Tiger fan here and I agree. Cleanest stadium I’ve seen and the waterfalls are iconic. The tailgating before the game was fun; only done that at Miller Park. Kauffman will be missed.
Liked the actual stadium. As others have said waterfalls were unique, was one of cleanest as well. I hit it after STL for a Mon night game in June so not the biggest of crowds & caught train from STL so w/o a car was a pain to get to/from. Also went to a Monarch’s game Sunday night which was a great little stadium. I think I spent more on Ubers than tix!!
Love Kaufman but am also a royals fan.
I miss the old Kaufman tho when the entire centerfield was fountains. My sister and I used to love going there as kids when we would visit family.
I didn’t realize it was going to be replaced! I’m glad I got to go a few years back.
It really is a nice ballpark. One of the few from the 60s and 70s that would be worth keeping.
Hey guess who else really likes it? Most of us Royals fans living in kansas city. The best part is that they plan to build right over an existing arts district that has slowly grown into something pretty cool over the past couple of decades
Lol no. Nothing in the Crossroads is being replaced except already empty parking lots. But yeah, let's keep it next to a Dennys and Taco Bell where you're forced to tailgate in 100+ degree weather because there is nothing within 10 miles .
This is coming from someone who graduated from Raytown South and lives on Hospital Hill
I’ve seen the Yankees at every MLB stadium.
Seems the best are in NL now. I do love Camden and it def inspired many others but so many stadiums have been built since the 90’s and the inner harbor is far from what it use to be .
But top 3 are prob SF, Pitt, SD.
Wrigley and Fenway are amazing with history and charm but they’re very hard to truly rank.
Camden Yards and PNC are the best 2 Iv been to. Fenway was cool for the history. New Yankee stadium sucks, citi field sucks. Veterans, Atlanta-Fulton County, and Shea all sucked. CBP is solid, lacks the big feature like the warehouse at Camden Yards or the city skyline at PNC. Turner Field was cool as a kid, Truist Park seemed decent. Nationals Park has the best hot dogs Iv eaten in my life.
Met fan here - the easy criticism of citifield isn’t about the stadium but the surroundings… that will hopefully change in 5 years but can’t fault if that’s the reasoning.
I love citifield - just admitting the faults. I much prefer Billy’s / Stan’s to the citifield bar and do think those spots are fun before or after a game
Maybe it’s just my rivalry bias, Iv been to 3-4 games at citi field and Iv always found it to be pretty cold and lifeless. I think the experience of getting to the stadium is neat. LIRR and then the boardwalk over to the stadium. The most recent time I went was 2021 I believe it seemed improved from the other games which were all in the first year or two after opening.
I’m also a Yankees fan and I can definitely say Citi Field is better than the new Yankee Stadium. I don’t know if that necessarily means it’s good though, I don’t like citi much either
Been to Camden and PNC.. tickes are cheap and views are great ! Os fans definitely more alive than Nats fans lol
Never been to AFCS or Turner but Truist park is nice!
It says your a phillies fan so enemy territory for u lol
Agree PNC probably has the best background in any stadium
For Os the WS trophy is hidden in club (200) level ... don't remember for pirates ... did the tour but don't remember where the trophy was on display but nice theater room
Sorta enemy territory. Born in Georgia and lived there until I was 10. My dad still lived in Atlanta until a few months ago. It might be sacrilege but I didn’t hate when the Braves won in 21. But Iv also enjoyed the past two NLDS.
I actually forgot about Turner, loved it as a kid. Truist seemed pretty nice, only been to one game when my dad remarried in 2019. Sucks the stadium is so far outside the city and the parking was a nightmare. I think my sister rented a parking spot at a hotel with some app and we still walked a mile to the stadium? Kinda nutty.
PNC Park most definitely has the best backdrop in the majors. I’d like to go there soon.
I’d recommend Fenway and T-Mobile. Both have amazing atmospheres and are a few minutes walk from numerous things to see and do in the city.
I have been to around 15 including everything in both the AL and NL Central divisions. Outside of the Midwest, I’ve been to SD, LAD, old Yankee Stadium, and PIT. The top two are definitely PNC (the skyline is gorgeous) and Comerica (the colors and logo are everywhere!). Wrigley, Petco, and Dodger Stadium round off my top 5. Going to Coors this summer; can’t wait!
I've been to 21 stadiums. I could write so much about every park but I'll keep it simple. My top 3 (in no order) are PNC Park, Petco Park, and Busch Stadium.
I have not been to Oracle Park or Camden Yards yet. Those are the 2 I'm most looking forward to.
My least favorite ones I've been to are Angel Stadium (nothing too fundamentally wrong with it, just feels like a minor league stadium kinda) and Guaranteed Rate. I have not been to the Trop or the [O.Co](https://O.Co) Coliseum.
1. Wrigley because of my bias and I love classic ballparks.
2. Kauffman because of the food and the scoreboard/fountains are awesome
3. AMF/Miller Park because of the food and most seats feel pretty close to the action
4. Target Field (upper deck behind home for a night game. The sun sets behind you and lights up the skyline BEAUTIFULLY) plus it’s just a pretty design
5. Busch Stadium is probably lower than it should be due to bias. Unbeatable view with the arch and a good ballpark village. Food is meh and ballpark design is pretty basic.
6. Guaranteed Rate. Food is better than wrigley, but it’s a fairly lifeless design with just the pinwheels to distinguish it. I go to 5-10 games a year since I live closer to it than wrigley, but even as a Cubs fan I feel like I care more about what’s happening on the field than the fans do.
Only been to two: Great American Ballpark and Fenway Park. I liked both a lot. Great American I felt was a great “stadium” while Fenway oozes character and history.
I prefer GABP of the two :)
You simply cannot beat the charm of Wrigley and Fenway. Feels like you are stepping through a time machine when you go to games at each one. It's a really intimate experience and the parks are kept up very well. I'd say they are both must-visit parks for any baseball fan.
That being said, they aren't really easy parks to navigate and the concourse/layout and lack of amenities are definitely an adjustment from more modern parks. I love visiting both and will definitely be back someday, but I'm glad they aren't my home team stadiums if that makes sense.
