Home to the AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox (the Pawtucket Red Sox or “PawSox”) is McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Leo Caisse says

It looks like the photo was taken during a game since the parking lots are full and the exposed bleachers on the third-base side appear to be full.

This 15,000 sq. ft. island is the floating green of hole 14 at the Coeur d’Alene Resort’s golf course in Idaho. The island is automatically moved daily so the distance to the pin varies between 100-175 yards (it’s always a par 3 though).

Home of the Seattle Mariners baseball club, the Safeco field has a retractable roof, which was open on the day of this photo. Just to the north is Qwest Field, a football stadium home to the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.

The two fields were built to replace the Kingdome, which was demolished in the world’s largest implosion of a single concrete structure on March 26th, 2000.
