Fourteen years ago, I picked up a copy of , a joint production of and Fodor's that contained seating maps, travel tips, and other info about each of the stadia and arenas for the four major North American sports leagues.

Well, other than the nostalgia factor--$17 could get you a box seat at Yankee Stadium in 1994, kids--I always appreciated how was able to condense a lot of information in a tiny amount of space.
