    Sun Life Stadium (Florida Marlins)
    Fulton Country Stadium (Old Braves ballpark)
    Turner Field (Atlanta Braves)
    AT&T Park (San Francisco Giants)
    Wrigley Field

    From this short list I'll put Wrigley as the coolest but SF as the nicest (and second coolest)


    agreed on San Fran....that place is nice.

    I have seen a few from the outside like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NY Yankees.

    but have only been to just one game at one place:

    Citizens Bank Park - Phillies vs. Red Sox back in 2009, I think
  • RW81233RW81233 Posts: 2,393
    County/Miller Park
    Fenway
    The Jake
    Riverfront
    Three Rivers
    The Vet/Bank
    Jerry Park/Olympic Stadium
    Exhibition Stadium/Skydome
    Shea Stadium
    Yankee Stadium II (not I or III)
    Camden Yards
    Ballpark at Arlington
    Angels of Anaheim Dump
    Safeco
    RFK/Transparency of Democracy Field or Whatever
    Old Busch Stadium


    Wow when I started this post I thought I had only been to a few but the only division I've missed completely is NL West and I've driven by all 4 in my life but never been to a game.

    Current

    Philly
    NY (mets)
    Baltimore
    DC
    Boston
    Florida
    Milwaukee
    Cleveland
    Pittsburgh
    LA (dodgers)
    LA (angels)
    chicago (wrigley)

    Had tix to see a game in cincinnati, but it got rained out and I went to the bar instead

    Old

    NY (yankee)
    NY (shea)
    Baltimore (memorial)
    Philly (the vet)
    SD (jack murphy)
    Pittsburgh (3 rivers)

    Top parks on my list to get to are...New Yankee Stadium, Petco, and Pac Bell (or whatever the one in SF is called). Will definitely have to hit a phils game at the new marlins park as well.

    My top 3 (current) that I've been to are (in order)...Camden Yards, Wrigley, and PNC (pittsburgh). Fenway is the most overrated.

    Sounds about right.

    My favorites are:
    Citizens Park (I'm biased, but I think it's just a great ballpark, and it has a nice history already)
    Dodger Stadium (didn't confront any gangs)
    Great American Ballpark (Reds fans were really cool and the stadium is way underrated)
    Safeco (loved getting sushi and best beer selection I've ever seen in a ballpark, and I wouldn't even have known the place had a roof b/c it was so beautiful out)

    Safeco is easily the best in my book. I was at the game when Coco Crisp almost got run over by the moose haha! Beer selection, food, outside vendors with the cream cheese hotdogs - awesome. I fucking hate Fenway and Citizens Bandbox Park but for biased reasons, strangely loved Yanks II. Miller Park is fun for the football at a baseball game atmosphere, the people are super nice, and it's my team. As far as stadiums go Camden Yards is like the Beatles to me. It begat a lot of what came after it, but when I go/listen to the Beatles (and it's probably the place I've been to most over the years) I can't get into it. I've even been to some awesome one's (notably B-Rob's extra innings walkoff against the Yanks in '05, and Pedro losing to them on opening weekend in '03 2-1, and the last 7 opening days) but its charm is Disney fake to me.

    I really liked both Milwaukee stadiums - almost put them in my list. Always have a good time in Wisconsin - one of my favorite places.

  • I went to the old Yankee stadium in it's last year before being demolished('08). Saw the Yankees vs the Redsox. Well, not really; we couldn't see a whole lot from where we were sitting. But it sure was interesting being up in the stands. Lots of drunk people shouting and fighting. Someone got hurled over a few rows of seats. NYPD everywhere. The atmosphere felt more like we were at a boxing match, lol. It was pretty mad at times.

    Wanna go to Candlestick park one day....

    I went 4 times. The last time I went was 2004. I really wanted to go during its last season. So disappointed in myself.

    That's exactly why I want to go there. I've never been to an NFL game in my life. I'm closer to Seattle, but I'm not much of a Seahawks fan; I'd much rather see a 9ers game - preferably against the Washington Redskins!

    But yeah, definitely planning on it in the next couple of years, around this time of the year(maybe 2013??)

    Plus, Candlestick Park is where the Beatles played their last live concert, so that's another reason I guess, lol

    added Miller Park this summer. It's a nice enough stadium, but i would rank it well behind AT&T

    AT&T is by far the nicest park i've been too.
