
and
18. Notre Dame Stadium

There are others I have been 'to' but not in so I didn't count them. The rest will just have to go on the list... Didn't count Ceasers since I haven't been to an event there.

There was a tie for 27 and then Shea was listed at 28. I think that should have been 29.

**CTAClone** · 09-19-2008, 02:04 PM

I stopped reading when I saw Yankee Stadium at the top of the list and Wrigley Field at No. 13.

Lists are like statistics.
