#7) Olympic Stadium (Montreal Expos, 2002)

Ugly ballpark, ugly "retractable" dome, lousy food. Little to no merchandise available. The only reason we chose to go to Montreal was that we knew the team would be gone very soon.

If D.C. is on your list, I'd go within the next three seasons, while the Nationals are still playing at R.F.K. They finally fixed the opening-day food kinks (guys sitting around me definately missed 5+ innings waiting for a hot dog), and as long as the Secret Service isn't there, it's usually not too bad to get in or out of the stadium.

Granted, it's an incredibly boring field layout, and moving down is pretty tough, but there are no obstructed views and even the upper level seats are pretty good. I'd definately take in a game there before the new stadium opens (if it opens at all, given the D.C. City Council).

P.S. - seats are pretty cheap (although I did pay an arm and a leg for opening day tickets). Seven bucks (USD) for outfield upper level, something like $8 or 9 for infield. Better seats aren't that much more expensive and are usually available.