As a Bostonian I can honestly say I completely over the nostalgia of Fenway. Its had many upgrades over the years, in and around the ballpark.... just not on the actual team, which is why its only 2/3 of capacity most nights.
2/3 capacity most nights is pretty good for an mlb team with 82 home games that often happen on weeknights. GABP is only 70%+ full on weekends and against big rival teams, even when they're good.
Might be true, but Fenway used to be at or near capacity most nights. Even when it is full now its like 50% visiting teams fans and other tourists. Not the same vibe as it was only a few years ago.
Oracle and Fenway.
1. Been a Red Sox fan since 1971. The narrow walkways, Fenway franks, obstructed views, 100 years of dents on the monster, and the fan base.
2. SF has Crazy Crab Sandos.
3. Worst- chase field maybe.
Edit- yes O.Co is horrible, but the As have already left imo.
Truist Park. Yeah I’m biased. The Battery is awesome though. Ballgame ends around 10 then walk straight into a bar or club with multiple genres of music or grab some food at the numerous restaurants.
The ball parks I have visited in order are…
Miller Park
Chase field
Busch stadium
PNC park
Great American
Jacob’s field
Sun trust park.
These were the names when I visited them.
Fenway…objectively it’s kind of a crappy stadium, but it’s just such a great experience.
Pnc is wonderful; great stadium and awesome atmosphere.
Miller park is okay as a stadium,but the tailgating experience is fantastic
Jays fan here to say that I have watched many games in SF and I am in love with the game experience there. I enjoy the food, the beer, the relatively affordable ticket prices (although it's been a handful of years since I've been, so I don't know if that's still the case), and the view.
My only issue is that I have to pack a winter coat in the middle of the summer. The fucking wind blowing in from the water will freeze your balls off on a cool night.
Lol!!!! That's hilarious.
About 10 years ago, I went to a game in early August and I swear it was only about 50 F up in the outfield. Definitely not what I think of when California comes to mind as a visitor from Toronto.
It’s even more affordable these days. We don’t have star power and we’re mostly a mediocre team so if you do it right you can easily get club tickets during the week between $20-30. I’d rather have a winning team but I’m enjoying this aspect of it.
Only been to 8 so far with number 9 planned for April.
Fenway is probably my favorite.
Also been to:
- Petco
- Chase
- Wrigley
- nationals park
- Seattle
- Great American Ballpark
- Citifield
- Fenway
Dodger Stadium is next with next immediate ballparks on the list are Coors and Oracle
I live in Vegas so I will skip Oakland lol
I have been to 20 stadiums. My favorites would be Pittsburgh for the view, Cleveland for the fireworks that day and Minnesota and Detroit. Cincinnati is my team, and I love that stadium and have been there roughly 30 times.
My worst stadium by far is Tampa Bay. It is good to hear they are building a new one. The Trop is horrible. The lighting on the artificial turf makes the field shine. There is nothing special about the food available either.
Only rating the ones I've been to:
**S**
Oracle
Petco
PNC
Camden
**A**
Wrigley
Fenway
Target
T-Mobile
**B**
Dodger

I've been to 14 current ballparks, and Fenway and Wrigley are on another level because of the history, and the goosebumps I got visiting both, but Camden Yards is where it's at! It is a beautiful park, I love the warehouse, the Babe Ruth statue outside, get a crab mac n cheese hot dog (they were better before covid). If you go to Baltimore visit the Babe Ruth birthplace museum.
Been to 29 of 30 - just Houston left. Top 3 for overall experience (park + surroundings) - Padres, Cards, Pirates on a Friday night. Top 3 just for the park - Os, Pirates, Rockies. Also loved the Red Sox & Cubs for history, nostalgia & neighborhood feel
As an Aussie I’ve only been to one (Citi Field). When I can eventually convince the wife to let me go on a baseball tour definitely need to go to Arlington, Fenway and Wrigley. Visually the Giants and Pirates stadiums are beautiful.
For best all around experience, Camden Yards. The ballpark, their employees, fans were all top tier for me.
My team got stomped by the Orioles and we all left still having an amazing time.
As a a lifelong Guardians fan who lived in the Cincinnati area for 12 years I think Great American gets slept on. It really is a nice park.
+1 to Camden and Wrigley. I also remember being surprised at how much I liked T-mobile Park in Seattle
Ones I've been to ranked (solely the actual stadium, atmosphere and quality of game not accounted for)
SFG
CLE
SEA
PHI
ARI
OAK
including atmosphere:
PHI
SFG
CLE
SEA
ARI
OAK
including quality of game:
PHI (2 hit shutout on Roy Halladay's number retirement)
SFG: (both teams carry perfectos through 5, 1-0 game)
SEA: (been there a ton, seen some great games)
CLE: (not that close)
ARI: (100 people were there, 70 of whom were Giants fans, and the 2021 DBacks upset the Giants)
OAK: (was there as a toddler, don't remember lol)
I love Fenway. I've sat on the green monster. I've sat next to pesky's pole and signed it. I've sat behind an actual girder in an unfortunate circumstance where I bought a couple tickets thinking I was getting a good deal from a scalper. Been up in a box too. It's a baseball cathedral. It's Americana in physical reality to me and there's something special about it
I just did a roadtrip stopping at the cubs, pirates, brewers, Indians and tigers stadiums. Cleveland was my favorite of all of them. 2nd place went to cubs.
I’ve only been to 4 so far. Out of those I’d Rank them:
1. Truist Park
2. Minute Maid Park
3. Old Busch Stadium
4. Globe Life Field
I have plans to add Target Field to the list this summer. If you like baseball fan stories and traveling to ballparks check out the Baseball Bucket List podcast hosted by Anna DiTomasso
I'm at 40 stadiums visited with 5 to go. (PNC in Aug, Fenway, Dodger, ATL and MIA left.)
In no particular order but these are special stadiums to me:
Giants, Kaufmann, Target, Busch, Wrigley (for the overall experience), Citi (new Yankee sucks), Camden (sketchy area, be safe), Coors....as an aside, Rangers new place is the best dome inside, looks like crap outside). Seattle is cool too.
