Fenway is old and antiquated and needs to be put out of its misery soon. Camden Yards is gorgeous though... that's my #2 choice. Never been to Rogers or Tropicana field, but Tropicana just doesn't do anything for me.
Oh the irony.
Yankee Stadium is a rat hole. I hate both teams but I think its pretty clear that Fenway is night and day nicer than Yankee Stadium.

I've been to 4 of the 5, haven't yet made it to Fenway. Actually I've technically been there, but I was under 3 and don't remember it. And I pretty much dislike all the teams so I don't really carry any sort of bias in that manner. My rankings:
1. Camden Yards. Night games there are simply fantastic. Great sight lines everywhere, beautiful surroundings, and it feels intimate like a good ballpark should. Very good food too. Probably my favorite place overall to see a game, right there with Jacobs Field.
2. Rogers Centre. I would agree with those who call it sterile and cavernous for baseball, but it's got the most comfortable seats, greatest variety of concessions, and one of the best sound systems of any venue. It looks better from the outside IMO.
3. Yankee Stadium. I love the history of the park and I actually enjoy being a visiting fan; the natives are homers but respect you if you show you're there to have fun and know your baseball (unlike Philly or Cincy). It's the God-awful smell of sweat, stale beer, rotting meat, and burned brake pads that really turns me off, and it's worse when it's humid. Trust me, I know my stenches (I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie in the 1970s), and Yankee Stadium smells worse than just about anyplace I've ever been where animals weren't being slaughtered. The seats are real small and I've been in seats where you can't see home plate, a major no-no for baseball.
4. The Trop. The place just sucks. And $45 for parking in the garage!
