Favorite MLB ballpark?

[CubsFan1982]

Obviously I'm biased, but I'd like to see what you think is the best ballpark to watch a game. Pick from the choices below, or name your own preference!

1. Dodger Stadium has the nicest views.

2. only ones i've been to are the Vet and Citizens Bank Park (Phillies)

Citizens Bank park is beautiful, i love it there, even if i despise the team. :-)

3. Ebbets Field was the great American ballpark

And was truly the heart of the community it represented.

4. I voted Wrigley even though I haven't been there

the only MLB park I've been to is the old Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati

5. The Trop (Tampa Bay Devil Rays). Why?

Cuz they suck soooooooo bad, and since nobody ever goes to the games (for the aforementioned reason, largely) you practically have the whole place to yourself.

Mmmmm...cheap seats with the (now ex) girlfriend...

6. If you can get over the fact

That you're watching baseball in a warehouse.

:-)

7. If only it were as nice as a warehouse...

8. Fenway

is just so deliciously green.

9. The Jake!

Jacobs Field, Cleveland. Looking forward to going to a couple of games there this year.

10. Petco Park is nice. Its a shame that you dont see many homers there.

And its so much more expensive to see the Padres downtown, then it was at Qualcomm.
I miss the tailgating too.

19. Petco is spectacular.

. . . and it takes a lot for me to say that.

12. Safeco

A beautiful park. I've never been to Fenway or Wrigley though ...

[Mojambo]

17. Safeco is incredible

The Giants have a GREAT park as well.

Those are definitely my two favorite.

[JohnKleeb]

13. The Yard in Baltimore, simply awesome

[Jersey Devil]

14. My fav besides Yankee Stadium is The Ballpark, Arlington Tx

It is a neat little ballpark and I still can't get over getting a catfish sandwich at the concession stand.

[Richardo]

15. The view at PNC is superb...

...plus, the Bucs play there. :loveya:

If I lived in the 'Burgh I'd go to every game I could.

[maveric]

16. As old as it is, Dodger Stadium is beautiful.

One of the oldest parks still in use.

[hijinx87]

18. it's getting another renovation for this season.

less foul ground, more seats closer to the action, and they're replacing that awful rubberized warning track with something closer to the original crushed brick.

I haven't seen it, so I don't know if I hate it or not yet. But I probably will.

20. Been to Wrigley, been to SBC

they're nice, but my favorite is still the Juicebox:

21. Here's a picture from outside the park:

22. I haven't been to any but Wrigley!

I biased too in that regard.
I spent many a perfect Sunday afternoon there.

23. HHH Metrodome

I can't believe nobody has said that.

[KitchenWitch]

25. Do I sense a little bit of irony?

The Metrodome is built for football, the baseball sightlines are less than optimal, that being said, I go to at least 5 Twins games a year in the rollerdome.

[KitchenWitch]

24. Wrigley Field by far (as far as current parks go)

Love the retro charm and the manual scoreboard. If Metropolitan Stadium was still around, it would be the Met for sure.

Parks I have visited.

Metropolitan Stadium
Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome
Wrigley Field
Edison Field
Dodger Stadium

Parks I want to visit before I die

Yankee Stadium
Fenway Park
Camden Yards
Shea Stadium
Commiskey Park (I refuse to call it anything else)

I would like to visit the rest of the ballparks too, but the above listed ones are more of a priority.
