Guess the Stadium

Another one!

So, here are the simple and easy rules. Please don't post a stadium that has less than 25,000 seats. However, if it is an important stadium for reasons other than capacity, and holds less than 25,000, it can be posted.

Please remember to post credit along with the picture, unless you took it yourself. Also, try to include seating capacity.

Please try to post a picture that gives an adequate view of the stadium (if you only post one picture). If you post multiple photos, then the former sentence does not apply. Simply try to give a good view of the structure.

You do not have to name the exact name of the stadium, though we would all probably find it more interesting. The ways you can guess an answer are as follows:

Name of stadium
Name of the team, or entity, that plays there.

Any stadium of any sport is fair game. Just try not to make it too obscure.

I know it is pretty difficult to find a picture of a stadium that does not have a team logo in it. If you can't find one, just do your best to cover up the logo.

The most important rule is of course, have fun, and have good constructive/informative discussions. Info about expansions on the stadiums are more than welcome. Interesting facts are also welcomed. But, please try to avoid controversial comments.

no shots under 25k means you eliminate all the arenas and cool minor league baseball stadiums?

If you personally believe that a stadium that has less than 25,000 seats is well known enough to put on here, then you can put it on here. I'm just trying to keep people from putting random, little known stadiums on here.

I didn't think about arenas. If you can find a picture of an arena that doesn't absolutely give it away, lol, you can put it up.

it counts as an "important stadium under 25k"... apparently it is pretty important and recognizable if someone from Arizona was able to guess it so quickly ... now provide your submission

Whoops - I shouldn't have quoted the message, because now I saw the link! Will you trust me that I was going to make the right guess anyway? (The huge foul grounds and the apartment buildings in the back gave it away for me.)
