Coors Field, I was there for the inaugural game, it was pretty damn cool...

Besides, it's the only stadium I've been to. Oh wait, I did see a game in Atlanta in like 95...

I dig the classics. Any game is better in Yankees Stadium, Fenway Park or Wrigley Field.

They all have their own personalities, you know?

High Life on tap...can't beat that :D .

I made the road trip down from Minneapolis a couple of summers ago and still can't get over how nice it is just to have outdoor baseball...I never liked the Metrodome and since that game at Miller Park I refuse to go back to the Metrodome. But, we are getting a new stadium in 2010 so I got that going for me, which is nice :wink:

There is a part of me that wants to go to claim having been there when it was the original (well, the mostly original). Just have that pesky promise I made to myself to break
been to both old & new!!!the thing with Yankee is it's huge...you don't feel close to the action!!!...we use to have great seat to the old park...2nd level front row even with 1st base....of course it came with a pole next to us!!1st game was old timers day in 1972 against the Orioles

Every year we try to visit assorted ballparks- bf loves the games & is a Yankees nut, and we have an arrangement that if I go & suffer through a baseball game then I get all the beer and food that he can buy me and I can consume in 4 hours. :lol: Works out well for me!

So, from the viewpoint of I am more interested in the food/beverage selection and the bathroom quality, I would have to vote for Camden Yards. Pit Beef! Microbrew Beer! Those crazy loaded hotdogs!

Plus, that new Maryland Sports Museum right adjacent on Eutaw street is very good.

But it is fun to see them close the dome after a game up in Toronto.

And you can't beat any stadium that has tailgating! We tailgated at the dismal RFK stadium this summer and that was a complete blast.

Great American BP. Nothing better than chilling out in right field in the moon/sun deck on a Saturday afternoon pounding pops and ripping the oppositions lame duck right fielder. War the Nati sweeping the Cards starting tonight.

I'd have to go with Fenway, just from growing up there and everything. However, the new Pittsburgh park looked amazing at the All Star game, and the new stadium in St. Louis looks great too.

Hands down... TIGER STADIUM!! I attended the final game there (yes, I'm a Tigers fan), and it was sad to see "her" go. What's even more sad is Mike Illich is allowing the old stadium to be demolished by neglect. :cry:

there was nothing like watching a ballgame in the astrodome in the late 70s, early 80s before the rennovated it.

the scoreboard that lit up... classic! at least at enron/minute maid park, they still have some of the old animation that plays...

but there is something about doger stadium and angel stadium that are near and dear to my heart. my first ball games were there.

i want to go to wrigley and yankee stadium at some point in time...

Unmatched history, great landscaping ( the grass is always kept well and it drains better than most fields) and the team's own mini museum. Nothing beats the House that Ruth Built, Yankee Stadium!

I had to vote for Yankee Stadium only because my grandfather took me there back in the 60's to see Mantle and Maris play. He was a season ticket holder. What can I say! I love Wrigley Field!!! :D :D :D
