I'd say for soccer it would probaly be that Nike Turf I think it's called. For football if you like the flat and not muddy ground Nike Turf is the best, if it's raining during a football game you always have to go with grass in my mind.
 For baseball it's grass and only grass. Artificial Turf for baseball is horrible. Just my thoughts.

Best field would have to be Old memorial stadium in baltimore.The Worst is old comiskey park.Cause when the orioles played the sox in chicago after a rain delay back in 1979 the field was in terrable shape had to be postponed because they had disco night 10 days ago.I cant find that pic but boy i was upset when i turned my TV on as the umpires were looking all over the field and decided to call the game.I said to myself,,Im glad we dont have the worst groundscrew in baltimore.

The best playing field is definately Fenway Park, mostly because from what I saw during the season, it's easy to get runs by hitting the CF wall. Worst is probably the Metrodome or some stadiums that currently are multi-purpose stadiums (both holds Football and Baseball). (Busch Stadium used to have football games)
Why? Because the playing field is awkward compared to natural baseball stadiums, and you get seats that are meant for football or whatever sport.

Alot of the cookie-cutter parks had brutal turfs. A bad one was certainly the old one at Olympic Stadium. Alot of football players have gotten bad injuries on that turf as well.

If you bothered to know anything about the game, you would know that Montreal sold the fieldturf after the Expos left. But, that would just get in the way of you being an idiot, and we can't have that. Stade Olympique is completely devoid of any aesthetic value whatsoever. Hopefully some day you'll get out of your pathetically ugly city of Montreal to understand that.

Try to sell our team to an idiot like Jeffrey Loria who sold the franchise to the MLB a year later. Try to make us believe that we were about to have a new baseball venue in the downtown area and never build it. Give us a closed roof in summer when it's about -40 degrees celcius in winter. Don't even try to give us a TV deal. We only got 20 games per season on TV. Look, I have nothing against you. I just hate those Blue Jay fans enjoying the fact that Montrealers were unfortunate the past few years.

They gave up because they weren't TRUE baseball fans. How many real baseball fans did you know of before the strike that don't still love the game and support it? Where I'm from (northeastern PA), people drive for hours to go to games in Philly, New York, Boston, and Pittsburg to see games. We love our baseball. How many people from Montreal make that kind of commitment, even now without a team?
My market does have minor league ball (the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, AAA club of Philly, for one more year). When Philly goes in another direction and gets a team in Allentown, we will be filling Lackawanna County Stadium with a tenant before one fan can bat an eye over losing our beloved Barons. Real baseball fans will never, and I mean NEVER give up on the game.

The same situation is happening right now with the Marlins. They struggled to get a new stadium deal and their attendance average is sinking down the toilet. It went from 26 000 to 19 000. You can see the differance. Could you even believe that the Expos had no ownership. No TV deal. No new stadium. Nothing. How could the fans follow baseball like that. And the Phillies, on the other hand, have good ownership a bran new stadium, succsesful team, TV deals, (You haven't been screwed).... I heard the ballpark is far from downtown Philadelphia....is that true??? And where do you think the Marlins will land by the year 2009?

Just wanted to clarify that we are "screwed" in the fact that we are losing our beloved Red Barons.
CBP is right next to Lincoln Financial Field (home of the Eagles). I have not yet been to CBP, but I have been to Lincoln Financial, and walking by, CBP looks really nice (can't see inside, though). It is in a nice area some distance from downtown, so it's not in a bad location at all! I would like to see a team in Vegas. Some people think they can't support a team, but I think they are wrong. Vegas is the fastest growing city in the country; it could support the nation's greatest game. The 51s might lose some, but MLB would benefit, in my opinion. There are also the people who are concerned with the gambling aspect of it, but Vegas would have no more control over them than they would over any other team, PROVIDED casino owners and their "boys" would have no ownership in it whatsoever -- bring in someone from out of state. Other than Vegas, and possibly the Carolinas (and even there, they have the developmental leagues), I don't know if there is another market that can support a big-league team. Just my two pennies.

I wonder how the field at Dolphin Stadium compares to some of the others. I'm sure it gets much worse during football season, especially now that the Miami Hurricanes play there too, but I'm convinced we have the best grounds crew in the majors. Dealing with the downpours and the field conversions and keeping it always looking good is a tall order. It's the only major league field I've ever walked on before, and it sure looks nice up close. By comparison, some of the other parks always have dead spots in the summer
