First: Long Beach Arena
Last: Staples Center
Best: Rose Bowl (while the parking situation really sucks, the seats are comfortable)
Worst: Long Beach Pyramid (Bitch these seats don't even have backs and are made of foam. Incredibly uncomfortable.) Old Anaheim Stadium was bad too.

Best: Safeco Field
Worst: Kingdome

First is probably whatever the Spokane Indians stadium was called in the early 90's, but I'm not sure so I just went with the arena I knew the name of. I really wanted to say Turner Field for best but really it was my favorite but the actual best is Safeco.

First: Cumberland County Civic Center (if we're counting major league venues, it was Fenway Park)
Last: Portland Expo (if we're counting major venues...I think it was TD Garden? It's been 3 or 4 years since I went to anything but minor league games. It was the first season where Brad Stevens got to Eastern Conference Finals so 2017?)
Best: Camden Yards (honorary mention to current Fenway)
Worst: Olympic Stadium in Montreal

First: Oakland Coliseum

Last: Talking Stick Resort Arena

Best: Fenway Park

Worst: State Farm Stadium

Mine comes with some caveats - my best leans toward sentimental and historical, the seats I had were comfortable enough but I’ve been to some nicer parks

Worst is because even though it is a nice building, I’ve had some awful experiences there

The last sporting event was a Suns game on January 3rd which was the answer for last but it hit me as I was explaining my rational for best and worst that I went to a late February Smackdown at Gila River Arena, where the Coyotes play - but didn’t count that for being wrestling and not the intended sport of the venue.

First: Old Boston Garden
Last: TD Garden for Boston Bruins
Best: Fenway Park has an aura that's really hard to replicate, especially the first time you've been there. I've been there for a few games and each time it was like walking into a historical location.
Worst: Foxboro Stadium was pretty brutal seat wise.

First Stadium: Veterans Stadium, 1988.
Last Stadium: Citizens Bank Park, 2018? I honestly don't remember which minor league parks I got to last year, probably PNC Park in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Best Stadium: Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Worst Stadium: Nationals Park. The Trop has air conditioning. Nationals Park had nothing interesting going on at all and it was July. If you add minor leagues, Skylands Park in Sussex, NJ.

Arenas aren't remarkable enough to make the list. I've never been inside a football only stadium.

This is sports only. If adding concerts, I have a different "Last".
