Prior to the entry of the Colorado franchise what team's stadium was at the highest elevation?

Which has since been surpassed by the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium by a matter of a few feet (fifty or so?) as well so it is now third.

Yes, I knew that, since my office is located about 10 blocks away.

Well, I can't claim to be 10 blocks away from the Ted but I do drive right by it once a week on my way to one of my jobs!

This is also the 11th anniversary of the only game I saw in Atlanta....

The remains of Fulton County Stadium were still sitting nearby waiting to be hauled off. It looked like a roller coaster....

The outline and a little piece of the old launching pad still remains in the parking lot of the Ted.

well, let me see how many I get wrong.I rarely do anyplace nearly as well with MAC's questions than the otherway round.....

1 - Amazing how many teams are on the coast or directly on llarge rivers. I assume I cant refer to a AAA team.

I will go with Twin Cities and Twins.

I see I am wrong. I was guessing that the vast distance from the ocean both by the Mississippi systems and Great Lake Systems would mean higher there than in Atlanta.

Good for LB on his QoD. A year before I began to lurk seriously here.
