Historic sports sites rarely take landmark status (USA Today)
From USA Today:
By Jane Lee, USA TODAY, July 27, 2007:
Fewer than 2,500 historic places have attained National Historic Landmark status in the USA. Less than 1% of those have major sporting significance and that number is not likely to increase appreciably, given renovations even to legendary stadiums and facilities to add revenue for owners.

Also see the side bar article dealing with Chicago's Soldier Field, which is designated as a NHL until it was renovated.
