Yup, the parameters are sketchy.

And yes, Dodgers stadium is considered "a cathedral" of baseball.
Remember, the OG Yankee Stadium is gone, only the memories remain, and a new very expensive replica :)

In baseball, talk to any aficionado and three stadiums come to mind; Fenway, Wrigley and Dodger Stadium. Three jewels that are irreplaceable and incomparable.

It would have to be London, because nobody seems to share stadiums in that city, they all build there own (even if its down the road in the case of Chelsea and Fulham).

American and Australian cities cant compete because of the multiple tenants stadiums have due to government funding of stadiums (i personally think its a better use of resources and gets a better quality stadium). Melbourne, which may have the best sporting facilities, has 9 AFL teams sharing 2 stadiums with the cricket, soccer and rugby teams.

Rio de Janeiro has a lot of football stadiums, most are small and old, but quite charming.

Actually there is an old discussion on which city has the highest number of football clubs, Rio, Buenos Aires and London are the ones with the most, Buenos Aires wins if you count the whole metropolitan area I think.

I'll give my vote to Landshark Stadium (the stadium seems to change names every time i see a game there)

The Stadium is the home of NFL, NCAA, & MLB regular seasons, the Orange Bowl, NFL superbowls, BCS championships, next years NFL Pro Bowl game, 2 World Series', World Baseball Classic, ect.

I have probably watched more games on TV in this stadium than any other stadium.
