Stadium Sentimentality

Why do people get so obsessed over stadiums? Why are they so beloved? It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense really. Just yesterday, Al Lang Field, a home for Spring Training, was closed down for the final time after the Rays lost to the Reds in their final spring training game of the season. What made it so sentimental? Why do people like retaining memories of stadiums? It’s just a stadium. The only thing that should matter there is how loud you can make it and how well your team does. The stadium itself should not mean a thing.
