A more recent example of that would be the Skydome. I am biased in that regard because I like the Skydome and see it as an integral piece of downtown Toronto, but as far as feel goes it is not a great baseball park and is a terrible football stadium. When it gets quiet in there it gets
really quiet. And even when it gets loud it doesnt seem so compared to better designed single-purpose stadia.
To me I see no uniqueness between RFK Stadium, the former Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Shea Stadium (except for it missing a side), Three Rivers Stadium, Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, Busch Memorial Stadium, etc. etc.
