re: Nicest/Best MLB stadiums and experiences

I haven't seen a game in many parks but out of them it's
1. Wrigley Field
2. Miller Park
3. Citizens Bank Park
4. Turner Field
I'm not a huge fan of Turner... it's just too big and doesn't really feel like a ballpark

By my count I've been to 15 of the current MLB stadiums. Being a Cubs fan, Wrigley will always be a sentimental favorite. Of the newer parks, PNC is my favorite followed closely by Camnden Yards. The new Busch and Petco were nice too. Didn't care too much for the new park in Philly.

Only been to the Ballpark and Minute Maid, so not too much to add, but PNC is high atop my wishlist. This looks awesome

It's the baseball equivalent of The Meadowlands. Great city, nice park, middle of frickING nowhere.

Exactly. Of course anything is better than the Vet was.

That's really true, but it's not that difficult to get to on the subway

Downtown Philly would be a great place for a ballpark. I doubt you would ever see that because of all the historical landmarks and significance of the area.

Went to a couple of Rangers games last year and all I kept thinking is that I'm jealous of the ballpark in Houston...
Went last year the Sunday after LSU/TCU and it stayed around 103/104 ALL GAME LONG!

It would be really cool, but there's just no place for one. It would be way too expensive to put one downtown in an area that doesn't suck

Baseball stadiums are art. Can't wait until the new Braves stadium is built.

and we still averaged over 37,000 fans per game for the season
too me that's part of the experience.
Parks I've been too:
BPIA
Old Yankee Stadium
Fenway Park
Safeco
Old Tiger Stadium
I really liked Fenway, but didn't feel as if it lived up to the hype. It was against the yankees too. The BPIA is a really, really beautiful park. It's definitely my favorite, but I'm a homer.
My favorite baseball experience ever happened in Old Yankee Stadium. Went with my dad to see the last Rangers game ever in the old park, and in the 3rd game it was tied 2-2 going into the 9th. Rivera came in to face the top of the line-up and Kinsler singled up the middle, stole second, stole third, and Michael Young singled him home and the Rangers won 3-2.
oh and I was 35 rows behind home plate

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.
Did they do Stones to fireworks that night?
But ya, the Jake is a great stadium. By far our best sports venue.

I've been to: Wrigley, Old County Stadium(MIL) Old Busch, Old Yankee Stadium, Astrodome, Coors Field.
Wrigley was far and away my favorite for obvious reasons. Even though only 2 stadiums ive visited currently house MLB teams, I'll share my ranking and experience anyways.
Coors Field
-I have been to this park several times. First time I went I was surprised how nice it was. Built in 1995, it looked very new. Beautiful park
Busch (old)
-Went a few times between 1992 and 2002. The latter being the nicer experience, as they had made some improvements to the facility. Thought they had done a nice job dressing up and old cookie cutter.
Wrigley Field
One of the thrills of my life. Ivy was a deep green. It was just as great as it looked on TV. The age and cramped facilities are the reason this park is not higher on my list.
Yankee Stadium (old)
-Again a very old park, but with so much history, monument park etc. Glad I saw a game there before they tore it down.
The Astrodome
-I was 12 when I went. Don't recall the atmosphere being all that great. Being in the Astrodome itself was cool after seeing from the outside several times
County Stadium (MIL)
-Went to one of the final games there. Miller Park was almost completed in the background. County was and old stadium that didn't hold up too well.

I've only been to Minute Maid and Turner Field. Been to Memphis Redbirds minor league which was pretty nice for the minors.

1) ballpark in Arlington
2) MMP
3) old Busch
4) citi Field
5) new Yankee (walking to the bleachers on the concourse there was no view of the field which I didn't like, I did like the hall of fame room or whatever it was though)
6) Wrigley Field (old and falling down)
7) turner (don't remember too much about this one)
Biased to the astrodome so didn't include in rankings. First game I ever saw was there and saw Bagwell hit a home run. I think that was when I decided that the Astros were my favorite team.
