raysfan24 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I recently did a topic in the Concepts section on what would MLB stadiums look like if they were backwards. It got me the idea, How would the community rank the MLB Stadiums. You can rank you're top 10, Top 5, or even rank all of them. I DON'T CARE! If you have attended a game at the stadium, great! If not, it's ok! Just rank them. I've only been to like 20 so I can't rank them all on experience. I just want an idea. At least put you're favorite and you're least favorite. *= Been there1. Fenway Park*2. Wrigley Field*3. Camden Yards*4. New Yankee Stadium*5. Marlins Park6. Nationals Park*7. Coors Field8. Chase Field*9. Petco Park*10. Citizens Bank Park*11. PNC Park*12. Dodger Stadium13. Great American Ballpark*14. Citi Field15. Miller Park16. Safeco Field*17. AT&T Park18. Minute Maid Park*19. Target Field20. Progressive Field*21. Commerica Park*22. Turner Field*23. Rogers Centre*24. Kauffman Stadium (with renovations)*25. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington26. Busch Stadium*27. US Cellular Field28. Angel Stadium*29. O.co Coliseum30. Tropicana Field*I know there will be some disagreement even though they are my opinions.I updated my list based on the actual stadium its self.

BBTV Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What is this based on? I highly doubt there's many (if any) on here who have been to all of the stadiums, so you're basing it solely on what they look like on TV (aside from the inevitable "my team's stadium rox!!!" posts.) There are a lot of factors that make a stadium great or suck that have nothing to do with anything you see during a TV broadcast.

I based the ones I haven't been to by what other people have said about them. I placed my team very last so I didn't base mine of my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's going to turn into What Stadiums Should Be Destroyed in the graveyard. That's just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Of those that I've been to:1. Wrigley Field (multiple occasions)2. Nationals Park (multiple occasions)3. Safeco Field4. Oriole Park at Camden Yards (multiple occasions)5. PNC Park 6. Coors Field7. AT&T Park (I attended the game AFTER Bonds's 756th homer.)8. Citizens Bank Park (multiple occasions)9. Great American Ballpark (can't remember which game)10. Progressive Field (can't remember this one, either)11. Original Yankee Stadium (I threw Old Yankee in there just to show how disgusting and cluttered it was. )12. Dolphins Stadium (what it was called when I went)I linked to the game I was at if I have not been on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm not going to make a list because I've only been to 3 of the active stadiums in baseball. I will say that Great American Ballpark (the one I've been to the most) has improved by a lot in the last few years. It's no longer sitting in the middle of a construction site on the edge of the river. The neighborhood around it has built up so there's actually places to go and hang out before, during, and after the game. The Reds Hall of Fame is second only to Cooperstown in terms of baseball museums I've been to. Inside, the ballpark feels like it's settled. The Reds employees have figured out how to best use their stadium for the enjoyment of the fans. they've created a terrific atmosphere for baseball whereas some other stadiums give you the impression that people are there for something else while a baseball game unfolds to their left or right.

speedy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I can't believe Fenway Park is so high on some lists here. The place is a Rolls Royce with a golf cart's engine. There isn't a good seat in the house, it's cramped, and the sight lines are brutal. Not to mention if you go to an afternoon game you can pretty much guarantee the sun will be in your eyes for either the first 5 innings or the last 4. Besides it's history, quirkyness, and atmosphere (inside and out) the park really doesn't have THAT much going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpqmaowl Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I like reversed stadiums the best. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sat behind home at Dodger Stadium, I got that feeling too, but if you sit in another part of the ballpark, the atmosphere is pretty fun.One thing that I really, really hate is when the ushers are stern :censored:s about where you sit. I once was at a Padre game, and it was a day game with about half the stadium full. The game when into extra innings (It went to 18 IIRC), and around the 12th inning, I went to get better seats. I went to a section on the field level on the third base side that was pretty much empty. When I got there, the usher wouldn't let me through because I didn't have a ticket to that section. It was the freakin' 12th inning in a ballpark that had maybe 10-15K in it. Unless you're trying to get into the club level or behind home plate, most stadiums don't really care, which is cool. I can understand enforcing those rules when the place is filled, but when the park was mostly empty and the game was in extra innings? C'mon, that's BS!

infrared41 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Of the ones I've actually been to:1. Camden Yards2. Comerica Park3. Progressive Field4. Tiger Stadium5. Rogers Centre6. Riverfront7. Old Cleveland StadiumDead last. Tropicana FieldSince we're only doing MLB stadiums, I had to leave off quite a few minor league parks that would rank higher than a few of the MLB parks I've been to. For example; 5/3 Field in Toledo is probably my favorite ballpark. Bright House Field in Clearwater is pretty great too. Both of them would be in my overall top five.

Cujo Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I like the Cubs, so I'm gonna say Wrigley's the best. The worst is Busch cause the hated Cards play there. Yankee Stadium sucks too!/that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, I've never been in a Major League stadium and have only been outside in passing of three of them (Minute Maid, Coors, and Nationals), so I can't speak on in-game experience like many of you can. As far as watching a game on TV, though, Yankee Stadium, Fenway, and Wrigley have always been enjoyable. They just really give off a big-time baseball atmosphere, much like Madison Square Garden seems to give off that big-time basketball atmosphere. AT&T, Target, and Dodger Stadium are other ones I like to watch. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Camden Yards is my favorite park of the ones ive been to. Best atmosphere for a game, and I love Nats Park but Camden is much better.