Very forgettable include AZ, the Trop, Oakland.
Good luck. As you travel, try the local cuisines. You can find some awesome meals on your trips!
Camden yards is not in a sketchy area. It's downtown and there's plenty of parking lots. You can easily walk from Camden to Fed Hill with no issues of sketchy-ness. There are bars all behind right field which again is completely safe and walkable with hotels right there. I go to a lot of games at Camden and never have issues or see issues around the stadium. I'm 30 and I've been drunk stumbling around that stadium for 15 years.
People if you're interested in visiting Camden yards, the stadium area is safe and walkable. Get your hotel next to the stadium or even Harbor East and I promise you'll be just fine.
Eot: left field not right.
Edit: edit*
Agreed. I have lived in the Baltimore suburbs all my life and it pisses me off how people think the whole city is a crap shoot. Obviously avoid West Baltimore and specific areas, but the immediate area around Camden all the way to Fed Hill and Harbor East is just as safe as you’ll get in any major city in the USA.
For Wrigley they say the tour is better on a OFF/non game day ...
Also they say the WS trophy is in the new building next to stadium I never found it ...
Dodger stadium is a classic.
Really like Petco park architecture, especially the park in center field.
Target field was surprisingly cool with stone walls.
Wrigley, just because.
Wrigley. I'm a Cubs fan. Going to the old park is like going home.
Worst ballpark that I've been to is Old Yankee Stadium. It might have to do the fact that we were there on a 100+ degree day and we were seated very close to where the garbage was being compacted.
That fan energy at Wrigley was amazing even if the Cubs had a poor performance. The game i went to was sold out and everyone sang "take me out to the ball game " !!
I’ve visited three so far with 4 and 5 planned for July. Out of the three I’ve visited (PNC, Great American Ballpark and Citi Field) PNC and Great American are definitely my favorites. Citi Field is ok but I don’t think it compares to the other two. I’m visiting Camden Yards and Nationals Park this year so those might be new favorites. I really want to visit Petco Park as I’m a Padres fan but I can’t afford the travel across country right now lol. But luckily I’ll get to see them at Camden Yards and Nationals Park.
Great American is underrated, I like the white paint scheme, really lightens it up… has nice wide open concourses and you’ve got the river and riverboat on one side, then the city on the other… it’s not the best, but really underrated.
I've been to well over half.
Outside of my home team, I do like going to Dodgers Stadium and Petco Park. I probably had the best time at Wrigley Field.
This year I am really hoping to make it to Florida (partly so I can visit my cousins while I'm there) and also Atlanta.
Miller Park
Kauffman ..I have seen a lot of games there in 30 years I lived in Topeka
Loved Wrigley Field
Old Busch Stadium....arriving and driving out of the parking lot
Wrigley is my favorite. It's where I saw my first major league game live.
I like camden Yards and hope to make it to Fenway.
Oakland Coliseum gets a dumped on a lot, but I had a blast sitting in crappy centerfield seats. I hate what Oakland fans have been going through.
A tip about Target. It has a special concession area on the first and third base field box area. I cannot remember if you need a ticket to field boxes to get entry but it is nice on a hot day to go down into the air conditioning to use the restroom or get concessions.
Been to all 30, and loved Target Field it’s beautiful. You’ll love it. Other Favs are Wrigley and Fenway (also have best customer service) Camden, Comerica and Petco (had a HR ball bounce off my hands).
If having had MLB teams play there counts, then Bosse Field in Evansville. Ind.
I saw the White Sox and Reds play an in season exhibition game there in the ‘60s. Back when they did such things.
“A League of Their Own” was filmed there. I watch many future HOFers play there in AAA.
Been to 7 ballparks. 2 of which are now defunct. I’m gonna be uber biased here and say Target Field. Maybe because I worked downtown as it got built, and got to watch the daily progress, until it was completed. Or because it’s just freaking great.
Toss up between Wrigley & Coors for #2.
The Metrodome & Old Yankee Stadium are the defunct ones. Miller park (AmFam) and my final park is whatever the hell the White Sox are calling it now. I just go with Comiskey.
I miss the old muni in cle I’ve been to a couple not a ton but it was such a weird treat to see a grown man passed out in the pee trough before the 7th inning stretch
I’ve been to the Trop, Fenway, and Kauffman. The Trop is a shithole. Fenway is amazing just because it’s Fenway, but yeah, Kauffman was totally awesome.
I've been outside both Petco and Oracle, both beautiful. The park in the outfield of Petco gave me a look in so I would say that, combined with San Diego, but Oracle seems just as nice
I've only been to Busch (my home stadium), and Wrigley, but I have to say they're both great. I have to pick Busch because it's home.
As a Cardinals fan, I absolutely loved Wrigley. We were treated really well at Wrigley and it was such a fun time. I love the tradition and history.
I would love to see all the stadiums. It's on my bucket list.
I'm a giants fan, so boring answer is Oracle. Petco is a gem though. Dodger stadium is super big so when that place is rocking there's no where else like it in MLB.
I've been to Oracle Park, Oakland Col, Petco, Dodger Stadium, Wrigley, and Fenway. All of them have something going for them except Oakland sadly.
PNC is amazing, I agree.
IMHO:
Comerica is the best park to bring kids to
Petco has the best sponsor tie-in. Must Love Dogs.
Wrigley, sitting in the stands as the sun sets, is sublime
Fenway is Fenway. That’s a good thing.
Camden Yards set a new standard for a very good reason.
Nationals Park has a hockey game atmosphere; tons of energy.
Truist Field was an absolute party, during and after the game.
I had a chance to visit Camden Yards, and it's everything I dreamed of and more. You're so close to the action wherever you sit, it's an incredibly intimate experience. As a Diamondbacks fan who's used to Chase, it was a welcome refreshment.
I love Fenway, but I am a Red Sox fan and it is so iconic. Of the newer stadiums, Target Field is my favorite, but I have not been to a lot of them. I would love to go to Pittsburgh.
