Thought this may be an interesting thread, anyway, just post whatever stadiums you've been at, passing by stadiums don't count, for example, I've been on a bus passing by the Britannia Stadium, a car passing Thomand Park(many times) and a tube passing Wembley a few times but they don't count.

Ireland:
Croke Park
Aviva Stadium(then known as Lansdowne Road)
Pearse Stadium
Terryland Park
Showgrounds(Sligo Rovers)
Galway Sportsgrounds
Corinthian Park

The last four are all less than 10,000 seats

England:
White Hart Lane
Reebok Stadium(outside)
Anfield
Old Trafford

Spain:
Nou Camp
Barcelona Olympic Stadium

13, not bad, but I may be forgetting some.:)
 
Been to a few:
The wonderful St James' Park, Newcastle:

Envying you over the pond Blitz, you've been to the stadia of both of the US teams I follow; NY Jets and the Blue Jays.

EDIT: Honestly, I'd love to go to America for a few weeks and hop around different baseball games; maybe follow the Jays on a road trip. I love the retro/throwback and downtown ballparks most of all. Visiting some of those would be just awesome.

Tom, as much as they are the only team from there in the MLB, they are still in Canada, those Blue Jays :dopey:

I've never been to a game outside of the US though. I toured both stadiums.
 
An honorary mention here, I was born in Watford General Hospital, all of (according to Google Maps) 0.2 miles from Vicarage Road, and if I recall correctly from their season in the premier league, the hospital was visible on the cameras during matches.:lol:

I've only been to three: Reliant Stadium, the Toyota Center, and Robertson Stadium. I had been to a college game at Reliant Stadium as well as for my Associate's in the Arts graduation ceremony. I've been to Toyota Center to see the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund Game. I saw the University of Houston play against Southern University in a football game at Robertson Stadium.

I'm not really a baseball fan, so I can't say I've been to Minute Maid Park. I don't mind association football. I'd love to visit or see a Dynamo game at BBVA Compass Stadium.
