The NCAA’s new rule that forbids college games prior to February 22 forced me to get a late start (in past years, I’ve started attending games at the end of January or in early February), but I still attended games in 53 parks in 2008.
Here’s the list. For your information, the year the stadium opened (if known) is shown in parentheses. If there’s an asterisk, that means it’s my first time attending a baseball game in this park.
