I’ve been to 12 ballparks. I’m from San Diego so I’m biased, but Petco really is one of the best. I really liked Minute Maid Park when I went there (epic duel between Roger Clemens and Jake Peavy).
The Diamondbacks ballpark is nice, too.

Petco is a ton of fun, more for the sights less about the baseball.
I went to Yankee stadium (the last one) and Shea stadium and those were pretty exciting just because of the history.
Chase Field is really cool and seeing Randy Johnson pitch there on opening day the year after their championship was an incredible experience.
Safeco and Angels stadium are also nice. Dodgers stadium has just the best fans......pause for laughter. Sorry @dbarmonstar_PSN. It's actually a fun Park.
My bucket list- Minute Maid Park, Busch Stadium, Fenway, Wrigley, PNC, honestly I'm sure I'd enjoy any ballpark.
Was wondering when you would chime in

I just moved to Arizona so I'll have to check out Chase Field. I'm still in awe of how awesome Spring Training was and this was a short one.

.Yeah you know...I can't stay away from any good baseball conversation..
Now I'm gonna attempt mini seasons and hope it works. -
Got to go to one of the last games at Shea Stadium before it got tore down. Saved up money from my first full time job and bought tickets for myself and my parents. Got to see Santana pitch a shutout and keep the playoff hopes alive before they botched it the next day.
Aside from that I've been to Citi Field a bunch of times, really nice place. Super easy to get back on the highway when you leave which is a big plus. I will be excited to go after they unveil that Tom Seaver statue tomorrow -
Best
- PNC
.
.
. - Minute Maid (biased)
- Philly
Worst:
47. Olympic
46. Shea
45. Oakland Alameda - PNC
-
I have some bias, but Wrigley Field. Such a unique experience if you do it right. PNC and Oracle Park are also great.
Otherwise I’ve been to Fulton County Stadium, Turner Field, old and new Busch Stadium, Nationals Park, Great American Ballpark, US Cellular, and Miller Park.
Excited to go to Fenway this summer.

How was Miller Park? That looks like it would be a blast especially in a playoff atmosphere.

It’s fun as a Cubs fan. Atmosphere was odd…like a home game for the away team. I’m used to receiving a lot of friendly banter in my blue cap at STL.

Oh I bet. My Grandpa was from Brooklyn and was a die hard bums fan. My Grandma was from Chicago and loved her Cubbies. They moved to St. Louis where my mom was born and they had a 3 way divide. I fell in line with my mom because she fed me....but it was fun growing up with three rabid NL fans. And of course my Dad is from SF which made it even more complicated. I know nobody asked for an ancestry.com report.
All that said, they had such fun rivalries.

Lol. Nah man. That’s good stuff. Sounds like a fun childhood. Nobody in my family liked baseball. I have my uncle to thank for that. He was a Braves fan and loved Aaron as a kid.

Great team to grow up with. How could anybody not love Aaron?
That's how my family was with rock n roll. I had to discover that on my own. But baseball is definitely in the blood.
My mom cried the other day when Pujols hit his first HR back with the Cards. I laughed but then had to run out of the room so she didn't see my tears. Hahahahaha.
I'm bummed the Cubs tore it down last year but I think you're already on the way back up with Seiya, Wisdom, Schwindell, Stroman and Madrigal. It's always a fun division when the Cubs and Cards are competitive. Remember a few years ago when the Pirates, Cubs and Cards had the 3 best records in the NL? That's NL baseball at its best.

Remember it well. 2015. I went to nearby STL to watch the Cubs win a playoff game there. Great game and atmosphere.

Yeah the Cards went in that series cocky and got humbled for sure. These types of threads are far more my speed haha. I can argue politics all day and you voiced many of my opinions but I'd much rather talk baseball.

PNC is pretty amazing

I feel ya. I can talk to anyone about baseball. Politics was like bloodsport in my family. I grew up with very different views than I have now, out of necessity. So glad I was open-minded when I left home…20 years ago. Holy [censored] I’m old.

Dodger Stadium, the big a, petco, Oracle, Wrigley, PNC, Camden, old Yankee Stadium, Meiji Jingu Stadium.
Dodger Stadium is home. PNC and Camden are well worth it. Baseball in Japan is it's own special category.
Give me nice weather, an outdoor stadium, and a cold beer and you can call that place Iowa for all I care.

I've only been to 3 mlb parks, but live in MA. and go to Fenway a few times a year. Fenway is my favorite, but I am a Red Sox fan. For anybody who likes to check out MLB parks.... you must check out Fenway sometime, you can't beat the historic nostalgic feeling you get in this 100+ year old park.