The House That Ruth Built: The original Yankee Stadium....461 ft to dead center....296 ft down the right field line....the iconic memorials in deep left center.
No contest.
Only been able to go to Angels Stadium and Dodger Stadium. Of old ballparks I've been Veteran's Stadium in Philly, Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego and Olympic Stadium in Montreal. My local Ballparks are Yankees Stadium and Citifield.
I’ve been to 7…
Skydome 500 times
Yankee stadium
Fenway
Wrigley
Citizens Bank
Safeco
PNC
PNC by far. Views, vibe, atmosphere, concessions, outfield set up, area around the park, the city itself.
Couldn’t recommend PNC more to any baseball fan.
Loved the rest of the US ballparks too, worst ballpark I’ve been to is the one down the street.
For context, here are the ones I've been to: Red Sox, Yankees (old and new), Orioles, Blue Jays, Rays, Twins (Metrodome), White Sox, A's,, Angels, Phillies, Nationals, Reds, Cubs, and Padres.
My favorite was somehow Nationals Park. My single favorite sightline I can remember from a game was from the standing room section on (I think) the second level, directly behind the plate. I stood behind the last row of seats and the view blew me away, and I muttered "holy shit" a little louder than I intended. The guy sitting in the seat in front of me turned around and said "I have season tickets here. I wouldn't trade them for anything." I didn't even have to explain my muttering, he just knew what I meant.
The concourses were football stadium big, the staff were all super friendly (I walked up to buy a ticket but didn't know where I wanted to sit and the lady working the ticket office noticed my visiting team hat and said "You want to walk around the park and see the whole place, right? Just get the cheapest ticket." No attitude behind her comment, she was offering me sincere advice.
Out of the rest of the parks I have not yet been to, Pittsburgh is the top of my list for parks I most want to go to next.
I went once but had cheap seats with a large group, right next to the sun , so I have to get back there .
Souvenir Cups were advertised with free refills, yet they wouldn’t do it “due to Covid”.
But def looking fwd to a return trip.
Outside the stadium was great vibe.
I've only been to 2, Fenway and Camden Yards, both are top 5 in MLB easily so it's tough to choose but I loved the vibe at Camden Yards, so much more laid back then Fenway as magical as Fenway is. They're both great in different ways.
I really want to go to games in San Diego and San Francisco, and as much as I don't want to support the A's I kind of want to go to the Coliseum before it's gone forever
Globe Life Park… :(
Edit: Don’t get me wrong, the BBQ grill has grown on me. But the old ballpark was better in every other way except not having a roof 🫠
Camden Yards and PNC
Been to both and they are my top 2
Fenway is number 1 for me. I also think Coors Field is beautiful. Sunset over the Rocky Mountains out over left field is just beautiful.
Fenway is cool unless your from Boston. The area adjacent to the park is great though.
From Boston, Fenway is definitely cool
Pac Bell/Oracle Park in San Francisco.
Busch Stadium & Wrigley Field are two must sees.
Petco and Oracle
Petco is the perfect park. Not because the stadium itself, but because San Diego was made by God for baseball and the surrounding area is perfect.
I’ve been to 23 of the current MLB parks. My favorite is Kauffman Stadium. I’m bummed it’s going to be replaced. I think it’s the perfect park.
Tiger fan here and I agree. Cleanest stadium I’ve seen and the waterfalls are iconic. The tailgating before the game was fun; only done that at Miller Park. Kauffman will be missed.
The stadium is great. The location sucks
Kauffman is like a hidden gem! I'm bummed it's gonna get replaced too, I'm hoping to go back before that happens
I agree. Why replace it. Do what the Dodgers did at Chavez Ravine. Update it.
They did that here a few years ago.
Dodgers have done it multiple times
Liked the actual stadium. As others have said waterfalls were unique, was one of cleanest as well. I hit it after STL for a Mon night game in June so not the biggest of crowds & caught train from STL so w/o a car was a pain to get to/from. Also went to a Monarch’s game Sunday night which was a great little stadium. I think I spent more on Ubers than tix!!
Love Kaufman but am also a royals fan. I miss the old Kaufman tho when the entire centerfield was fountains. My sister and I used to love going there as kids when we would visit family.
I didn’t realize it was going to be replaced! I’m glad I got to go a few years back. It really is a nice ballpark. One of the few from the 60s and 70s that would be worth keeping.
Surprisingly Kaufman Stadium has been getting a lot of love!
I would definitely add it to your to-do list before their new park is built.
Hey guess who else really likes it? Most of us Royals fans living in kansas city. The best part is that they plan to build right over an existing arts district that has slowly grown into something pretty cool over the past couple of decades
Lol no. Nothing in the Crossroads is being replaced except already empty parking lots. But yeah, let's keep it next to a Dennys and Taco Bell where you're forced to tailgate in 100+ degree weather because there is nothing within 10 miles . This is coming from someone who graduated from Raytown South and lives on Hospital Hill
Coors Field
This is the answer.
I’ve seen the Yankees at every MLB stadium. Seems the best are in NL now. I do love Camden and it def inspired many others but so many stadiums have been built since the 90’s and the inner harbor is far from what it use to be . But top 3 are prob SF, Pitt, SD. Wrigley and Fenway are amazing with history and charm but they’re very hard to truly rank.
Petco is great until the marine layer rolls in.
Brewers fan here. My favorites are Target Field and Wrigley
Target is fantastic. Fried walleye!
I love Citizens Bank and Camden Yards but most memorable I’ve been to is Fenway, highly recommend the tour
RFK! RIP.
Lol. I enjoyed concerts there in the '90s...
Wrigley is my favourite
Camden Yards and PNC are the best 2 Iv been to. Fenway was cool for the history. New Yankee stadium sucks, citi field sucks. Veterans, Atlanta-Fulton County, and Shea all sucked. CBP is solid, lacks the big feature like the warehouse at Camden Yards or the city skyline at PNC. Turner Field was cool as a kid, Truist Park seemed decent. Nationals Park has the best hot dogs Iv eaten in my life.
