three parks, one city

[riverfrontier]

I'm seriously doubting this, but, by chance, would any person on this board have ever seen a game in three different home parks for the same franchise? Or maybe anybody's dad, or granddad? If yes to any, wow. If you can share the details, I'd love to hear it. My grandfather, who died last year, (barely) saw Crosley, Riverfront, and Great American. He was a Cubs fan, but he had lots of relatives in southern Michigan and eastern Indiana, so by default...Reds games. For the record, he loved Riverfront Stadium. This was '85 and 86. He was forever a Cub fan, but he would actually talk about how much better it was than either of the parks in Chicago. I was with him only for the Reds games in Riverfront. Many in Wrigley, Comiskey, and Tiger Stadium, but never Crosley or Great American. Anyway, what he said about Riverfront made sense at the time. Big aisles, bigger concourses, a sense of space. We always sat in the blue seats when grandpa was going to the game, so I can see why he liked it so much. He never sat in the upper deck. Anyway, this is a list of teams that may have some takers. If you actually know somebody, aside from a player, who saw the Dodgers in Brooklyn AND the Coliseum, A's in Philadelphia, the Braves in Boston, or the Orioles in St. Louis, sorry for the exclusion.
Phillies
Expos/Nationals
Braves
Cardinals
Astros
Reds
Pirates
Giants
Pilots/Mariners

My dad has been to Crosley Field, Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field, and Great American Ball Park though I'm too young to have possibly seen Crosley Field be destroyed.

I forgot that I could also include my grandparents.

Certainly someone could have seen
Angels' Wrigley, Chavez Ravine, Anaheim and Angel Stadiums
Senators/Rangers RFK, Arlington Stadium and Ballpark in Arlington
Phils Connie Mack, Veterans and Citizens
Pirates Forbes, 3 Rivers and PNC
Expos/Nationals Jarry, Olympic, Bithorn :D and RFK

How about Busch Stadium I, Busch Stadium II, and Busch Stadium III.

How about Busch Stadium I, Busch Stadium II, and Busch Stadium III.

was lucky enough to have been in all three parks...as with Reds three parks.

I hated riverfront..just a bad cookie cutter stadium from that era..although
many REDS fans love it....I was happy to see it gone...as with Atlanta's
fulton....another cookie cutter..and I'll be happy to see the current home
of the TWINS, the metrodome, go the way of all flesh, as well..

sad to see Tiger stadium die....when you're o-l-d- you had the chance to
sift thru a lot of baseball history, well, at the time, it was current...

I remember seeing Roger Maris...in a KC uniform.....wow....being born in 1947,
does have some perks...I guess....

Old Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium (74-75) Present Yankee Stadium.... does that count :)

[The Real McCoy]

I saw the Dodgers in Ebbets Field, Roosevelt Stadium (Jersey City) 1956, the Coliseum 1961 and Chavez Ravine 1966.

[Seattle1]

How about Sick's Stadium to see the Seattle Pilots play their only season, the Kingdome, and Safeco.

I've seen games in Cincinnati at Crosley, Riverfront and GABP.
I saw 3 games at Crosley, too many to count at Riverfront and 1 at GABP.

Old Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium (74-75) Present Yankee Stadium.... does that count :)
I would say that this one counts.

BTW,great thread here.I like this topic.:clapping

Unfortuantely,I can't contribute here since I'm not old enough to have seen the White Sox play at the old 39th Street Grounds prior to the 1910 opening of Comiskey Park.:laugh

I'm sure relatives on my dad's side have been to Polo Grounds, Ebbet's Field, and Yankee Stadium. My dad probably went to Yankee Stadium before they re-modeled it in the 70's. So he's been to both Yankee Stadiums and Shea.

My father has seen the Indians play at League Park, Cleveland Municipal Stadium and Jacobs Field. The Tribe used both League Park and the C.M.S. between 1934 and 1946, playing weekend & night games at Cleveland Stadium with any-all other games at League Park.
