epper Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 SkyDome - Probably been to about 40 or 50 games in my lifetime. When the dome's open, it's really a nice place to watch a game. When it's closed, its pretty dreary. One of the most unique stadiums in the league. Jacobs Field - Nicest of the bunchCleveland Municipal Stadium - DumpBusch Stadium II - Best gameday experience, most knowledgeable fans Oakland Coliseum - Went in 1996 when Mount Davis was under construction. It was the Mariners vs. As, and both Griffey and McGwire got the day off. Sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Citizens Bank Park - Jays vs. Phillie this year, very nice!Jacobs Field - Jays vs. Indians about 4 years back. It was a dreary day, but it was nice, not as nice as Philly's but number 2 on the list.Yankee Stadium - Jays vs. Yankees, last year on labour day. Literally a dump, but it has so much history to somewhat make up for it.Olympic Stadium - Plenty of games. A dump, and no baseball history to make up for it, amazing how an olympics happened there Rogers Centre - Place of employment. As was said earlier, if the sun is shining and the roof is open, it isn't all that bad. When it's closed, it's really sterile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I went on a baseball tour this past summer and saw a few new stadiums.Metrodome (multiple times)Kauffman Stadium (before and after renovations, several times)Busch Stadium (new one)Miller ParkWrigley FieldUS Cellular FieldOriole Park at Camden YardsCoors FieldDriven by Fenway and Safeco.I have to say Busch Stadium is really nice. Good atmosphere too. Wrigley had the best atmosphere. Metrodome is always great as a Twins fan. I sat in a luxury box at Coors Field when I was younger to see the Rockies and Mets with my Dad and uncle. The Mets stayed at the same Embassy Suites as us. We saw them in the lobby one morning, Bobby Valentine, John Olerud, and so on. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've been to Safeco, the Metrodome (Humperdome as we used to call it), and SkyDome. I've also driven past Kaufman and Busch II while on the way to other places.Safeco kicks the out of the other two I've set foot in, hands down.Also, Wade Stadium in Duluth MN is a nice little park. Right on the lake, you can see the ships on Lake Superior coming in and out of port. Good times, and Wheat Belt on tap for $2.50/32 oz cup (in 1995).

FamousAtticus Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I took a "Baseball Road trip" this summer with a couple of friends and visited some nice ballparks, here is some that we visited as well as some I've been to in the past(in no order):Yankee Stadium- Bronx, NY...great experience for the final Red Sox/Yankees series in the park(the tour was fun as well)New Yankee Stadium- Bronx, NY...beautiful and expensive stadium- attended the first ever Subway Series game at the new stadium.Fenway Park- Boston, MA...bought some tickets atop of the Green Monster and drank w/ some Red Sox fans(crazy being an avid Yankee fan).Camden Yards- Baltimore, MD...One of my favorite parks from the list(at least the Orioles can claim they play in a superb park).Turner Field- Atlanta, GA...Good food, love some boiled peanuts.Progressive Field- Cleveland, OH...Great park to watch baseball in even w/ those pesky birds.Shea Stadium- Queens, NY...I went to a game there in 1989 against the Phillies, don't really remember too much(I was 7 years old).Tropicana Field- St. Pete., Fl...awful ballpark(if you can call it that)Dolphins Stadium- Miami, FL...this stadium reminds you that you are in a football stadium.Wrigley Field- Chicago, IL...So much history, great time and great drinking.I also made it out to Cooperstown and watched a little league game at Double Day Field(there was a little league tournament going on) as well as going to the Baseball Hall of Fame(a must for all true baseball fans).

Jigga Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Fake answer:I live in [MLB city]/I'm a [favorite MLB team] fan, so I think [the ballpark of your favorite team or in your city] is the bestest stadium in the whole league, EVAR!Real answer:I've been to/seen PNC Park, RFK Stadium, Camden Yards, Memorial Stadium, (new) Comiskey Park, Citizens Bank Park, and Miller Park. I used to think Camden Yards was the nicest I had seen...until I went to PNC Park. That place is freaking awesome. Too bad those both PNC's and Camden's tenants suck ass so hard.

gingerbreadmann Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've only seen a game at Fenway, but walked around Camden and the new Natstown. They're both really nice, especially Camden. Natstown would be if it was in a different area, I feel. Of course I love Fenway, but if it were as nice as, say, Camden, that would be awesome.

tBBP Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Been to several games at PNC Park. Not a bad seat in the house. Stadiums I've seen/driven by:Tigers Stadium - saw it during a trip to the D during All-Star yearComerica Park - lovely place. IIRC, the stadium is actually built into the ground. (Someone confirm?)Citizens Bank Park (or whatever the Phillies call their stadium) - drove by it a couple timesCamden Yards - (used to) drive by it often on the way to the ESPNZone on Baltimore's Inner HarborYankee Stadium - saw it while riding through the BronxCiti Field - Saw it while riding through Queens(Whatever the Nationals call their) Stadium - was just curious as to what it looked like, so I drove by it *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main concourse is on street level, and the lower bowl is underground. The field is 23' below street level.

winters in buffalo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've only been to Wrigley and Shea. Shea was a turd hole. They should have leveled it back in the 60s. Wrigley was great. Sure, it's severely dated, but it takes you back to a simpler time. When baseball was just baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
