Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington
Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona
I then searched for nearby convention centers for each of these stadiums. There does not appear to be a CC near Tropicana Field, and the ones near University of Phoenix Stadium and Reliant Stadium are over 5 miles away. The CCs near Cowboys Stadium, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, Safeco Field, Ford Field, and Mercedes-Benz Superdome do not appear to be connected to the stadiums (please correct me if I'm wrong). This leaves 5 options
Georgia Dome
Chase Field
Edward Jones Dome
Lucas Oil Stadium
Rogers Centre

You forgot covered college arenas. The ones that can hold enough people are:
Alamodome (San Antonio, TX)
Fargodome (North Dakota)
Carrier Dome (Syracuse, NY)
UNI-Dome (Cedar Falls, IA)
Walkup Skydome (Flagstaff, AZ)
Of those, only the UNI-Dome has an attached facility for the pits (the McLeod Center), but getting people to Cedar Falls would probably be an insurmountable obstacle.