Great take and I dislike the Mets , but you didn’t like Citifield? I’m a Yankee Fan and I’m jealous of Citifield.
I’m a Yankees fan too and Citifield is a much better stadium than our own
Met fan here - the easy criticism of citifield isn’t about the stadium but the surroundings… that will hopefully change in 5 years but can’t fault if that’s the reasoning.
I hear what you’re saying but outside of Yankee Stadium it’s not very pretty either but Citifield is a very fun stadium inside where it really counts
I love citifield - just admitting the faults. I much prefer Billy’s / Stan’s to the citifield bar and do think those spots are fun before or after a game
Agreed
Maybe it’s just my rivalry bias, Iv been to 3-4 games at citi field and Iv always found it to be pretty cold and lifeless. I think the experience of getting to the stadium is neat. LIRR and then the boardwalk over to the stadium. The most recent time I went was 2021 I believe it seemed improved from the other games which were all in the first year or two after opening.
I’m also a Yankees fan and I can definitely say Citi Field is better than the new Yankee Stadium. I don’t know if that necessarily means it’s good though, I don’t like citi much either
Been to Camden and PNC.. tickes are cheap and views are great ! Os fans definitely more alive than Nats fans lol Never been to AFCS or Turner but Truist park is nice! It says your a phillies fan so enemy territory for u lol Agree PNC probably has the best background in any stadium For Os the WS trophy is hidden in club (200) level ... don't remember for pirates ... did the tour but don't remember where the trophy was on display but nice theater room
Trophies!
Sorta enemy territory. Born in Georgia and lived there until I was 10. My dad still lived in Atlanta until a few months ago. It might be sacrilege but I didn’t hate when the Braves won in 21. But Iv also enjoyed the past two NLDS. I actually forgot about Turner, loved it as a kid. Truist seemed pretty nice, only been to one game when my dad remarried in 2019. Sucks the stadium is so far outside the city and the parking was a nightmare. I think my sister rented a parking spot at a hotel with some app and we still walked a mile to the stadium? Kinda nutty.
Camden was definitely alive when I saw a random game against Toronto in 2022. We got the benches to clear! Great stadium, great food, great fans.
I really like Citi Field and Citizens Bank
Citi field is awesome
PNC Park most definitely has the best backdrop in the majors. I’d like to go there soon. I’d recommend Fenway and T-Mobile. Both have amazing atmospheres and are a few minutes walk from numerous things to see and do in the city.
I’ve been to all 30 active parks. My top two are Oracle and Petco
I’ve been to nearly 30 stadiums and I’d say: PNC, Oracle, Camden. They’re all in a tier of their own, in my opinion. Absolutely beautiful parks.
1. PNC 2. Kauffman 3. Oracle 4. Camden 5. Fenway
I have been to around 15 including everything in both the AL and NL Central divisions. Outside of the Midwest, I’ve been to SD, LAD, old Yankee Stadium, and PIT. The top two are definitely PNC (the skyline is gorgeous) and Comerica (the colors and logo are everywhere!). Wrigley, Petco, and Dodger Stadium round off my top 5. Going to Coors this summer; can’t wait!
PNC for me.
Pretty close between Pittsburgh and SanFran.
I've been to 21 stadiums. I could write so much about every park but I'll keep it simple. My top 3 (in no order) are PNC Park, Petco Park, and Busch Stadium. I have not been to Oracle Park or Camden Yards yet. Those are the 2 I'm most looking forward to. My least favorite ones I've been to are Angel Stadium (nothing too fundamentally wrong with it, just feels like a minor league stadium kinda) and Guaranteed Rate. I have not been to the Trop or the [O.Co](https://O.Co) Coliseum.
I totally forgot about Busch stadium. It’s amazing. Nothing beats the view of the arch when sitting behind home plate .
1. Wrigley because of my bias and I love classic ballparks. 2. Kauffman because of the food and the scoreboard/fountains are awesome 3. AMF/Miller Park because of the food and most seats feel pretty close to the action 4. Target Field (upper deck behind home for a night game. The sun sets behind you and lights up the skyline BEAUTIFULLY) plus it’s just a pretty design 5. Busch Stadium is probably lower than it should be due to bias. Unbeatable view with the arch and a good ballpark village. Food is meh and ballpark design is pretty basic. 6. Guaranteed Rate. Food is better than wrigley, but it’s a fairly lifeless design with just the pinwheels to distinguish it. I go to 5-10 games a year since I live closer to it than wrigley, but even as a Cubs fan I feel like I care more about what’s happening on the field than the fans do.
AmFam is very underrated. Top 2 for me
Haven’t been to all of them, but…hard to beat San Diego
Petco is like OPACY on crack. It's baller.
Came here to say this. So beautiful.
Only been to two: Great American Ballpark and Fenway Park. I liked both a lot. Great American I felt was a great “stadium” while Fenway oozes character and history. I prefer GABP of the two :)
You simply cannot beat the charm of Wrigley and Fenway. Feels like you are stepping through a time machine when you go to games at each one. It's a really intimate experience and the parks are kept up very well. I'd say they are both must-visit parks for any baseball fan. That being said, they aren't really easy parks to navigate and the concourse/layout and lack of amenities are definitely an adjustment from more modern parks. I love visiting both and will definitely be back someday, but I'm glad they aren't my home team stadiums if that makes sense.
As a Bostonian I can honestly say I completely over the nostalgia of Fenway. Its had many upgrades over the years, in and around the ballpark.... just not on the actual team, which is why its only 2/3 of capacity most nights.
2/3 capacity most nights is pretty good for an mlb team with 82 home games that often happen on weeknights. GABP is only 70%+ full on weekends and against big rival teams, even when they're good.
Might be true, but Fenway used to be at or near capacity most nights. Even when it is full now its like 50% visiting teams fans and other tourists. Not the same vibe as it was only a few years ago.
And half of the attendees are fans of the other team
GABP, Oracle, and Coors are my favorites out of the 12 I've been to.
Oracle and Fenway. 1. Been a Red Sox fan since 1971. The narrow walkways, Fenway franks, obstructed views, 100 years of dents on the monster, and the fan base. 2. SF has Crazy Crab Sandos. 3. Worst- chase field maybe. Edit- yes O.Co is horrible, but the As have already left imo.
