Indianapolis' AAA team has an AWESOME field. The grounds are beautiful.
A close second would be Louisville Slugger Field in Louisville, KY. Another top notch field. Most major league parks suck imo. AAA is where its at.

I've seen in my life:
Bank One Ballpark Dodger Stadium Edison Field Qualcomm Stadium Network Associates Coliseum Pac Bell Park The best is Pac Bell. Pac Bell Park is simply stunning. Being right on the water with a view of the bay is cool. Also it kind of has a cozy feel.

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. -Mikey Last edited by MikeyChalupa; 07-31-2003 at 09:26 AM.. |

rrf- I've always thought the view at PNC Park looks awesome when watching the games on television, but I've never been there in person.
I'm actually considering taking an extended trip next summer and trying to visit every MLB ballpark in the league. Until then, I'll refrain from giving my opinion on the best stadium in baseball. |

I've been to most of the parks as a part of work (rough life, eh?), and I've got to say that I love Pac Bell. It really depends on what you're there for, though. If I want to just go watch a game, Yankee Stadium is great, even if they do let the DH and there are bunch of Yankee fans there. I just go to root for whoever the Yankees are playing, but that's me.
If I want to go for the experience, you just can't beat Wrigley in the summer. The bleachers are absolutely crazy, and if you can get seats down low on the lower deck in the sun, life can be very good. I've been to the past 7 Opening Days there, and I can wholeheartedly say that I'd just as soon be anywhere else until about the 4th, when I'm pretty much looped. Pac Bell has the best total package, and Dodger has the best food (although US Cellular in Chicago is pretty good, too. Try the funnel cake!), what with the Dodger Dogs and all. However, one of my all time favorites was the Riverside Pilot's stadium in Riverside, CA. I lived literally next door for a year and was there 4 times a week. Lots of fun, even if they committed more errors than a rookie trying to convinced Halx to reinstate the TB.

As few as I have been to, I do have to vote Camden Yards.

Out of the four or five major league parks I've been to, Fenway would be my favorite. However, living in a AAA city, you couldn't ask for a sweeter ballpark than this one. Tickets for $5.00, sixteen oz. of beer for $2.50, and some nice ball being played as well. Rochester's Frontier Field, home to the Twins triple A team.

Can't like Rochester, since they let a few losing years get in the way of a 40+ year relationship with the Orioles.
Amusingly, the Ottawa Lynx, our new affilliate, are 4 games better then the Wings, and that low due to the call-ups of their best players.
