I think this pic is from Alameda... I'm on the left.
A woman after my own heart! That's one of my favorite things about traveling to the west coast, all the beers that we don't get here in NC.
Ever been to Toronado's in SF?

That looks like the old NAS Alameda. I've never heard of Tornado's. But I am up to try it when you com back and as I said I will buy you a beer.
Pretty cool picture!
Hopefully I'll make it back out that way next year to do some diving at the Chevron Refinery up in Richmond. Probably won't find out if we got that job for another couple months.- NCSU

I have been to all the major league parks except for the new Yankee stadium and Safeco.
Chicago has a nice stadium (US Cellular Field) and a dump that everyone seems to like (Wrigley). Milwaukee's Miller Park is nice, and the new Target Field in Minnesota is fantastic.
I grew up going to White Sox games, so I am biased towards The Cell as they call it. Fun fact, the White Sox were the first team in MLB to have an 'exploding scoreboard' when Bill Veeck had one installed at Old Comiskey. Also, the Cell has some of the best sight lines in all of baseball. No matter what seat you are in, you can generally see 95% of the field (excluding seats in left and right center field more than halfway up due to the batter's eye).
The Bernie Brewer slide in Milwaukee is also very unique. Miller Park has a few problems with sight lines. Its like they built it to have limited sight like some of the older parks (Fenway, Wrigley, etc). Miller Park has by far the best tailgating experience in all of baseball. If there is anything Wisconsin is known for its beer and brats.
And I guess, if you like Ivy and getting wasted, there are some positive elements to Wrigley.
Minnesota's Target field is definitely state of the art. It'll be interesting to see how many snow delayed games they get up there.
