Dickie thats an impressive list man! I envy you! What was Jarry Park like? Was there anything good about Olympic Stadium? I've been to the park but never saw a game there but Id love Montreal to get baseball back

I went to Jarry when I was 5 or 6 years old ... a big reason why I grew up an Expos fan in Sox country (but in an area of Massachusetts where many Expos/Habs fans could be found because of a heavy French-Canadian and Acadian population).

Jarry never was meant to host the Expos as long as it did. It basically was a municipal park with a small grandstand around the home plate area, and they put huge sections of bleachers down the foul lines and in the outfield. There was a swimming pool beyond the outfield fence. I went back there in the early '90s to check the place out and had to shake my head in amazement that they once played MLB there for nine seasons. The grandstand still is there, part of the tennis stadium, and it looks like the pool still is there as well.

Jarry Park

Some pictures ... the first one of the tennis stadium gives you an idea of how it was configured for baseball.

The Big Uh-Oh wasn't the greatest place, but it was comfortable and I liked it. The problems were its location ... outside of the downtown area with no businesses really in the surrounding area, and the fact that it became indoors-only. Once the weather gets nice, the last thing Montreal people want to do is sit indoors and watch baseball.

It's a shame Loria and the city botched the deal for Labatt Park downtown. There is a groundswell, led by Warren Cromartie, to try to bring baseball back. The plot of land where Labatt would have been built has since been developed, so I'm not sure if it ever is realistic. Montreal fans took a lot of flak for their lack of support of the team in the later years, but they could only take being spit in the face so many times.

great stuff all around, particularly that second link

I fell in love with Montreal last year, I actually stayed in the Olympic Park neighborbhood from an Air B and B listing. Didn't know anything, but I can see what you mean by the celebration of summer there. I was so taken and impressed that even though its not exactly an endless summer, there is a huge priority on terraces and outdoor cafes. I can see very much what you mean by people wanting to celebrate the limited summer and not sit in the dome.

Olympic Stadium is fascinating to me though, seeing the concept of the retractable roof. I'd chalk it up as a huge "could have been".

I also tore into research last year about the downtown park. I agree its a shame, because its a first class city full of passionate people who I think would embrace baseball under the right terms. Jerking them around with firesales and playing half their year in Puerto Rico didn't exactly foster that passion.

Its too significant a metro area to not give it one more go there, but I suppose locating the park is the challenge.

[Nemesis]

Atlanta (Fulton County Stadium) (although I have taken the tour of Turner Field)
Boston (Fenway)
Cleveland (Jacobs Stadium)
Houston - Astrodome and Minute Maid
Miami (Joe Robbie)
Montreal (Olympic)
Oakland
Philadelphia (Veterans Stadium)
San Francisco (Candlestick)
St. Louis (Busch Stadium (II))
Tampa (Tropicana)
Toronto (Exhibition Stadium)

So, looks like 13 for me.........but my parents, who live in Jacksonville, FL have probably been to over 50 stadiums (yes, that's right....FIFTY). They have travelled with another couple every year for the past 20 years and choose to travel to an area of the country and see games in that part of the country. Usually fly into 1 city, see a game, and then rent a car and drive to a couple of other games while taking in the sights along the way. When a team builds a new stadium, they go back (which would explain the high number).

 

[The Commish]

My dad, brother and myself did trips over two years (89-90) to all the parks (including Canada) but I've only been to a handful of the "new" stadiums since that trip.

I've been to:

• Tiger Stadium/Comerica Park
• Yankee Stadium (old)
• Camden
• Atlanta Braves' park
• Cleveland's new(ish) stadium

Not a fish guy but the Mexican cantina looks good none the less. Awesome beer selection throughout the park. Weird sorta disjointed park, with almost no sightlines in the concourses but some cool aspects, this raging party section with tons of nice tail, and really well integrated into the gas lamp district

Yep. Odd park, but I liked it.

Location, location, location...... Big reason why it just makes my top 5. Being able to stumble out into the gaslamp is a big plus. Not a lot of places have that. Wrigley's one of them, Boston too. But the ######s are abundant in both surrounding neighborhoods. Seems to be mostly mellow people roaming SD.

 

[r0llin_game]

Going to Petco tonight, any recommendations on what to eat?

 

[Koya]

I was a bit disappointed in the carne asada tacos I had, though Im told the fish tacos are really good - wouldn't know myself as I don't eat fish.

TONS of places around the ballpark for before / after the game though.

 

[r0llin_game]

That seems like one of the really awesome things about petco, awesome food/adult beverage selection.

 

[dparker713]

That seems like one of the really awesome things about petco, awesome food/adult beverage selection.

Don't recall the food being that great, though they did have a nice beer selection. Best part about Petco is the location. Always a good day/night to watch a game there.

I was underwhelmed by the food and the layout of the stadiums concourses was very odd and took you away from the game far too much IMO. They did have this one select party section where it was like a bar / club. Tons of hot chicks and not many paying attention to the game ( upper section right field somewhere) but looked like a blast for non baseball reasons.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Went back to Camden Yards last night to see the Yanks and I'm putting this back up to number 2 on my list, ahead of Fenway and Behind Wrigley.

It was such a marvelous integration of an existing anchor like that warehouse and it was all just so perfect. The inner harbor is so easily accessible. You can't help but look at something relatively interesting in this park and every single choice was note perfect here. And then you get into tiebreakers and you think about stuff like the surrounding area, and its just amazing.

I really loved the adventure of going to Wrigley and the neighborhood feel when you are just taking the train through backyards and you get dropped off in a normal neighborhood and here is this ballpark. I hope they don't go too overboard with these proposed scoreboards. I feel like Fenway has been knocked down a peg with the french pastry that adorns that park now. That RF videoboard is hideous at Wrigley.

Go back there in August and get back to me. What a miserable experience. You haven't seen HUMID until you've seen Baltimore in August. By the 2nd inning, your t-shirt is soaked and is stuck to the back of your seat. Beautiful park, but it needs a retractable roof.
