I'd almost love for this to be a nominating thread and then we could have a poll where you could vote for 4 and we could see what wins.

Baseball: Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium
Football: Rose Bowl, Lambeau Field, ??
Basketball: Madison Square Garden, a couple of college venues maybe, ??
Motor Sports: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Daytona Speedway
Other Sports: Augusta National, Churchill Downs, Wembley Stadium, Wimbledon

My theory is that if this is "world", the venues have to have a use or cultural significance beyond being just the home field for one particular team in one particular league. So...

Roman Colosseum
Madison Square Garden
Wembley Stadium
Rose Bowl (doesn't really fit with the other 3 but I got stuck).

Looking outside the US. :D

A list:

- Wimbledon
- Wembley - the most famous stadium, in the world's sport
- Lord's Cricket Ground - the birthplace of cricket
- Monaco - F1

I have to think that MSG should pretty much be in the running for 1 or 1a on any list.

Vince, Pt. II 10-02-2012 04:35 PM

MSG wouldn't even make my list.
