wow. Cleveland gets #1? I personally think the food sucks there

[Evan]

They should have an option to rate the actual building itself because the Rangers have a nice stadium but I agree with the rest of the rankings that go along with it.

it's funny how the stadiums built in the early 90s still are considered some of the best, and often times better than the new ones today. I'm thinking of Jacobs Field, Ballpark at Arlington, and Camden Yards

[tlongII]

Safeco Field in Seattle is terrific.

[Purple & Gold]

Dodger stadium should be #1. Or as me and my friends call it. Hoochie stadium.

Camden Yards at 14 is ridiculous.

Why do you call it Hoochie Stadium? Are there a lot of hoochies there?

I've never been to any ballparks in the West coast but I'm heading out there this summer. My goal is to go to every MLB Park. :

the traffic out of fenway isnt that bad

[MajorMike]

I'm suprised the Cards' affordability is so low; I always thought it was very moderate there.

Of course, the Cards' fans have the #1 Baseball IQ.

there's something about dodger stadium thats electric. every baseball fan needs to see a game here.

I have heard that from a lot of people over the years.

The only good thing about the Rangers right now is their ballpark....its a great place to watch a game even if they lose most of the time

Really? I wasn't all that impressed when I went. It was nice, but the fans acted like they couldn't care less. 2 hours of the night was spent watching about 10 beach balls throughout the crowd being batted around. They paid about as much attention to the actual game as a typical Rough Ryders crowd. I might have just been to a bad game tho. Reds-Dodgers.

[Evan]

I agree. The stadium is fantastic...so cozy.

But they need to have better food and lower the price of everything including tickets. Nobody wants to pay $10 for kinda cold beer and barely edible hot dogs.

[JMarkJohns]

Camden Yards at 14 is ridiculous.

Agreed. I've only been to a handful on the list, but it tops my list.

I've been...

Chase Field
Petco Park
PNC Park
Yankee Stadium
Camden Yards

I'd like to see a game at Coors Field, AT&T Park, Wrigley and Fenway. May have an opportunity for Fenway this summer. Maybe...

[Thunder Dan]

PNC is probably the best stadium I've ever been to. The team sucks, but the stadium is incredible.

Wrigley is the most overrated stadium I've been to. I used to live 3 blocks from it and have seen seven games there. There is nothing great about it other than the history- but if you actually think about it nothing 'great' happened there. The seats are uncomfortable, most of the views suck aside from box seats and the bleachers. The best part is drinking before the game at all the bars in Wrigleyville.

Dodger Stadium is awesome just because of the views. Catch a day game there and you will know what I'm talking about.

Detroit's new stadium is also nice, but it doesn't compare to PNC- not even close. Catch your favorite team at PNC if you can.

[JMarkJohns]

I'd rank my visits as...

Camden
Petco
PNC
Chase
Yankee
Jack Murphy

Them's the six I've been to. Yankee Stadium was a better tour than it was game experience.

[PHXSpursFan]

I've been to all the NL West Stadiums, and all of them are great in their own rights.

[SrA Husker]

A little old now but I prefer the ESPN rankings

[K-State Spur]

Of course, the Cards' fans have the #1 Baseball IQ.

Cardinal tickets are pretty ridiculously expensive. $40 for OF bleacher seats for some weekend games.

People are willing to pay though, so can't blame the business model.

Agreed. Much better rankings.

Coors Field is gorgeous. Sitting behind the first base dugout and seeing that sun set was one of the great sporting event moments of my life.

So... 1st-base side. I prefer sitting 3rd-base side most times, just cause, but if that's the side you'd recommend, then that's the side I take when I get the chance.

[BUMP]

Safeco Field (many times incredible venue)
Ballpark in Arlington (been there a million just feels like home)
