my definition would be attractive venue and designed well enough to make the game easy to watch

If I may expand on that, a good park should make things as comfortable as they would be if you were watching the game at home. That means easy access to bathrooms, food and drink and being able to watch a game without many distractions.

I hate sitting in the upper deck at Wrigley and having to walk down a ramp to street level to reach the nearest bathroom. And while there are good fans at Wrigley that are there to actually watch baseball, there are also too many douchebags who just bulldog Old Styles for 9 innings with their shirts off while their girlfriends yammer endlessly about how sweaty they are.

Seattle is a great city. A lot like Austin, TX. More laid back though. You're in a big city, but the people are really cool and nice. Awesome sports town as well.

They'll even bring it to your seat for you on that level....for a nominal fee, of course. but the sushi and seaweed salad were phenomenal.
