Worst was Riverfront park in cinccy
Fans are shite, and the park was shite. Reds were in a fight for Wild card, and 12K show up for the game, and at least 1/3rd were Cardinal fans. Was nothing to do around the park, it was not good.

I like the bank. They have pretty good views of downtown from the uppers.
Xfinity Live is pretty cool too if you get out there before the games
My fave is probably Pittsburgh

Tropicana field is by far the worst.
I really enjoyed Nationals Park
Safeco is another great one
Arizona was ok although the roof opening mid game was cool
Target Field was nice. Great fans in my section lead to friendly and fun environment

Nationals Park
Underwhelmed me TBH. Given the city and location they could have done some cool shite to incorporate the river and the mall, and instead they built a relatively generic (but nice) modern stadium.

There could be better scenery around but if you took that park and dropped it somewhere there was scenery and bars/restaurants around it would be a top 5 stadium in the league.
I sort of agree with this. I actually appreciate the symmetry and modern look of it. Some of these new stadiums try too hard for contrived quirkiness and overly forced attempts at a "throwback" look.
I've never been there or even been to Kansas City, but the fact that you can tell in looking at maps how it's just in the middle of nothing makes it seem pretty awful, though.

oh no i can get that completely. but once youre actually there i dont get how you can walk away and say "man that place sucks."
Posted on 5/17/21 at 1:55 pm to GentleJackJones
Petco and Tmobile are my favorite.

It's terrible. Someone did correctly mention that there aren't many bad seats. That's true. But, that alone, doesn't override the bland atmosphere and horrible views.
Honestly, in your opinion, which is nicer?

LOL, so it looks like the priority for people's enjoyment of a stadium is to be able to see downtown buildings.
First, once you are in the stadium you aren't thinking about the parking lot.
Second, you aren't that far from things to do. Literally 5 minutes by car and you are in the middle of downtown.
Go to a game then take the 7 minute drive to Jack's Stack or Q39 BBQ. Perfect day.

Favorite for sentimental reasons was the Astrodome. Best is PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Tied for least favorite are Fenway and the demolished Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Both were toilets of nasty people. Fenway is overrated.

Absolutely not. However, Kansas City isn't a "historic park" like Fenway, Wrigley, etc. So, it doesn't have that going for it. Further, views like the following certainly don't hurt a park's appeal:
I'm just making the point that KC is a boring, stale stadium.

Agree with both. PNC is the gold standard for numerous reasons. Great atmosphere around the park, great views from the seats, beautiful background.
Philadelphia sucks but that XFinity Live place is cool. The right taxi driver can get from the stadium to downtown in less than 10 minutes, as I found out a few years ago.

Lol this is ridiculous. Nobody is going to the ballpark to look at tall buildings.
I agree it’s a nice backdrop to have, but there are other criteria to a stadium besides the background…you’re there to watch the game, not critique the local architecture.
