My personal favorite is Minute Maid Park...

I've been to a lot of stadiums, I like Miller Park the best, but The Cell is improving and making its way to one of the better ones in the league...

1. Camden Yards

2. PNC

3. Safeco

coors is the best of the ones I've been to.

I've been to a lot of stadiums, I like Miller Park the best,

The one thing I don't like about Miller is when you walk around the concourse, you are completely separated from the action. I don't know why the cell gets called the "Ball Mall" becasue the concourse out in Milwaukee actually is a mall.

I've been to quite a few myself. My family and I are avid baseball fans so each year we head to a new park or two for "quick" vacations. This year Philly and San Diego are on tap. As for my favorites I'll give it a whirl:

 

Favorite "new" park: SBC Park (aka Pac Bell Park)

I went to this one a couple years back, when it was still Pac Bell, and this place amazed me. Great food, great sights, and a damn good place to watch a baseball game to boot. Plus it was only a dollar (round trip) to take the subway from our hotel to right in front of the stadium. Purely an amazing place, a must see if you love ballparks.

 

Honorable "new" park Mention: Camden Yards

The first "retro" ballpark and quite frankly the best. I went to this one when I was a bit younger, but I still remember it. It really is as great as people say.

 

Favorite "old" park: Fenway Park

Red Sox Nation can sure be obnoxious at times but boy are they into the game. The whole 9 innings everyone was quite conscious of the game situation and it showed. I especially liked the fact that Yawkey Way is closed off to cars and such, this is really something the White Sox should consider doing to 35th street. It creates a great atmosphere outside the ballpark. The only bad thing about Fenway was the hot dogs, they were awful! Maybe it's just because I'm spoiled w/real hot dogs at USCF.

 

Honorable "old" park mention: Yankee Stadium

The bronx is well....the bronx. Decent food, great sights w/an enormous amount of history. This is one of those places you just have to go at least once if you love basbeall...the monuments are a must see. It's in a terrible spot but eh it's New York what do you expect. ;)

 

So yea that's my two cents on ballparks. :D

I am bias as hell. :lol:

Camden Yards. Although I loved Old Tiger Stadium when I went there. Going to go to Petco soon and from what I hear, that may end up topping the list.

 

Also, I'd have to put Pac Bell park up their...it may of passed Camden, but their is something I like about the old warehouse that keeps Camden 1st.

1 - Petco Park

2 - Camden Yards

3 - SBC Park

4 - Safeco Field

5 - PNC Park

Of the ones I've been to, I'd list them in this order:

 

USCF ( it really is a GREAT ballpark now, and I hope they don't put that LF thing up next year )

Bank One Ballpark ( I really enjoyed this park, even though it felt very similar to Miller Park, which I didn't like )

Wrigley ( a decent old park, with the problems you'd expect from an old park )

Miller Park ( feels like a warehouse, but slightly better when the roof is open )

Busch Stadium ( a dump - Cardinals fans deserve better and will get it in a few years when that cool looking new park is built )

 

The ones I'd like to see someday:

 

Fenway

Petco

Camden

Safeco

Alright off the top of my head, the ones i've been to are:

 

Old Comiskey 7

USCF 8

Wrigley 4

County Stadium 11

Miller Park 6

HHH Metrodome 14

Busch Stadium 10

Great American Ballpark 9

PNC Park 2

Shea Stadium 13

Fenway Park 1

Yankee Stadium 5

Veterans Stadium 12

Camden Yards 3

 

First off, it's hard to compare new parks to old parks. I'm only going to rank parks i've been to, since ranking others is kind of hard based on TV coverage and second hand stories. My favorite new park is PNC Park by far. I think it is a very beautiful ballpark, mixes in an old time baseball feel and a great backdrop. Camden was also very nice, especially considering it's a bit older than the other newer parks, if that makes sense.

 

My favorite old park (and overall #1 if i have to compare all parks) is Fenway Park. The places just oozes history. You can really feel the nostalgia in that place. Nothing has changed a ton about it since it opened - unlike Yankee stadium. While still cool, it has changed too much. It felt like what unrenovated USCF used to be, to be honest. Fenway blows away Yankee Stadium in my book...

 

Worst ones? I put Shea behind the Vet. Shea is AWFUL. Everything about it is just terrible, i hated it. Vet isn't much better at all; it's still terrible. I realize it's gone but it's a park i've been to so i thought i would still rank it. I was only at the Metrodome when i was 10, so it's hard to remember everything about it.

I will put the Metrodome behind the Vet and Shea purely based on the fact that the Vet and Shea are open air stadiums, if that makes any sense. I think it does.

 

***This being said, i'm now going to rank the parks above, even with old and new parks mixed in. 1 is the best. And i'm going to avoid being biased during these rankings, because although i hate the cubs and their fans with a passion, Wrigley still is a nice, old ballpark (i love older parks). Please don't flame me for it just for the hell of it.

Favorite Stadium that I've been to is Yankee Stadium.

But the Giants Ball Park looks like the best one.

Having been to Camden Yards and the Cell I have to give the slight edge to Camden.

Favorite "old" park: Fenway Park

Red Sox Nation can sure be obnoxious at times but boy are they into the game. The whole 9 innings everyone was quite conscious of the game situation and it showed. I especially liked the fact that Yawkey Way is closed off to cars and such, this is really something the White Sox should consider doing to 35th street.

How dare you diss the Fenway hotdogs, Fenway Frank's are the best hot dog in baseball! :headbang

I've been to old Tiger Stadium, Comerica, USCF, Wrigley, Miller Park, and the HHH Dome. Comerica was really nice, with an imtimate feeling. Miller Park was okay, but the roof was closed when I was there. The Twinkee Dome sucked badly. Wrigley was ho hum, I'm sure it was a biased feeling though. Tiger Stadium was sweet because I got to be on the field pre-game and stand with the team during the national anthem and so on because I won some contest. I went there at least 5 times and was sad when the Tigers moved. I don't really think I need to tell you all how nice the Cell is.

I love uscf just an awesome park. Fenway was awesome too, until it started to rain :angry: . Yankee stadium is alright I don't think it's amazing but it was descent. I liked miller park but I like the cell and fenway much better.

I'd like to go to Fenway someday and check it out.

The only park i've ever been to is USCF, so i guess i had to vote for that.

Yeah, I went on Weds when I was in Boston. It was pretty cool but nothing beats a game at uscf when watching our sox. I love watching all baseball but its not the same when you go to a game and your not watching the white sox.

One of the things I want to do someday when I'm retired or something is to take a summer long trip to all the MLB ballparks. That would be expensive as hell but it would really rock.

How dare you diss the Fenway hotdogs, Fenway Frank's are the best hot dog in baseball!  :headbang

Hell Yeah they are

Are you guys crazy? Fenway Franks are disgusting! The dudes that sell them have to lug around this huge tub of hot water that they are boiled in and they don't even put them in a bun! They just slap it on a couple of buns or whatever bread they have laying around :lol:

 

The Sox have the best dogs...easily. A kosher dog off the grill is the greatest thing at the Cell, I urge you to reconsider. :D

Dude, you're making me hungry!

I would love to do that some day also. That would be amazing.
