| | In 1991, the Oakland Coliseum (home of baseball's Athletics) became the nation's first open-air stadium to ban smoking. By 1994, smoking was banned in 20 of 28 major league ballparks, 16 of them outdoors. And 20 ballparks in 1994 do not allow signs and billboards that advertise tobacco products. The Rose Bowl is also now nonsmoking. |
