Worst Stadium your ever attended?

Submitted by Michigan Hocke… on
What has been the the worst stadium you have ever attended. My would be chase field. It's not in the greatest spot of Phoenix and the parking garage like most doesn't fit big cars. Plus the diamondbacks haven't been playing well of lately.

 onto the ice from the upper deck in Olympia as a kid.  Crazy steep and up-close. The upper deck sight lines were better than any of today's venues.

The Joe was built at the nadir of arena design in 1979 before The Palace of Auburn Hills ushered in a new era that improved seating greatly for luxury box owners and somewhat for upper deck attendees.

Olympia.  What a view from the upper deck!

The Joe. No overhang. Get out your binoculars.

The Palace. An improvement over the Joe, at least

The old Boston Gardens smelled like piss, had a ton of obstructed view seats and an inexplicable haze of smoke even after smoking was banned in the arena.

 

As a twist to the OP, I would say that Jerry World in Dallas is the Worst Stadium compared to expectations that I have been to.  It's like a giant concrete prison with no character at all and the stands are so far away from the field that you HAVE to watch the game on the giant TV.  The tailgating scene in the parking lot is unbearable given that the place is surrounded by a few miles of black asphalt.

Memorial Stadium before the refurbishing.   Basically Spartan Stadium with war memorials. Wind blown prarie straight from the pig and cow farms.  Students are (or were) miserable yuppies with no concept of good football at all.  Every person I met was a complete dick from the minute I set foot in that town.  Even then they thought Michigan was the biggest rivalry.  I just wanted to die there.

The Big O was pretty terrible, and I'm sure it's worse now. There could be an entire section here dedicated to mirth Canadian concrete domes. The SkyDome is a joyless tomb that has terrible sightlines for baseball in spots and BC is about the same but older.
