Stadiums I've been to, teams I've seen play in person

While I'm not up there with His Royal Highness, Sir Slicker, who has probably been to close to a million games, I have been fortunate to visit quite a few stadiums and seen a few games along the way. Personally, I would love to see Slick's list of stadiums and teams because I'm sure there are a lot of teams and plenty of stadiums (even many that no longer exist). I'm sure that there are others who have done some travelling as well. I bet Penguin and BEAUFORTEAGLESFAN have a good list! If you send me a PM with your email address and I will gladly send you a copy of the spreadsheet to make it easier for you to compile your list (as long as you have Excel on your computer) and if you need help, I can show you how to post it if you have never done that.
My "current" count {when you get my age, remembering is not as easy as it used to be, so the current count is as current as my rememberer remembers this morning} is 93 teams I've seen play in person and 58 teams I've seen play at home. That leaves 112 that I have never seen in person from the current 201 teams listed in 1A to 5A.
It's not 58 stadiums, because I've seen Chapman, Greer, Gaffney and Dorman play at two different home fields. Spartanburg was at three "HOME" stadiums, two rentals at Wofford and now, finally at their own place which is awesome! Then you have to remember that Rock Hill and Northwestern share a stadium and Ridge View's Home Game was at Spring Valley, so the count would be 58+4 extra from Chapman, Greer, Gaffney and Dorman +2 from Spartanburg and then -2 since you can't count D3 for Rock Hill and Northwestern or Spring Valley's stadium where I saw Ridge View twice would be a total of 62 stadiums!
Then I did add four teams that I can remember that no longer play as that team, they have merged with another school(s). Parker, Jonesville, Lockhart and Walterboro.
I compiled the list, using the DOODLES FINAL REGION STANDINGS and marked the teams with one of three answers:
Yes - I've been to the stadium and seen them play
Play - I've seen them play but not at their house
No - I've never seen them play in person and therefore, candidates for a road trip!!!
