Been to:

Yankee
Shea
Kauffman (back when it was still Royals Stadium and had turf)
Wrigley
Old Comiskey
New Comiskey (Fuck US Cellular)
Busch
Riverfront (Rest in pieces)
Cleveland Municpal Stadium (The Mistake by the Lake)
Tropicana Field

And of all of those, I still say Yankee Stadium is the best place to watch a ballgame. Forget about the history, ambience, Monument Park, and all that for a minute. It's just a comfortable place to watch a game. The food is good, the fans are the most knowledgeable in the game, and you can be pretty sure your team will kick the crap out of the visitors.

Next is Kauffman. Back when I visted in the early 90's it still had the astroturf field and I STILL thought it was the best park on my midwest trip. The bright red seats, the fountains, the awesome sunset over the outfield, and the friendliest ushers I've seen at ANY sports venue. Plus, right next door is another beautiful stadium. Arrowhead, and I love it when a city has two top-notch facilities sharing parking lots like that. I can only imagine how much nicer it is now that there's real grass on the field.

The worst? Shea and Riverfront. I HATE those baseball/football combo stadiums and I'm glad there's only a few left. Busch at least has personality, rabid fan support (The fans wear more red than the players) and the arch that peeks over the top and is visible from most parts of the park.
