When I was younger, Fenway was always at the top. How could it not be? I was so attached to the Cubs, it made perfect sense to see our American League counterparts in a stadium that's just as beloved by it's fans as Wrigley. As I grew up though, number one would change fairly often. New stadiums were built and teams got better. I wanted to see World Series Champions or step inside the newest stadium as soon as I could, regardless of which team played there.
When I was 16 and Old Yankee Stadium was on it's final legs, I was uncharacteristically sad. Here was this legendary building that was home to one of the most successful baseball teams in the world, and I would never get to see it. Even before New Yankee Stadium opened, I knew I wanted to be a fan of a team like that, even if it was just for a few days.
Well, I got my chance.
