Slightly off topic, but this is on top Jacobs/Progressive Field:

Since when?

[theSLVRBCK]

Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville ... home of the Jacksonville Suns of the Southern League. And where I see almost ALL of my baseball games, only other park I've made it to at all is Turner Field for a game.

From Home Plate .... you can just make out Everbank Stadium (Jacksonville Jags) out to right field and the Matthews Bridge (one of the seven major bridges that crosses the St. Johns River) out in right-center.

From the Third Base side, you can take in all of Everbank Stadium and another bridge, the Hart Bridge.

From the First Base side ... you can just see Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum (Jacksonville Sharks) peaking over the top of the roof. This is one of the best shots I can find of the little church just outside of the park in left.

Realy wish I had some better pics. These really do not do the field justice.

You gave us three. Now stop being a Homer.

Spring Mobile Ballpark in Salt Lake City

 

 

That is incredible.

I didn't see if anyone share this yet but I thought this one was pretty cool when I caught a game at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard, where the Bridgeport Bluefish play..

 

 

I've been there! My friend and I had seats that were as close to the Bluefish dugout as you can possibly get. There is a railway right next to the stadium, and the passing trains are cool during the game!

 

I've seen it from the train. I always thought it looked like a pretty nice little ballpark.

Speaking of trains, you can see them pass by all the time at Syracuse's Alliance Bank Stadium. They also have their horns wailing as they are about to enter the Syracuse train station. However, that's about it for skylines there

Now if the Carrier Dome was open roofed like Archbold Stadium was back in the day, that would be quite a spectacular view

It sure would.

Not a baseball stadium, but Soldier Field has a nice view of the Chicago skyline, something that both Chicago ballparks lack.

[marlinfan]

Some of these are gorgeous. Even the one with a power plant next to it. The way it looms in the background is neat.

You clearly haven't looked at many of these other ones then, have you?

Maybe not the best "Skyline" but I've always been facinated with the CITGO sign across the way at Fenway.

Eh, you really can't see it that well from inside the park anymore with the monster seats and ads in the way.

This thread was over when PNC and Spring Mobile Park were posted, those are some increadible views.

Yeah. It's a shame.

I always found it funny how Fenway has 3 different gas company signs; Citgo, Hess, and Gulf.

[NJTank]

I always though the Citgo sign was from a local gas station

Nope. Side view of the sign which is just on top of a building.

The sign is massive though. You see it before you even see the park.

[sportstar1212]

nvm, pmoehrin beat me to it.

I love this thread so much.

Louisville Slugger Field

Actually, most of the field faces the bridge to Indiana, and downtown is behind the 3rd base line. Here is a pic I took

I've been to my share of ballparks, here are some good ones
