What is better and more coveted: Wrigley Field or Fenway Park?

I've never been to Fenway, only Wrigley. Both are lucky to still be alive. Which one is better simply based on both's history. Also, how fan friendly they are or are not. Concessions, restrooms, ease of mobility within
You definitely trade over all fan experience for the sake of history.

Both are fantastic. I would give Fenway the edge as far as the actual stadium. Short porch in right field and the green monster in left are both so unique.. For the game experience, I prefer a day game at Wrigley. Sit in the bleachers at least one game if you go.
Can’t go wrong either way.

Been to both. Fenway Park is my favorite place in the universe. They have done a pretty good job adding onto it to make it more fan-friendly over the decades, but it's still very dated. Both aren't going to compete with new places with modern amenities. Hell, at Wrigley you can still be sitting behind a pole.
I like that both parks are small and intimate and inviting.. Truly as much of a cultural experience as it is a sporting event.

Wrigley has/had more charm to me, but I haven't been since the major renovation. Riding the L to Addison is an experience in itself (in a good way) and that alone probably put it above Fenway for me.
Fenway was a very close second behind Wrigley so it's very well possible it'd be #1 now

Boston is probably the one city where this is not remotely true

The per capita income of the population within a 1-mile radius of Wrigley is significantly, significantly higher than the American median.

I’m a Yankees fan from Baton Rouge that has been to 5-6 games in Fenway, most weren’t against the Yankees.
I always describe every game I have been to at Fenway as comparable to LSU regional games. Red Sox vs don’t care teams and the fans are like LSU regional games. Red Sox vs Yankees and it’s like a super regional game. Fenway is the best place on Earth to watch a baseball game. Yankee Stadium gives off too many corporate event vibes.
Wrigley is also great, but the fans aren’t as raucous. Experience not as great. But, wrigleyville is top notch.

Fenway is pretty awesome. I had tickets behind home plate - that's Bregman batting, he hit a home run during this at bat.

Fenway is the more interesting spot.
Wrigley is more pleasant.
Both are treasures and two of the few remaining places to enjoy a sporting event in this country in a place that just feels "right" in every way possible for doing so. Tiger Stadium is still hanging on by a thread in that regard.

Took a day trip to both from ATL to see a game. I prefer Fenway.
As far as “coveted,” as in higher up on a list of most iconic venues to visit regardless of your personal preference, I would give the edge to Fenway for that too.
Fenway has hosted 36 World Series games to Wrigley’s 13. The Red Sox are a more significant franchise than the Cubs and their rivalry with the Yankees is arguably the biggest in American professional sports. I would think Red Sox-Yankees games at Fenway are generally the most sought after regular season MLB tickets every year regardless of how good the teams are.
So Fenway.

Wrigley is a very basic stadium.
Fenway is extremely unique.
Wrigley surrounding area is better tho

I wonder when the last time, if ever, this guy has been to Fenway or Wrigley.
Both are about as insulated as you can get in current day Urban America to an area that seems sketchy.

One interesting thing about Wrigley too is it might be the only stadium in America (football or baseball) where, all else being equal, the experience is enhanced / better for a day game than a night game.

The Wrigley day game experience, sitting down the 3rd base line, where you can see the bleachers and beyond is my favorite. Fenway was awesome as well, but the game day experience outside of Wrigley is a throwback to the 40's. This puts it over the top for me

Questioning this majorly. Went to Boston and Fenway last fall and it is probably the cleanest “big” city I’ve ever been in. Was overall a great experience.
