I pick the Friendly Confines, but it’s close. I think I just like the Cubs and their vibe A LOT more than the Red Sox. The Ivy and aura of that park is just awesome to me.

Fenway. You come out through the tunnel behind home plate and it's as if the whole world opens up in that moment.

I liked Fenway more but they’re both great. Wrigley has made it more modern on the outside while Fenway still feels old. Walking into Fenway I got chills. Wrigley was cool no doubt, Fenway was just better.

Wrigley is awesome for the same reasons as Fenway, but Fenway is probably better.

I haven't been (yet), but it's a cooler/older looking park. It's got more character.

It’s honestly hard to pick

But you enter both and feel different. Two of the coolest places you can see

I like Fenway's park better, but I've had more fun in Wrigley.

It is a hard question...and this is not a brag, but lived in Chicago and was a Cubs season ticket holder so spent many a day at Wrigley, and lived the NE for a bit and probably been to 50 plus games at Fenway.

If you asked me this question 10 years ago, it would be Wrigley in a heart beat, but what the RIcketts are doing to the area is killing some of the special around the stadium.

Fenway is more authentic these days in my opinion.

They are both fun for a party and watching baseball.

For viewing, I think Wrigley still has it beat as the seats are a little more modern and point at the field. Green Monster is nice, but not as fun as the Bleachers...

But you cannot go wrong at either

Fenway. Wrigley is only good for a day game. Even then, the outfield is too "fratty," "fresh out of college," or "bachelor party" level debauchery. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people having a good time, but I brought my kids (5, 7, and 10) and the environment and language was too much. I didn't get angry or call anyone out or flag down an usher, but I had to remove them from the environment.

Wrigley is a dump

Fenway has some bad seats, but overall much better seating and you always seem close

The actual pregame and postgame experience is a million times better at Fenway too.

I've only been to Wrigley.. hoping to catch a game in Fenway this summer or next.. Both are bound to equally great and unique at the same time..

Wrigley. The atmosphere in the park and outside the park doesn't compare, unfortunately neither do the teams. Sox have a better team, but the Cubs have a better park

I've only been to Fenway, so I can't judge Wrigley, but I was blown away. Fenway is in a class all by itself. It's amazing and what baseball is supposed to be on every level.

Wrigley by far. Fenway is an absolute dump.

As opposed to probably being shanked if you root for the Yankees at Fenway
