Once again, I picked Yankee Stadium. Fenway sucks, and I've never been to PNC Park or whatever it's called.

Fenway is one of the last old school stadiums from before the concrete donut era. I don't like the new or old yankum stadium at all, and names like citi field, citizens bank park, etc... sorry, doesn't get my team spirit going.

As they sang in the broadway play:
TRADITION!!!!!!
No stadium anywhere has the tradition of Yankee Stadium. Period.

All in all I have to say PNC park.
It is the only one that has the luxury of having both modern amenities as well as an intimate setting with a spectacular view.

Must explain why they're tearing it down. Bravo Mr. Steinbreiner! Bravo!! Replacing a historic landmark!
I go with Fenway, since they're smart enough to keep a historic landmark up.

Every older park has it's own tradition. It's not all about "26 rings" bla bla bla.
Of course now that almost every park is new, to a degree, that kind of nonsense is over. That place the Marlins play in will have far more 'tradition' ( & rings) then any park that opens next year.
Sorry kids, "tradition" isn't transferable.
Give me PNC ! The most beautful view of any ballpark anywhere, anytime !

PNC looks great and I want them to replace Wrigley with something that good but you cannot beat Yankee Stadium.
Lets be honest here. Even if you hate the Yankees you know that you wish that your own team had half the history that they have.
Besides the championships, the list of players to wear that uniform almost seems like mythical people that were made up now.
Yankee Stadium is the place and I regret that I never got to see it at least once.

Okay... I guess that I was swayed by the fact that Yankee Stadium is about to bite the dust. That and a few beers.
I will go with PNC. To beat out the historic parks like Wrigley, Yankee Stadium and Fenway says a lot about the great job they did on the place.

This poll is about a building, though. That's what people are confused about.
This isn't about how many wins they have there and such. Is it a nice place to see a game?
Also, you have all summer to go to Yankee Stadium!

You've got to realize Fenway won't last forever. My guess is it will be gone within 10-15 years. Same with Wrigley. The simple fact is that these buildings were not made to last forever. They are made out of concrete, steel and brick; not marble. As other people have mentioned, wrigley has all kinds of netting to protect the fans from falling debris. And the funny thing is that is probably the lowest on the list of reasons why the Cubs would replace it! Just watch, it's only a matter of time before the owners convince the right people that they "can't compete" in those old parks.

Again I voted for fenway since it is old, still looks old, and has cool quirks like the monster and the short fence in right field. As far as tradition goes, it has a ton such as: loyal fans, memorable moments, and a really bad movie (fever pitch).

You are right and that is why I changed my mind and voted for PNC.
Yea, I gotta try to get there before the end comes.
