The Kingdome in Seattle (now a parking lot) Fittisize posted the pic already. I've seen the Mariner's play the Blue Jays and the Padres. Both times the Mariners won, against my hopes.
Mile High Stadium in Denver (also now a parking lot)

I saw the Rockies play the Pirates there, and the Rockies lost, also against my hopes. Never got to see the Broncos.
<strike>Qualcomm Stadium</strike> in San Diego (formerly known as Jack Murphy Stadium, and soon to be a parking lot)

I've seen the Padres play the Braves (when the Pads lost) and the Chargers play the Seahawks (which the Chargers lost). In the Charger-Chicken game, it was Mike Riley's last game coaching the Bolts and also my only football game.
Coors Field in Denver. Been there a whole lot of times, and I think once or twice the team I wanted to win did. Yay.
Candlestick Park (which will not be called by it's corporate name)

I don't remember being here, but my dad swears he took me to a Chargers-49ers game when I was like 3 months old. It was a pre-season game and they both scored like 45 points. The highlight of my night was staring at all the bugs in the stadium lights.
I though of a couple more dinky little local places...
Sky Sox Stadium, Colorado Springs

This is the stadium for the Rockies' AAA team. It's kinda funny now, all that green grass you see in the background is houses now.
World Arena, Colorado Springs

This is where the Colorado College Tigers play, and I think there is some minor hockey team called the GoldKings that used to play here. I don't know if they still do.
Spokane Arena - Spokane Washington

I posted 2 because the first is better picture, but I wanted the one with the Spokane Chiefs hat to say "NYAH!" to Fittisize. :) This is an awesome little arena and is full of fond memories. Except for the sporting events. Those were lame. I saw the Chiefs play here once, and all they did the whole game was fight. It was really boring, and made my parents think hockey was a bad sport. A very bad representation of the game. However, I also watched numerous concerts there, including the BEST CONCERT EVER: dc Talk's "Welcome to the Freakshow" on Mother's Day 1996 (May 13, I think). Toby called his mom on his cell and had everyone yell things at her answering machine. It was cool. It also was the venue for the 2nd best concert ever, the Newsboys "Take Me To You Leader" tour (around November 7 1996) and my first concert ever, Michael W. Smith "I'll Lead You Home" in March of 1996. A good year for concerts, certainly.
I tried to find some pictures of where I played baseball and football growing up, but was not successfull. Um, I guess that's all the real stadiums I can think of. There are plenty more little places like the Spokane Arena, but I don't want to search anymore.
[edit]Sorry for not doing the images right. I had about a minute to get this up before my class staarted, so I didn't think too much.[/edit]
