Ballparks I have visited:

1. Oriole Park at Camden Yards: Baltimore Orioles: Fantastic park. I love the warehouse. Walking distance of the Inner Harbor.

2. AT&T Park: San Francisco Giants: Another fantastic park. Absolutely beautiful and very intimate.

3. Wrigley: Chicago Cubs: A classic because of its history and the surrounding neighborhood.

4. Coors Field: Colorado Rockies: Very solid park. In a decent neighborhood. A little on the large side.

5. Nationals Park: Washington DC: A nice place to spend the afternoon. Lacks a signature look from the outside, but very nice inside. Easy transportation right of DC's Metro.

6. Turner Field: The Ted: Atlanta Braves: Great looking park from the outside. It is in a crappy neighborhood and cut off from the rest of the city though.

7. Dodger Stadium: LA Dodgers: Okay. It had a good vibe, but it is really big and traffic is kind of a pain to get there.


Visited (Former)
1. Yankee Stadium: New York Yankees (1923): A classic, still can't believe they replaced it.

2. RFK Stadium: Washington Nationals (1961): Concrete doughnut, but the stands shook for big plays and it was easy to get to.

3. Atlanta Fulton County Stadium: Atlanta: Not much personality, and in the same poor location as the Ted.

4. Veterans Stadium: Philly: This place was kind of a dump.

Haven't read this thread but I bet I'm the only one who has seen a game at Colt Stadium. Houston Colt 45s. Warren Spahn was pitching for the Milwaukee Braves.

You would lose. Had an aunt & uncle who lived in Houston. Probably saw between 15 & 20 games in the 3 years it was in existence.

I always thought it would be cool to go across the country and visit every MLB park and maybe make some sort of book about it.

My old roommate has been to them all and he says its awesome. He makes a weekend trip whenever a new park opens up so he can maintain the streak.
