Best Stadium

My favorite ballpark is Miller Park, but of course thats because im from Milwaukee. Miller Park is great but Busch Stadium i think would have to be the best.

Busch Stadium

I was actually talking about new Busch Stadium as the best ballpark but old Busch was even better.

I really like AT&T Park. I like how it's downtown, and it sits right on the water.

I can't decide between the Metrodome or Tropicana.

There are two ballbarks that stand out in my mind as the best in baseball.
Safeco Field and Jacobs Field. These two ballparks don't get nearly the respect which they deserve.

They got respect when they opened, but when every new park these days has as much disparity as Coke and Pepsi, it's hard to get excited about cola. Some people still like a good sasparilla. I'm curious as to what makes them stand out so much above the other places in your eyes.

I'd say Wrigley, but some of the new parks are challenging it.
There are SO many parks I haven't been to yet, though. Hard for me to give a qualified opinion.
Had a chance to check out Miller a few years ago, but my bro-in-law insisted on taking us to the state fair instead. Nothing like seeing a carny pretending to be a snake man instead of a ballgame...

After some deliberation, I think I will have to go with Safeco Field in Seattle on this one.

best park

What are reasons for 'best'? Comfort? City view? Easy to get to and leave? tailgaiting? prices?

I've been to 12 ballparks. Fenway is, of course, my favorite. But it would only be comfortable if I were as big as a Smurf, rich and lived in an apt. in downtown Boston.

Sitting in a hotel room in Toronto and having one of the room's walls as a window to see the Red Sox is something every sport's fan must experience. It's pricey but worth it.

Comfort? Miller Park in Wis. has great seats, good prices and cheap beer.

Atmospere? San Diego's old ballpark Qualcomm was the tailgate atmospere of your dreams. Warm, train right to ballpark, hot women growing on trees.

U.S. Cellular is very nice. Chicago is a America's best big city, hands down, no matter what side of it you're on. Great prices and a good looking ballpark. Getting to and from? Not so much...

Anaheim's rock sculpture in centerfield made me want to drive back to the irport.

But the best kept secret in sports is Comerica in the big D. Cheap tickets and a ballpark that's nice to look at. One doesn't need to tailgate when the surrounding blocks are filled with sweet bars offering drinks and food at reasonable prices. Detroit Beer Company tops my list as "Best Bat" near a ballpark. Come on, it's brewed there. $2 pints anyone? Ever heard of Casinos that need your business? D has them, with slots and tables that pay. Yes, we all know that Detroit is struggling with crime and whatever else but I won't let that effect my decision that Comerica is the best ballpark in America.

AT&T Park. Liked them better when they were just named once when they opened and keep the same name.

Nice pick!

Must be annoying to be a Giants fan. I hate the name "Rodgers Centre", and it's the only time that it's ever been changed. I can imagine that people just call it "the place where the Giants play" because they can't remember the name of the damn place.

I like many, I like Wrigley, cause is the way baseball used to be played in its golden years. Its just really beauiful and fun to be at. The bleachers have to give it an edge over Fenway. Fenway would be a close 2nd, then Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, and AT&T Park (wasnt it Pac Bell park?)
