Next on my list: for sure Washington this fall on a late-season baseball trip, plus I might pick up Detroit's new park, Tampa, and perhaps Shea simply by being in the right place at the right time on non-baseball-related baseball. (Honestly, that's the ONLY way I'm ever picking up those three!)
Given what you have to say about Comiskey and Busch, your comments about Shea and RFK should be interesting. These are dumpy and poorly maintained (think peeling paint in the case of Shea and just old and out dated in the case of RFK - though, certainly serviceable in the short term). Granted, they do not compare with Wrigley and SBC, but I have found Busch (one of the last of the cookie cutters) and Comiskey (i.e., US Cellular, the last non-retro) to be among the cleaner, better maintained stadiums (although their fans still suck ) - and this is coming from a Cub fan.

BTW, the worst stadiums I've been to: Old Comiskey and Olympic in Montreal.
