re: Nicest/Best MLB stadiums and experiences

Only been to the Ballpark and Minute Maid, so not too much to add, but PNC is high atop my wishlist. This looks awesome

It's the baseball equivalent of The Meadowlands. Great city, nice park, middle of frickING nowhere.

Exactly. Of course anything is better than the Vet was.

Downtown Philly would be a great place for a ballpark. I doubt you would ever see that because of all the historical landmarks and significance of the area.

It would be really cool, but there's just no place for one. It would be way too expensive to put one downtown in an area that doesn't suck

Dodger Stadium
Turner Field
Roger Dean Stadium*
Marlins Park
The old Jack Murphy Stadium
Joe Robbie Stadium
Candlestick Park








*spring training stadium for Marlins and Cardinals. Great little park to catch spring games

PNC Park
Minute Maid
Turner Field

1. Fenway- cause it's Fenway
2. Baltimore
3. Astrodome
4. Minute maid
5. Coors

I've been to: Wrigley, Old County Stadium(MIL) Old Busch, Old Yankee Stadium, Astrodome, Coors Field.

Wrigley was far and away my favorite for obvious reasons. Even though only 2 stadiums ive visited currently house MLB teams, I'll share my ranking and experience anyways.



Coors Field
-I have been to this park several times. First time I went I was surprised how nice it was. Built in 1995, it looked very new. Beautiful park

Busch (old)
-Went a few times between 1992 and 2002. The latter being the nicer experience, as they had made some improvements to the facility. Thought they had done a nice job dressing up and old cookie cutter.

Wrigley Field
One of the thrills of my life. Ivy was a deep green. It was just as great as it looked on TV. The age and cramped facilities are the reason this park is not higher on my list.

Yankee Stadium (old)
-Again a very old park, but with so much history, monument park etc. Glad I saw a game there before they tore it down.

The Astrodome
-I was 12 when I went. Don't recall the atmosphere being all that great. Being in the Astrodome itself was cool after seeing from the outside several times

County Stadium (MIL)
-Went to one of the final games there. Miller Park was almost completed in the background. County was and old stadium that didn't hold up too well.

1) ballpark in Arlington
2) MMP
3) old Busch
4) citi Field
5) new Yankee (walking to the bleachers on the concourse there was no view of the field which I didn't like, I did like the hall of fame room or whatever it was though)
6) Wrigley Field (old and falling down)
7) turner (don't remember too much about this one)

Biased to the astrodome so didn't include in rankings. First game I ever saw was there and saw Bagwell hit a home run. I think that was when I decided that the Astros were my favorite team.
