Stadiums Quiz

[Detritus]

I think I have posted this over at RPGHost once, and I just posted it in the GE&R Calendar thread, but here, we (well, you) can take the quiz:

The first two are pretty easy, to help you hit the ground running...

[Detritus]

No takers? I'll give you the first one -- it's Coors Field, in Denver, CO. :D

[Paulypalooza]

I recogized Coors field but figured the rest were baseball and moved on. I'm not a bseball fan.

[Detritus]

Yes, they are all baseball stadiums, hence "thediamondangle". :)

At least two of the remaining seven are also used for football, although one will be pretty tough to get. That'll be the hint for #8, that it's also a venue for pro football.

No taker here. <shrug> I could pick out Coors Field and the 'Stick, but that's about it.

Well, I think by the time that photo was taken in SF it was 3Com Park, but close enough.

Hints for the other stadiums:

#2 - One of the two most-frequently-visited stadiums for me, if you don't count the Chicago parks.

#3 - Is within weekend road-tripping distance from Chicago.

#4 - No longer exists. Take note also of the "subtle" lighting cues.

#5 - See clues for #2 and first part of #4. Even though you can't actually see the stadium, there is some relevant visual information in the background.

#7 - See clues for #3 and first part of #4.

#8 - Pulls double-duty as an NFL stadium.

#2 = Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome

#3 = Busch Stadium III

#4 = Houston Astrodome

#5 = County Stadium (Milwaukee, take note of the tailgaters)

#7 = Tigers Stadium

#8 = The Oakland Coliseum

#3, #5, and #8 were extra-hard. I'm a bit surprised no one recognized the Metrodome.
