^^
I personally enjoyed my brat at US Cellular but can't say Ive been there enough to try everything.

In no particular order:
Dodger Stadium
AT&T Park
New Yankee
New Busch
Petco
Miller

and I like US Cellular. Red line. Exit 35th (IIRC). Solid food. Fans are great ppl who love their baseball and will engage you…they'll be happy you showed up to visit and enjoy their slice of baseball heaven.

Don't like:
Angel Stadium.
Fenway (but I went before they renovated it).

Wrigley is tops for me. I've been to Yankee games, but there's something off about the feel of the new park.

With Wrigley (though these new additions might take away from the ambiance), you get a great atmosphere and the obvious tradition. Plus, in the handful of times I've been to Chicago and gone to Cubs games, the people I've met and interacted with during games was always good.

Camden Yards is fantastic, too. Might be the prettiest park in the country.

On the flip side of this conversation, Marlins Park is just all kinds of awful. Then again, all of the parks the Marlins have played in have been terrible.

Not a big fan of Wrigley. Every element it provides can be provided at Miller with better parking/ tailgating, nicer people and a nicer venue.

Well…the nostalgia that comes from being in a stadium that's old is something you can't get at Miller but whatever.
I'll be living in Chicago when I'm done in Madison. Plenty of opportunity for me to enjoy the renovations at Wrigley.

I've only been to three: Nats Park, Camden Yards, and Yankee Stadium. Camden Yards definitely gets the nod. I'm no Baltimore fan but their park is awesome.

Camden Yards & Safeco are the two best parks in baseball IMO.

Also been to Chase Field, Angel Stadium, Petco & the Oakland coliseum.

Petco is a notch below Camden/Safeco. Chase & The Big A don't do anything for me, and anyone who attends a game at the Oakland coliseum is well... :pityfool:

Just been to Angels Stadium, Dodger's Stadium, Qualcomm Stadium, and the Metrodome for the Twins... Out of those, Dodger's Stadium hands down.

Out of the ones I've been to:

PNC
Fenway
Wrigley
Comerica
Cincinatti
Cleveland
Anaheim

The area around the stadium itself a big part of it for me. PNC had that going on great. Fenway and Wrigley are on another level with it. Anaheim the complete opposite. What a terrible place.
The vibe in the park was fun to see the differences in. Thought Detroit would be high-string like Boston is but it was more a happy-go-lucky party atmosphere. Cleveland had the high-strung thing going on though and I wasn't anticipating that

Wrigley tops it by far. Amazing atmosphere and the people are great too.
Target Field for the Twins was very nice. I had a chance to catch a Cubs game there this summer and it was beautiful. I really need to get out to more fields to expand my experience tho. I would love to take a trip east and see Boston, NY, Camden yards etc.

I don't like the "historic" parks (like Fenway and Wrigley). I think they're ugly.

I also don't like parks with really shallow outfields where a line drive can leave the park.

I like both the New York parks aesthetically (although Yankee stadium is ugly from inside).

Camden Yards and Miller Park are also nice.

You edited out the key word: "I like both the New York parks aesthetically".

US Cellular Field wont get top billing because it's baseball purgatory. Went (for the 2nd time) and saw Sale-Kluber this May. Stadium was half full.

But the fans are great. They engage you and talk about the game with you as well as the Cubs/Sox dynamic in the city and the food is tops.
2/2 on both my trips to US Cellular. I enjoy it.

Agree with how u view Wrigley and Fenway.

Honestly , all of the parks I went to were great(except Fenway). My experience at US Cellular was actually really good and the stadium was pretty packed that day (2012 series vs Angels during Lollapalooza weekend) . And yes, the food was great and the beer prices were reasonable compared to places like SkyDome. Only reason I went with Skydome over it (other than homeriam) is the central downtown location.

Fenway is an absolute dump, I've been to an Iowa Cubs game as well and their stadium was light years better, and its a AAA team.
