It's below Fenway, Wrigley, PNC, Dodger Stadium, SF Giants stadium so probably like 6th or 7th

I've been to all of the above (plus Camden) except Pirates

below Dodger Stadium



I’ve been to Camden, Dodger Stadium, AT&T, PNC, Wrigley, Fenway, Truist, Minute Maid, Busch Stadium, Great American, Jacobs, and Chase Field

PNC is still my favorite

I think the Giants’ stadium is just ok. The breeze off the bay meant we froze our asses off in May. The lower bowl seats are not angled to face home plate; my neck hurt halfway through the game having to turn to watch the pitches. The garlic fries were good.

Wrigley is my fave by far.

I’ve been to Fenway, Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium, Minute Maid and Petco.

Fenway is my favorite. Petco and Camden are next. I haven’t been to Wrigley yet, but I doubt there are many better than Camden. It had the right amount of nostalgic feel with contemporary upgrades in a happening area.

Camden Yards started the whole retro stadium genre. New Commisky opened the year before and it was obsolete the day Camden Yards opened.

You need to go to PNC, it's my favorite of the trendy new stadiums built around the turn of the century and Pittsburg is an underrated city IMHO.

Never been to Camden but I've heard good things - about their stadium at least.

Of course Wrigley is my favorite overall.

It's my second favorite I've been to behind PNC

I've been to

Truist, Miami, Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, Comerica, Wrigley, Camden, Citizens Pank, Nationals, PNC

Yankee Stadium is a distant last place. It's unbelievable how bad it is for a new stadium

Would love to see Camden Yards and PNC.

Being near MSP...I have to admit Target Field is a great set up and in a great spot with downtown nearby. Highly recommend.

Camden Yards is in my top tier along with PNC, Busch, Wrigley, and the Giants Park.

Worst was probably the Diamondbacks. Just no spirit

So is Fenway. And the field design, while it may be "iconic" from a historical perspective, is fricking retarded.

I've been to a majority of the ball parks and aside from SF, it is my favorite.
I have not been to Pittsburg's park.

It's like stepping back in time to the 40's or 50's. Complete with the Barber Shop Quartet, Gary Pressy on Organ, and the old stadium with an unbelievable charm. I haven't been to all of the stadiums, but Wrigley was my favorite by far.

Camden Yard didn’t leave much of an impression on me, but probably because Baltimore is such a strange town.

It was better than Tropicana and probably better than Minute Maid but I prefer the other 10 or so parks I’ve been to, including Commisky.

I’ve heard that the Pirates stadium is the best place to watch a game due to the view. Not iconic but just fun.

Dodger stadium is not a shite hole. I doubt you've been if you think that. It felt like Disneyland with all the hills and the trees and plants outside. Very Los Angeles 1950's. Was magnificent
