It's amazing how Turner was reorganized after the Olympics.



If they would have let the LF be open it would be a great view of the city. From this...




To this...

PNC was very nice. Kind of small, but nice.

Petco in San Diego is a great ballpark. Shame that they don't have a good team in it to watch. Still haven't made it to Wrigley yet. I can't imagine anything topping that experience if I ever get to do it.

ETA: Last time I went to Petco, saw Drew Brees there. He saw my Saints cap and yelled WHO DAT.

Parks I've been to:

Astrodome
Rogers Centre
Stade Olympique
Chase Field
Kingdome
Ballpark in Arlington
Mile High Stadium
Coor's Field

I never really had a bad experience anywhere.

Astrodome was old school, but historic.

Skydome is cold as shite when they open the roof. It's very nice looking and modern, but the seats are far from the field.

Olympic Stadium in Montreal was really easy to get cheap, good seats. But the crowd was really small. The crowd that was there was full of fun people though.

Bank One/Chase has a great design. I love the stadium and the atmosphere of the crowd was great, but that was in their inaugural season when McGwire and the Cards were rolling through on the home run tour to 70.

Kingdome gets loud, and the fans are pretty great. As shitty as the stadium looked, the acoustics were great and the crowd was intense. The feeling around the stadium is sketch, but the sity as a whole is nice with baseball...I've seen 2 games here and both rank among my best experiences.

Ballpark in Arlington is very nice. It gets hot as hell without shade in the OF seats. Otherwise, the place is legit. It has that nostalgic feel, which has been the growing trend. Crowds can fluctuate a bit too.

Mile High Stadium was for the Rockies inaugural season. Easily the biggest crowd I have seen a game with. It was the best game I have seen by far, amazing experience. It was my first baseball game, I'll never forget it.

Coor's Field was a blast. The fans were sorta quiet, though...not surprising. With Arlington and Chase, probably the nicest stadium I have been to.

Only been to Kauffman Stadium and KC.. and I was sort of suprised. Really nice stadium. Plus with the additions they are adding, it should be one of the nicest in the league.

been to: Wigley, Safeco, kingdome, old busch, dodger stadium and Shea

Shea was lifeless on top of being a pit, but it was a series with the royals so it was hard to judge

Even though I'm a cardinals fan, Wrigley is awesome

went to the Kingdome for an ALCS against the Indians and even though that place is a death trap, it was really loud

I'm looking forward to getting to new busch, but I'm not sure when I'll get a chance

I've driven by/been to without seeing a game Kauffman, Tiger Stadium, Riverfront, Wrigley, Edison (when it was still built for football), Turner, Veterans...and Kauffman was very nice looking. It is one of the few modern stadiums that doesn't try to give off that retro vibe, but they do a great job with it.

Wish I coulda been there for that. I am probably one of the few people on Earth who kinda miss that place.

Oh yeah...just got my tix for the Indians and Blue Jays for Cleveland's home opener!
