Spin-off, Show us your cities Sports Venues

Cashville · August 11th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Spin-off from the pro sports stadium thread since only a few cities are really in contention. Pro, college, Motor Speedways, Horse Tracks, whatever.

Completed and under construction only (sorry Birmingham your Dome doesnt count). I wont make it a poll, so just pimp your stadiums and provide a little info about them.

For those that want to talk about every city in their state (SRG) try to devote each post to one city.
