Welcome! I have always been an extremely avid sports fan. Along with that, I am fascinated by sports stadiums and we’re not just talking about ballparks, but arenas too. Not only do I love visiting the buildings themselves and admiring the architecture, design and unique touches to each one, but the other part that I really enjoy is being a brief part of each team’s culture. It’s great to visit a different town or city and experience what makes them unique and special.

On this site, you’ll find a list of all the stadiums and arenas in the US and Canada. I started this list over a decade ago and it took me about 3 years to complete. Once a month, I go back and update it based on which league is resuming their season. Basically, it is all the professional, minor and college facilities in the country and some in Canada (currently over 1400). I had to put some sort of cap on the seating capacities, because I didn’t want to be listing fields that were just a stand of bleachers. So minimum capacities for ballparks and arenas are 3,500 while stadiums are 8,000. You will see some high schools along with other amateur teams. Facilities that are inactive aren’t on the list. Please help me out and send me an email (seanmrowland@gmail.com) if you see any mistakes or something I may have missed. Also, if you use the file, please use my credit or permission. Thank you!

I try to visit a new stadium on the list once a month. Sometimes, that gets adjusted with vacations or work. Usually my very supporting wife accompanies me on most visits. She only really enjoys the side trips and the distracting part of the sporting events, but I am very grateful she joins along. In most of my writings where I say ‘we’, she is generally the other part of that (except in the early years). The list of visits is under the reviews section, which as the name implies has a review. The Stadium Reviews are off to your right and because I have these already written in Microsoft Word, they are simply copied and pasted into the text (it would have taken forever to re-write them). If you can not completely read the image simply right click to view image. Also with the reviews, I’m not the most refined writer (math and science is more my thing), but hopefully you will still find them interesting to read. I got a digital camera in March of 2004, starting with #25 Copps Coliseum.

Personally, I live in Northwest New Jersey and am living my lifelong dream as a meteorologist. I am originally from Rochester, NY and enjoy going back home to Upstate NY. Obviously, I am a die-hard Bills, Sabres and Syracuse Orange(men) fan. I would have to say that College Basketball is my favorite sport with the NFL just beating out the NHL (probably #2 and #2a). So, if you are at a game and see a tall, very lanky guy walking around with a notepad and camera, make sure to say hello!
