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.

VETERAN'S MEMORIAL STADIUM-
Home of the
CEDAR RAPIDS KERNELS
Wrigley Field is nice-as is the Wrigleyville area, but lately anymore it's run amok with a bunch of frat-brats who are sh*tfaced beyond any civility by the second inning.
Next place on my agenda is Yankee Stadium. I've wanted to see it all my life, and I only have two years left to see it, so I'm going to make it happen in 2007.

Hands down, my favorite stadium is the one that the Yankees lose in on any given day, especially if it happens to be at Camden Yards or CBP.

I am sorry to say the best baseball park is no longer open. Candlestick, in the bleachers. I am home.
The biggest silly string fight I have ever seen... Fourth of July...Santa( before he was Santa).
And I bet if he sees the post I just made him cry.
Now I am homesick, almost.

I will always remember the park on Candlestick Point for three things
(1) A broadcaster for my beloved Phillies always called it Windlestick
(2) Jerry Garcia ,Bob Weir and the rest of the Dead singing the National Anthem at the All Star Game
(3) The 1989 Earthquake and watching the UPPER DECK actually sway during the quake which took place during game 3

I've been to two, Wrigley and Comiskey in Chicago... So I really can't pick a favorite until I have seen more venues.
