Hating the environment since 1994
    • Mine has to be Coors Field.

    I've not been to that many parks but we sat in left center "The Rock Pile" and think a ticket was about $6-$8 and got totally loaded. That's basically where all of the rowdy drunks sit. Plus, a great view of the sun setting over the Rockies when sitting there.
     
    PNC in Pittsburgh is a nice park, and since the pirates suck its easy to get good seats cheap. we sat 5th row 3rd base for 25 each. plus federal street that is behind the park has a few good bars (hightops is very cool- hot chicks)

    autozone park in memphis, tn is a very nice minor league park. its right downtown memphis, across the street from the peabody hotel, very nice place.

    PNC Park.

    Any park that can make Pittsburgh not look like a dump has to be amazing...

    This one's too easy:

    Yankee Stadium in the Boogie Down, NYC. 161st Street & River Avenue.

    Very expensive, tough to get seats the last few years, but perfect lighting, perfect field, 98% of the seats give a great view, 'Mystique & Aura' performing nightly, Monument Park, the bleachers are a blast, & only the Roman Coliseum has more history ..

    Stan's Sports Bar across the street is a great post-game hangout too.

    Uh, the Jake, but I haven't been to any others besides 3 Rivers and the Astrodome. 3 Rivers was a bitch to play at on a 90 degree day. The Astrodome had the AC going on a 100 degree day in July back in the day. Oh I've also been to Toronto which is a pretty cool stadium.

    Pac Bell is great in San Fransisco and Minute Maid park in Houston (Homer choice). You can rent out the roof top of union station(train station located just behind the crawford boxes in left) one hell of a party and great view of the city and the ball park. Really though just about any downtown stadium does it for me. I have never been to camden but I appreciate that it helped to get us out of the cookie cutter era. The astrodome has got to be up there with the worst all time.

    Ameraquest in Arlington is beloved by the locals here in dallas but the only thing that i like about it is that after a home run(of which there are many) they play the Theme from The Natural and shoot off fireworks around the lightpoles. Other than that it is overrated

    Gotta go with The Jake.

    I am not a Wrigley Field guy. Besides the bleachers the place is just an old stadium.

    The Tigers new ballpark is not too bad. We had some seats for a Tribe game last year along 3rd base line and the sightlines are great. Of course, it is in Detroit and everything around the stadium is a shithole.

    So far, i've made it to:

    Riverfront/Cinergy
    Great American ballpark
    Cleveland Stadium
    Three Rivers
    PNC
    Busch Stadium
    Camden Yards
    Fenway (not for a game, just to look around)

    Of all of these, I like the newer ones the most, namely Camden, GABP, and PNC (approximately in that order).

    Fenway's great for different reasons. So much history and character. They try to create character in the new parks (the hill in Enron/Minute Maid), but it isn't the same as the early fields that have real character.

    Busch, Riverfront, and Three Rivers are all pretty bland. A lot of history in each one, but if you've seen one, you more or less have been in all of them.

    Cleveland Stadium was a nasty hole in the ground the one time I went.

    I've been to (I'm only listing MLB parks):

    GABP, Riverfront, Three Rivers, PNC, Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium, Shea, Jacobs Field, Wrigley, HHH Dome, the Vet, and Comerica.

    PNC hands down, although Wrigley is my favorite vintage park.