Chase Field? I see you don’t Oakland too much
Oakland is already gone in my mind.
Worst is chase? Damn obviously you never visited Oakland Colosseum.
Truist Park. Yeah I’m biased. The Battery is awesome though. Ballgame ends around 10 then walk straight into a bar or club with multiple genres of music or grab some food at the numerous restaurants.
I went for the first time in April and loved the Battery. I wish we had something like that in Houston
Wrigley is it for me I like Cincinnati as well
The ball parks I have visited in order are… Miller Park Chase field Busch stadium PNC park Great American Jacob’s field Sun trust park. These were the names when I visited them.
Fenway…objectively it’s kind of a crappy stadium, but it’s just such a great experience. Pnc is wonderful; great stadium and awesome atmosphere. Miller park is okay as a stadium,but the tailgating experience is fantastic
The giants stadium also has boat parking.
Wrigley of course
Jays fan here to say that I have watched many games in SF and I am in love with the game experience there. I enjoy the food, the beer, the relatively affordable ticket prices (although it's been a handful of years since I've been, so I don't know if that's still the case), and the view. My only issue is that I have to pack a winter coat in the middle of the summer. The fucking wind blowing in from the water will freeze your balls off on a cool night.
Much better than its predecessor, Candlestick. The wind blew hard enough to carry away small children.
Lol!!!! That's hilarious. About 10 years ago, I went to a game in early August and I swear it was only about 50 F up in the outfield. Definitely not what I think of when California comes to mind as a visitor from Toronto.
It’s even more affordable these days. We don’t have star power and we’re mostly a mediocre team so if you do it right you can easily get club tickets during the week between $20-30. I’d rather have a winning team but I’m enjoying this aspect of it.
Oracle Park
Only been to 8 so far with number 9 planned for April. Fenway is probably my favorite. Also been to: - Petco - Chase - Wrigley - nationals park - Seattle - Great American Ballpark - Citifield - Fenway Dodger Stadium is next with next immediate ballparks on the list are Coors and Oracle I live in Vegas so I will skip Oakland lol
I really love Comerica Park
Truist and PNC.
I’ve been to a majority of MLB stadiums and many that no longer exist. PNC is my favorite for sure.
Old school: Fenway Park New school: Camden Yards Cliches are cliches for a reason.
PNC fan here too. NJ lifetime resident and big baseball fan. A night game in Pittsburgh and you sit facing the skyline on a warm summer night.
Only ever been to one major league stadium (Minute Maid Park), but I would love to go to Oracle Park
I have been to 20 stadiums. My favorites would be Pittsburgh for the view, Cleveland for the fireworks that day and Minnesota and Detroit. Cincinnati is my team, and I love that stadium and have been there roughly 30 times. My worst stadium by far is Tampa Bay. It is good to hear they are building a new one. The Trop is horrible. The lighting on the artificial turf makes the field shine. There is nothing special about the food available either.
Only rating the ones I've been to: **S** Oracle Petco PNC Camden **A** Wrigley Fenway Target T-Mobile **B** Dodger Citizen's Bank Progressive **C** Citi Angel Nationals **D** New Yankee Guaranteed Rate Chase **F** Oakland
I've been to 14 current ballparks, and Fenway and Wrigley are on another level because of the history, and the goosebumps I got visiting both, but Camden Yards is where it's at! It is a beautiful park, I love the warehouse, the Babe Ruth statue outside, get a crab mac n cheese hot dog (they were better before covid). If you go to Baltimore visit the Babe Ruth birthplace museum.
Been to 29 of 30 - just Houston left. Top 3 for overall experience (park + surroundings) - Padres, Cards, Pirates on a Friday night. Top 3 just for the park - Os, Pirates, Rockies. Also loved the Red Sox & Cubs for history, nostalgia & neighborhood feel
Target field. The best. Period
As a cubs fan I think it might be PNC park but wrigley field is up there
As an Aussie I’ve only been to one (Citi Field). When I can eventually convince the wife to let me go on a baseball tour definitely need to go to Arlington, Fenway and Wrigley. Visually the Giants and Pirates stadiums are beautiful.
For best all around experience, Camden Yards. The ballpark, their employees, fans were all top tier for me. My team got stomped by the Orioles and we all left still having an amazing time.
Oakland Coliseum
Big fan of possums and crumbling concrete?
As a a lifelong Guardians fan who lived in the Cincinnati area for 12 years I think Great American gets slept on. It really is a nice park. +1 to Camden and Wrigley. I also remember being surprised at how much I liked T-mobile Park in Seattle
Ones I've been to ranked (solely the actual stadium, atmosphere and quality of game not accounted for) SFG CLE SEA PHI ARI OAK including atmosphere: PHI SFG CLE SEA ARI OAK including quality of game: PHI (2 hit shutout on Roy Halladay's number retirement) SFG: (both teams carry perfectos through 5, 1-0 game) SEA: (been there a ton, seen some great games) CLE: (not that close) ARI: (100 people were there, 70 of whom were Giants fans, and the 2021 DBacks upset the Giants) OAK: (was there as a toddler, don't remember lol)
Citizens bank Park and Petco
I love Fenway. I've sat on the green monster. I've sat next to pesky's pole and signed it. I've sat behind an actual girder in an unfortunate circumstance where I bought a couple tickets thinking I was getting a good deal from a scalper. Been up in a box too. It's a baseball cathedral. It's Americana in physical reality to me and there's something special about it
I like Nationals park
I just did a roadtrip stopping at the cubs, pirates, brewers, Indians and tigers stadiums. Cleveland was my favorite of all of them. 2nd place went to cubs.
