MLB has Wrigley and Fenway, and Dodger Stadium, as venerable places that conjure up all kinds of good feelings in fans. The NBA doesn't have any place like that as far as I know-Boston Garden was probably the only one, and it's been gone for a while. The NFL has Lambeau Field and I believe that's it. I think that when fans' memories get attached to the stadiums themselves, not just to what happened in the stadiums, you develop a much deeper connection to the team. Wrigley and Fenway create a bridge across generations. We wouldn't care nearly as much about the Cubs and Red Sox's droughts if they had moved to concrete monoliths like the Reds, Pirates, and Phillies did.
