The Seattle SuperSonics played in the Kingdome, and later in the Tacoma Dome while KeyArena was being redone. The Sonics played playoff games at Hec Edmundson Pavilion on the University of Washington campus (capacity 9,000). Speaking of Seattle, can't forget the one year of the Seattle Pilots (1969) playing in Sick's Stadium.

One thing you missed about those 2 Hawks seasons at the Georgia Dome was they also played about 25 games at Alexander Memorial Coliseum at Georgia Tech, with a capacity of only 9k at that time.

With that Atlanta Hawks situation… I believe one game (in 98 vs the Bulls) drew over 60,000 fans at the Georgia Dome.

I'd say the trop hosting the 1999 final four was weird, the Sonics playing in the tacoma dome for a year. The new orleans jazz playing in the superdome, the Phoenix suns old arena that had a ceiling that made it look like an office. And I think my favorite is the Sacramento kings playing in Arco Arena 1, a temporary 10k seat arena.

The Trop hosting anything can be weird. The Royal Rumble looked off because of the outfield. Even though it was the announced record for the building and unlike some announced wrestling attendances I believe it.

The Baseball scenes in Major League 2 were filmed at both Baltimore ballparks, the home scenes for the Indians were at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and their road games were at Memorial Stadium which was home of their AA affiliate Bowie Baysox in 1993 while their stadium was being built down there.

I was at the Miller Park game. It was $10 tickets for any seat. I was 4 rows off the field for that game Nobody was really interested in the game, but the crowd had fun with the wave and other stuff. It was fun to see other teams playing. There was a sign a fan brought that said What is the DH and what does it mean? The upper deck was closed off because they didn't expect to sell out the ballpark. My buddy who we were managers for Westen Illinois University with was working for U of I football that year. He said on Sunday they were at the office and the office overlooked the field. He was able to sit at his desk and watch the Bears play.

June 25, 2010: Citizens Bank Park hosted the first regular-season game in a National League stadium in which the designated hitter was used; Major League Baseball moved the Phillies' series against the Toronto Blue Jays from Rogers Centre to Philadelphia, citing security concerns for the G-20 Summit. Ryan Howard served as the first DH in a National League ballpark. Despite playing in their park, Philadelphia was designated as the road team.

The Yankees called Shea Stadium their home in 1974-1975 while Yankee Stadium was being renovated. And in 1998 the Yankees played one game in Shea after a piece of concrete fell from the Yankee Stadium upper deck. In that game Darryl Strawberry drilled a home run in his return to his former home park.

Wrigley in LA was named after William Wrigley. He owned the stadium and the PCL Angels. The designer of this stadium also did Wrigley and Comiskey in Chicago. (Wrigley was originally known as Weeghman Park until 1920 and then CUbs Park until 1926) The LA one was built after Weeghman, modeled after it.

You left out the Astros being forced to play "home" games against the Cubs in Miller Park due to Hurricane Ike. They got no hit in front of Cubs fans since the players had other things on their minds, like leaving their families in a hurricane zone. Also having to play the Rangers at "home" in Tropicana field since the Rangers wouldn't switch home dates of 2 series to accommodate the Astros during Hurricane Harvey.

The Louisiana Superdome was used by the New Orleans Jazz for a couple of years before they bolted to Utah. A local shoe chain, ShoeTown, offered incredibly cheap upper deck tickets. LSU would schedule games just to break NCAA attendance records in the Dome. I think we did it against Notre Dame in the mid-‘80s. LSU also was in the 1981 NCAA SE Regional in New Orleans at the Dome, and LSU students made the upper deck a football game, including the band being there.

9:12 The Titans played the 1997 in Memphis after relocating from Houston and that went over about as well as a lead balloon. The original plan was to play two seasons in Memphis, but the Titans were beset by poor attendance, hence the move to Vanderbilt. Even to this day, the Titans don't seem to have much of a fanbase in Memphis or West Tennessee compared to the rest of the state.

And Oakland is still paying for Mt. Davis 15 plus years on, the interest on the original bonds keeps growing and they are only making the very minimal payments, and now they have no revenue to cover them. Exactly why Cities should stay out of the stadium business. They gave Al Davis a free hand out with that.