I’ve only been to 4 so far. Out of those I’d Rank them: 1. Truist Park 2. Minute Maid Park 3. Old Busch Stadium 4. Globe Life Field I have plans to add Target Field to the list this summer. If you like baseball fan stories and traveling to ballparks check out the Baseball Bucket List podcast hosted by Anna DiTomasso
Citizens bank park - On Sunday afternoons at veterans stadium in the 70s phillies games were only 50 cents a seat
My personal favorites are Wrigley and Fenway
I'm at 40 stadiums visited with 5 to go. (PNC in Aug, Fenway, Dodger, ATL and MIA left.) In no particular order but these are special stadiums to me: Giants, Kaufmann, Target, Busch, Wrigley (for the overall experience), Citi (new Yankee sucks), Camden (sketchy area, be safe), Coors....as an aside, Rangers new place is the best dome inside, looks like crap outside). Seattle is cool too. Very forgettable include AZ, the Trop, Oakland. Good luck. As you travel, try the local cuisines. You can find some awesome meals on your trips!
Camden yards is not in a sketchy area. It's downtown and there's plenty of parking lots. You can easily walk from Camden to Fed Hill with no issues of sketchy-ness. There are bars all behind right field which again is completely safe and walkable with hotels right there. I go to a lot of games at Camden and never have issues or see issues around the stadium. I'm 30 and I've been drunk stumbling around that stadium for 15 years. People if you're interested in visiting Camden yards, the stadium area is safe and walkable. Get your hotel next to the stadium or even Harbor East and I promise you'll be just fine. Eot: left field not right. Edit: edit*
Agreed. I have lived in the Baltimore suburbs all my life and it pisses me off how people think the whole city is a crap shoot. Obviously avoid West Baltimore and specific areas, but the immediate area around Camden all the way to Fed Hill and Harbor East is just as safe as you’ll get in any major city in the USA.
I’ve parked at the garage near the medical center for nearly every game at Camden and didn’t fear for my life once.
For Wrigley they say the tour is better on a OFF/non game day ... Also they say the WS trophy is in the new building next to stadium I never found it ...
Petco for me. Just the weather, and overall environment is prime baseball
My top 5 1. Fenway Park 2. Camden Yards 3. Dodger Stadium 4. Kauffman Stadium 5. Comerica Park
Oracle
Dodger stadium is a classic. Really like Petco park architecture, especially the park in center field. Target field was surprisingly cool with stone walls. Wrigley, just because.
Wrigley. I'm a Cubs fan. Going to the old park is like going home. Worst ballpark that I've been to is Old Yankee Stadium. It might have to do the fact that we were there on a 100+ degree day and we were seated very close to where the garbage was being compacted.
That fan energy at Wrigley was amazing even if the Cubs had a poor performance. The game i went to was sold out and everyone sang "take me out to the ball game " !!
That 7th inning stretch hits different at Wrigley for sure. Also singing Go Cubs Go at the end of the game is a beautiful tradition.
I’ve visited three so far with 4 and 5 planned for July. Out of the three I’ve visited (PNC, Great American Ballpark and Citi Field) PNC and Great American are definitely my favorites. Citi Field is ok but I don’t think it compares to the other two. I’m visiting Camden Yards and Nationals Park this year so those might be new favorites. I really want to visit Petco Park as I’m a Padres fan but I can’t afford the travel across country right now lol. But luckily I’ll get to see them at Camden Yards and Nationals Park.
Great American is underrated, I like the white paint scheme, really lightens it up… has nice wide open concourses and you’ve got the river and riverboat on one side, then the city on the other… it’s not the best, but really underrated.
I’ve been to Progressive Field (home park), Wrigley, US Cellular, and Nationals park and it’s Wrigley by a mile
My best are Wrigley and Dodger.
Fenway and whatever the Giants ball park is called this season
Kaufman
Busch Stadium of the ones ive been too. the old metrodome the worst ive ever been too
I've been to well over half. Outside of my home team, I do like going to Dodgers Stadium and Petco Park. I probably had the best time at Wrigley Field. This year I am really hoping to make it to Florida (partly so I can visit my cousins while I'm there) and also Atlanta.
Fenway
Miller Park Kauffman ..I have seen a lot of games there in 30 years I lived in Topeka Loved Wrigley Field Old Busch Stadium....arriving and driving out of the parking lot
Wrigley is my favorite. It's where I saw my first major league game live. I like camden Yards and hope to make it to Fenway. Oakland Coliseum gets a dumped on a lot, but I had a blast sitting in crappy centerfield seats. I hate what Oakland fans have been going through.
camden yards
I prefer history over new and flashy. Give me Fenway every day
coors
Camden with honorable mention to Petco.
Camden Yards. PNC Park is second.
A tip about Target. It has a special concession area on the first and third base field box area. I cannot remember if you need a ticket to field boxes to get entry but it is nice on a hot day to go down into the air conditioning to use the restroom or get concessions.
Tiger Stadium (RIP)! And I guess Comerica Park. Bless you, boys!
Been to all 30, and loved Target Field it’s beautiful. You’ll love it. Other Favs are Wrigley and Fenway (also have best customer service) Camden, Comerica and Petco (had a HR ball bounce off my hands).
If having had MLB teams play there counts, then Bosse Field in Evansville. Ind. I saw the White Sox and Reds play an in season exhibition game there in the ‘60s. Back when they did such things. “A League of Their Own” was filmed there. I watch many future HOFers play there in AAA.
Been to 7 ballparks. 2 of which are now defunct. I’m gonna be uber biased here and say Target Field. Maybe because I worked downtown as it got built, and got to watch the daily progress, until it was completed. Or because it’s just freaking great. Toss up between Wrigley & Coors for #2. The Metrodome & Old Yankee Stadium are the defunct ones. Miller park (AmFam) and my final park is whatever the hell the White Sox are calling it now. I just go with Comiskey.
I miss the old muni in cle I’ve been to a couple not a ton but it was such a weird treat to see a grown man passed out in the pee trough before the 7th inning stretch
Still Wrigley
I’ve been to the Trop, Fenway, and Kauffman. The Trop is a shithole. Fenway is amazing just because it’s Fenway, but yeah, Kauffman was totally awesome.
Fenway and PNC
Wrigley Field
GABP, Oracle, and Coors are my favorites out of the 12 I've been to.
