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.

I been to Dodger stadium, Angels The Big A, Seattle, Old Padres (Jark Murphy), Candlestick (SF), Wrigley, White Sox, I think that is it
Im doing a west coast swing to knock the Cali teams off my list this summer, feel like saving Wrigley for last because I have been told its a “experience” lol. Of those parks you visited which was your favourite?.
I go to dodgers stadium all time, as far as atmosphere Dodger stadium, Wrigley and White Sox were fun, I left out MIL. I want to visit Fenway and Yankee stadium. Dodger Stadium is i think the 3rd oldest stadium now behind Fenway and Wrigley. The rest of those stadium were nice but boring. It is all good, Dodger stadium rocks and the Fans shake that stadium at times, No other stadium I been to fans do not really get into the game like dodger stadium. My list is short at the moment. Bucket list is Fenway and Yankees, I would like to visit them all.

@bob_loblaw1984 said in Favourite parks to visit:
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.
Yeah Wrigley was awesome.

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
.Yeah you know...I can't stay away from any good baseball conversation..
Now I'm gonna attempt mini seasons and hope it works.Mini season was working good for me last night and I was worried I would get L when I won or not of my stats count. It was good for me.

I did not care for Miller Park, It was nice and got to see CC Sabathia pitch for MIL.

I would go to my great grandmothers house almost every weekend and watch dodger games with her or listen to them on the radio. I rather listen on Radio then watch the game. I guess it comes from those days as a kid. Vin Scully was awesome to listen to, He would talk about the history of the players from both teams and tell story as he did play by play.

Cough, Cough the best is the Dodger, Giants rival, Last playoff series was awesome. Alot of history with the older clubs. Dodgers, Giants, Pirates, Cards, Cubs, Reds, Phillies, Yankee, Redsox, White Sox and Indians.
I left out the Tigers and maybe a few others.

I've been to:
Turner field (Braves)
3 Rivers and PNC park (Pitt)
Safeco/T-Mobile Park (Mariners)
Camden Yards
New Yankee Stadium
The Old Vet and whatever their new stadium is called (Phillies)
Nationals ParkSeattle's was by far my favorite which I went to 2 games at back in 2017. Growing up a Griffey fan and seeing a stadium with his statue out front and one where it opened when he was the shining star there (right before the injuries), it hit me with so much nostalgia. I'm an East Coaster so being there for a few Mariners' games was an amazing trip that I was able to cross off my bucketlist,
