I’ve been to both. For me, Wrigley > Fenway. Both were cool as hell and just oozed nostalgia.
I guess I felt like this: Wrigley is a place that still wants to be a ballpark. Fenway is a place that has to be a ballpark.

So you’ve never been to Boston or the north side of Chicago. Got it.

Fenway is far better

I have been to both.
Wrigley is LIGHT YEARS better than Fenway. Fenway is kind of a dump to me

To answer your question: you can’t go wrong with either.
This depends on the experience you want. Do you need sushi rolls at the ballpark while sitting in an air conditioned area overlooking a pool by the field? Yeah, Fenway or Wrigley may not be for you.
If you want the best modern atmospheres that can someday be a Wrigley or Fenway, go to Pittsburgh or SF. If you want a manufactured good time in a place that’s kind of like mall, go to Houston, Yankee, or Citi Field.
If you want to travel back in time and have a pure experience, it’s the Cubs or Sox. I’d take those two any time.

I've been to both, but I'm very, very biased as a Cub fan.
Both have a very unique charm unlike most ball parks or stadiums I've been to, and I've been to many, both are right in the middle of neighborhoods and are very much a fabric of the neighborhoods.
Both stadiums still have the genuine old school vibe - and ooze with history you can almost feel when you walk in.
Fenway has better food in stadium. When I went to Fenway 20 years ago the seats seemed more small and cramped than Wrigley. I prefer the pre-game options in bars and eats outside Wrigley I find they have more an better.
Both have trains that take you right up to the stadium so very convenient for not fighting traffic and finding parking.
Both offer tours that are great and rich in history. You can't go wrong either way.

Yes, Johnt had a swing and a miss on that one.

Been outside of both ballparks (surrounding neighborhoods) multiple times, but never been in either unless you count the bar that is behind the centerfield wall at Fenway. You can have a beer and enjoy the view of the stadium from there. Never been inside Wrigley, but as has been said here multiple times, Wrigleyville is nice. Lots of bars, restauraunts and shops. This summer I want to do a game or two in each.

I’ve been to every stadium but five. They are my 1a and 1b.

Can't go wrong either way, both ball parks and neighborhoods will afford memorable experiences if you have the least bit interest in baseball or honestly, even if you don't.

Have you been to either stadium?
If so you’d know what you said isn’t remotely true. Unless you get in a drunken bar fight you’re plenty safe in Wrigleyville and the area around Fenway isn’t remotely dangerous, particularly on a game day.
Personally I’d go Wrigley because wrigleyville is significantly more fun than the area around Fenway, but Fenway as an actual stadium has slightly more aura to it because of the unique layout.

this is not true of Fenway at all.
I absolutely hate all Boston teams and wish them nothing but misery, but it's my favorite Great American City.

That's what these new mega venues are missing.

I’m curious how many others preferred Wrigley before they built Nashville around it (complete with a Hattie B’s). It used to be neighborhood bars and stuff but now they’ve basically built their own Ballpark Village or Battery when they already had the original. Upgrades were certainly needed to the ballpark itself and the facilities for the players, but the rest of it…just more revenue for the Ricketts, I suppose.