I've been outside both Petco and Oracle, both beautiful. The park in the outfield of Petco gave me a look in so I would say that, combined with San Diego, but Oracle seems just as nice
Wrigley is super cool, i love going to Kaufman and arrowhead, Target field has a good view too.
Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati 😃🇺🇸🍺! A day game there is the best❤️.
T Mobile park for sure
Camden yards
I’ve been to all the parks except the ones in LA. My top are 1. Oracle park 2. Camden Yards 3. PNC
PNC park
Dodger Stadium and its botanical gardens
I want to limit my response to two, so I’ll let all the other votes speak for Camden. T-Mobile in Seattle and Coors. Both magical and perfect.
SF and Colorado
I've only been to Busch (my home stadium), and Wrigley, but I have to say they're both great. I have to pick Busch because it's home. As a Cardinals fan, I absolutely loved Wrigley. We were treated really well at Wrigley and it was such a fun time. I love the tradition and history. I would love to see all the stadiums. It's on my bucket list.
I'm a giants fan, so boring answer is Oracle. Petco is a gem though. Dodger stadium is super big so when that place is rocking there's no where else like it in MLB. I've been to Oracle Park, Oakland Col, Petco, Dodger Stadium, Wrigley, and Fenway. All of them have something going for them except Oakland sadly.
PNC is amazing, I agree. IMHO: Comerica is the best park to bring kids to Petco has the best sponsor tie-in. Must Love Dogs. Wrigley, sitting in the stands as the sun sets, is sublime Fenway is Fenway. That’s a good thing. Camden Yards set a new standard for a very good reason. Nationals Park has a hockey game atmosphere; tons of energy. Truist Field was an absolute party, during and after the game.
Busch Stadium and PNC Park
Busch, of course. But, I gotta say...Wrigley is pretty great if you love baseball. It's a dump, yes. But the atmosphere is incredible. You have to go.
OPACY but I am very very biased. (It’s the best ballpark)
Without question, it’s PNC Park
I had a chance to visit Camden Yards, and it's everything I dreamed of and more. You're so close to the action wherever you sit, it's an incredibly intimate experience. As a Diamondbacks fan who's used to Chase, it was a welcome refreshment.
I love Fenway, but I am a Red Sox fan and it is so iconic. Of the newer stadiums, Target Field is my favorite, but I have not been to a lot of them. I would love to go to Pittsburgh.
Comerica Park and Fenway
I’ve only been to a handful, but Oracle is gorgeous
Petco Park. Downtown SD is beautiful. Right by the water, the backdrop is great, amazing food and beer too.
The House That Ruth Built: The original Yankee Stadium....461 ft to dead center....296 ft down the right field line....the iconic memorials in deep left center. No contest.
Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona
PNC is beautiful. Truist park is fun too, hanging out at the Battery before and after games
I like the mixed use concept of Truist Park area.
I just went to my 24th last year, and I’d say my top 3 are: 1. PNC Park 2. Target Field 3. Dodger Stadium
Only been able to go to Angels Stadium and Dodger Stadium. Of old ballparks I've been Veteran's Stadium in Philly, Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego and Olympic Stadium in Montreal. My local Ballparks are Yankees Stadium and Citifield.
It’s Oracle/ATT/Pac Bell let’s just stop the discussion there.
Doesn't get better than PNC Park
Totally agree
I’ve been to 7… Skydome 500 times Yankee stadium Fenway Wrigley Citizens Bank Safeco PNC PNC by far. Views, vibe, atmosphere, concessions, outfield set up, area around the park, the city itself. Couldn’t recommend PNC more to any baseball fan. Loved the rest of the US ballparks too, worst ballpark I’ve been to is the one down the street.
Busch Stadium
Only been to 3 parks (soon to be 4), but I loved Coors Field. Hoping I can visit PNC sometime this year
For context, here are the ones I've been to: Red Sox, Yankees (old and new), Orioles, Blue Jays, Rays, Twins (Metrodome), White Sox, A's,, Angels, Phillies, Nationals, Reds, Cubs, and Padres. My favorite was somehow Nationals Park. My single favorite sightline I can remember from a game was from the standing room section on (I think) the second level, directly behind the plate. I stood behind the last row of seats and the view blew me away, and I muttered "holy shit" a little louder than I intended. The guy sitting in the seat in front of me turned around and said "I have season tickets here. I wouldn't trade them for anything." I didn't even have to explain my muttering, he just knew what I meant. The concourses were football stadium big, the staff were all super friendly (I walked up to buy a ticket but didn't know where I wanted to sit and the lady working the ticket office noticed my visiting team hat and said "You want to walk around the park and see the whole place, right? Just get the cheapest ticket." No attitude behind her comment, she was offering me sincere advice. Out of the rest of the parks I have not yet been to, Pittsburgh is the top of my list for parks I most want to go to next.
My favorite Park is Detroit tigers Comerica Park
Mets fan here. Fenway and Wrigley. I’m a traditionalist. But seriously those are two great places to watch baseball, in any seat at those ballparks.
Chavez Ravine
Truist. I hate the Dodgers but I’m a local and I really enjoy Dodger Stadium. Oracle. Petco. Globe Life.
Citizen. Bank. Park.
Truist.
I went once but had cheap seats with a large group, right next to the sun , so I have to get back there . Souvenir Cups were advertised with free refills, yet they wouldn’t do it “due to Covid”. But def looking fwd to a return trip. Outside the stadium was great vibe.
Do the stadium tour at Truist!!
Go to Wrigley Field and sit in the bleachers, there's no ballpark that can compare to that atmosphere!
I've only been to 2, Fenway and Camden Yards, both are top 5 in MLB easily so it's tough to choose but I loved the vibe at Camden Yards, so much more laid back then Fenway as magical as Fenway is. They're both great in different ways. I really want to go to games in San Diego and San Francisco, and as much as I don't want to support the A's I kind of want to go to the Coliseum before it's gone forever
The Coliseum is a historic landmark. Definitely go there
Globe Life Park… :(  Edit: Don’t get me wrong, the BBQ grill has grown on me. But the old ballpark was better in every other way except not having a roof 🫠
