Best Ballpark

[Lager]

What is your favorite ballpark?

Fenway Park owns, but I don't like how they have seats on the Green Monster. :|

I wasn't talking about the hot dog folks.

I've been to about 15 major league parks over the years, and Fenway is definitely up there, more for the nostalgia factor than anything else, though.

My favorites are Camden Yards in Baltimore and PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Both are intimate, retro-themed, very pretty parks that are baseball-specific. Safeco Field in Seattle is nice (and the roof is impressive) but it's just too big and doesn't have that same "feel".

Least favorite stadiums I've been to: Veterans' in Philly and the old Kingdome.

I've always wanted to go on a massive road trip to every stadium, but that would take forever. There are some stadiums that I really want to see, though, like the new one in San Francisco.

Minute Maid Park. It's beautiful.

Had this question for trivial pursuit yesterday....."What 1990s ballpark is 'the best hitter's park in the history of baseball,' according to statistician Bill James?"


The answer is Coors Field.


So my question is....what team plays at Coors Field?

Camden Yards and the Ballpark at Arlington are both very nice.

 

[FoBoT]

i have not yet visited any of the old/famous ballparks

i have only been to the Kingdome to see the mariners back in the early 90's (they tore it down i think?)
Turner Field in Atlanta/Braves
Kaufman here in KC (Royals) , nothing amazing about it

Ask those guys in the Master Card commercial....

 

[astartz]

Fenway and I love the seat on the Monster

I hav ebeen to 9 or so parsk and Bank one in Phoenix is nice but very comercial.
Canden(SP?) Yards in Baltimore is really nice.

As far as a ballpark to watch a game, Camden Yards in Baltimore takes the cake. Great views, its baseball specific, so there isn't any extra space between the field and the seats.... its just wonderful for someone to watch a game.

Now, there's a lot to be offered by old, historic parks... Yankee Stadium, Fenway, etc. But both, you can end up sitting behind a pole, too.

 

[ThaPerculator]

The Old Tiger Stadium was freakin' sweet... Nothing like a old a$$ ballpark... Comerica Park sux tho, and well the Tigers really suck...

 

[Sukhoi]

Jacobs Field!

 

[UF Jspec]

Vet = old and sucks
Camden Yards = beautiful
Minute Maid Field = new and very nice
