This is a thread for all you baseball lovers who like to travel. You didn't have to see a game there. Either toured the stadium or watched a game.

I have been to Fenway Park (Red Sox), Camden Yards (Orioles) hometown team, PNC Park (Pirates), Miller Park (Brewers), Wrigley Field (Cubs), Busch Stadium (Cardinals) and Coors Field (Rockies)

P.S - I am only 16!!!

1. Fenway Park - best atmosphere in baseball

2. Coors Field - great view of the Rockie Mtns

3. Wrigley Field - history at its finest (saw a Cubs-White Sox game)

4. Camden Yards - biased

5. PNC Park - Great view of Pittsburgh

6. Busch Stadium - went year of all-star game and nice view of St. Louis/Gateway Arch

7. Miller Park - Modern stadium

Wrigley - a bit biased, but its electric on a Cubs win

Old Comiskey - Dont remember it too well, but i remember the pinwheels going off. pretty cool

US Cellular - Not a fan. it tries too hard. great food though

Miller Park - Good experience, cant imagine going to every game there though.

Coors Field - Beautiful

Chase Field - I just ate dinner there, seemed awesome. pretty good dinner if that helps

Loved Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville.

Best view / nicest "outside" is PNC Park, though Petco is really nice too.

Best game-day experience is Citizens Bank Park. I like to think this is unbiased, but every game is like a night out. You can see the field no matter where you are in the concourse, so people can just congregate and have drinks anywhere, and it's just a great time. Of course the team winning is helping too!

Love PNC's location, though they could do more around it. My biggest gripe about CBP is that it's not really near anything - it's just in a huge parking lot. Of course, that makes each game like a football game, since there's so much tailgating.

Biggest dissapointment was Turner Field. It's like they didn't want to spend any money on it, it just seems like it was erected in a week. The HOF-type thing they have is really cool though, as well as how they have the retired-numbers displayed.

I honestly did not care for Wrigley. It seemed more like a bar, and we had semi blocked views by poles.

Well, that's going to happen in a lot of places on Chicago's north side. if you just politely asked them to move, I'm sure they would've obliged. I can't vouch for Lithuanians, though.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Camden Yards was easily the best of the bunch.

Tropicana Field wasn't even as nice as most of the minor league parks I've been to.

Atlanta Fulton County Stadium- Saw my first game there.

Turner Field- Nothing like watching my Braves at home.

Minute Maid Park- Great experience. I got on the big screen at one point.

Dodger Stadium- Saw some Dodger games and a WBC game

Petco Park- Went because the Braves were playing. David Wells got kicked out if that game.

Angels Stadium- Just went to see the Halos play the Yankees one year.

Coors Field- Saw games 3 & 4 of the NLCS. We had unbelievable seats.

In the order that I saw them:

Shea Stadium-my sentimental favorite, even if it smelled like piss.

Old Yankee Stadium-the first time I went there when I was 10 I thought it was ugly because all the seats were an ugly shade of blue. Shea's rainbow seats looked a lot better.

Three Rivers Stadium-Astroturf...yuck.

PNC Park-my favorite (non-Shea division).

Citi Field-nice enough, I guess, but nothing sets it apart from the other new stadiums.

New Yankee Stadium-nicer than the old one (the seats are a nicer shade of blue), but I like Citi more.

It probably doesn't count, but I also had classes in the building that sits where Forbes Field was. Seeing the old home plate and what's left of the outfield wall everyday was pretty cool.
