Which ballpark has the least amount of leg room in your opinion? For me, I don't know because I've only been to three major league ballparks (Shea, Busch and Yankee Stadium). It's very annoying when there is little room to walk or sit down, and some ballparks don't really have that much leg room. There are ballparks with even worse leg room, but that's my opinion because I've not been in many ballparks yet.

The Tier Reserved (aka Upper Stand pre-renovation) at Yankee Stadium is really tight.

Loge Box and Grandstand at Fenway are rather tight.

I've never been there but that's what I've heard too. Americans are in general a little taller and a lot heavier than they were in 1912 when Fenway opened.
In Yankee Stadium, I once sat in the next to last row of the first deck, just where the stadium curves in left field. The seat rows are straight, but the stadium is curved... To make the rows fit, they signiicanty diminished the leg room... I am tall and could not fit in the seat at all.... Worse than the upper deck.... we could not sit there...

Upper deck skydome/rogers centre awful, lower and 200 level is fine ... not that I ever go there anymore for baseball.
Olympic Stadium had plenty of leg room everywhere, the place was huge .. the only problem was in latter years there was plenty of room in every direction! :ughh

Agreed. Although that may not be the case within a few years as their last renovation scheme is to widen the seats. I'm not sure if this means the leg room will increase or not.

Olympic Stadium had a pretty nice thing going...cheap tickets, easy-to-get great seats, lots of comfortable space. Too bad it was missing the quality baseball and fanbase. :D

Best record in baseball 1979-1994. Poor ownership and resulting lack of corporate support is what did them in not the average fan.

Is that really true? Because I didn't know that. Poor Expos, if it wasn't for the strike in 1994 they probably would of won a World Championship that year.

I'm 6'2" and have no problem at all with the 500 level for leg room

I thought exposhistory meant that over the 16 seasons from 1979 to 1994 inclusive, the Expos had the best cumulative record.
