List the MLB stadiums you’ve visited and rank them from nicest to worst.

I've only been to 3 so far - The Trop, Minutemaid and Rangers Ballpark (Globe Life Park).

PNC Park is very underrated.

Camden yards is great as well.

I've been to 4. All were good times.

1. Camden Yards
2 Yankee Stadium
3. Citi Field

I'll leave out Turner Field but it's probably the least nice of these but my bias would put it number 1.

I am planning on catching a couple of games there later this summer.


Might as well go three and half hours east and visit the new Busch Stadium. It is the nicest one I have been to, but I have only been to Turner, Fulton County, Old Busch, and The Great American Ballpark.

I always liked Kauffman.

ETA:

1. Busch
2a. Ballpark at Arlington
2b. Kauffman
3. Minute Maid
4. Old Busch (didn't realize we were including out of commission stadiums - It was nice, but showing its age. I much preferred its architecture to the new Busch, though. I still remember it quite fondly and I would put it only slightly behind Minute Maid. The layout was SO much better than Minute Maid, though, it wasn't even close. Minute Maid's layout sucks arse.).

Went to an Indians game and a Reds game

I enjoyed both, but the Indians stadium was amazing..doesn't hurt though that was on the induction night that the Rolling Stones was put into the HOF.

If you got the time and money, I would. The whole experience, inside and outside the stadium, in a baseball city like St. Louis is pretty cool!

The new Braves stadium will blow them all out of the water.
Can't wait.

I've only driven by Kaufman, I've heard it's nice though. It's kind of outside the city without bars or anything near by though.

My top 5 (haven't been to the west coast parks or the two new NYC parks yet. Missing a few others as well)

Wrigley day game on the weekend. As authentic as it gets and has a college football Saturday type atmosphere to it. Simply awesome

Fenway- not quite the neighborhood experience Wrigley has but still fun bars around the stadium.

PNC- the nicest new park and the area around it seems to be developing quickly. The atmosphere should only improve if the Buccos sustain success

Camden Yards- another awesome new stadium and I really like the waterfront area near it

New Busch- great fans, great atmosphere, and I think they're investing heavily in building up the area around it

Do both if you can. I will definitely be making the pilgrimage at some point this season and cannot wait to see how this turns out. I hope it was worth the wait.

Yeah, ballpark village just opened up. I haven't been yet, but based on the backlash about the dress code, I'll probably enjoy it.

Yeah it sounds fantastic. Hopefully more clubs and cities follow suit. I really want to make it to San Fran and Petco soon.

Excellent. Keep the riff raff out.

I hope more local bars and such open around that area to make it more of an experience. It looks so corporate right now that I can see a bunch of the locals getting tired of it very quickly. Hopefully it serves as an anchor spot for more businesses to flock around.
