Most of the Boston fans are just plain funny, when they abuse us Yankee fans they come out with some great lines.

Agreed. The Fens is #1 and the only stadium that can legitimately challenge it's greatness is Wrigley.

RFK used to be very similar in terms of energy - my Dad always said that in the late 80s, early 90s there was not a louder venue in sports. With the fans jumping up and down on the steel seats screaming "We Want Dallas!" Of course now the Skins have moved to an abominable stadium and haven't been legitimately good for 15 years while RFK remains old, outdated and only used for MLS games.

Damn you get around. You've already been to the new busch stadium?

what exactly is your criteria? Apparently you are giving higher ratings for newer parks, presumably with more modern amenities (except tampa).

Shea is a shit-hole and should be nowhere near yankees stadium, for that matter, i thought mcafee was better than shea, much better.

i can't stand either of the new york stadiums. agreed that shea stadium is a pisshole but yankee stadium isn't that great a place to view games either. the concourses are narrow and you really feel that when leaving the stadium. the seats are a bit cramped. i think new yorkers have been kind of cheated out of a great baseball experience for a long time.

I plan on visiting all of them and the new ones that pop up. I try to go to 3-5 a year.

Originally posted by jerZ07002 You've already been to the new busch stadium?

Yes. It's nice, but it lacks character. They really did a half ass job when building the stadium. However, my opinion may change since I eventually plan on visiting it again when they finish up building the "Ballpark Village".

However, the fans are the best in baseball. Not even debatable. They literally live and die off baseball.

quote:

Originally posted by jerZ07002 what exactly is your criteria?

Seat/comfort is #1, then in no particular order, neighborhood, access to the ballpark, outside architecture, view you see past center field, anything memorable about the ballpark for the most part.

Not quite.

I have wrigley as my #4 favorite ballpark. They actually get the concept of leg room. Plus Wrigleyville is a phenomenal neighborhood to be around before and after the game.

Yankee Stadium is no better. It's narrow and cramped, plus you got eye sores between the left field boxes and the bleachers. (The garbage collector).

It has the charm of Rikers Island and the center field seats, affectionately known as "Mount Davis", is a killer. However, the fans are phenominal. Oakland fans are great.

Yeah, I go to school in Chicago - the two times I've gone we had seats in right field. Really cool area, stadium, people and atmosphere. Great place to catch a ballgame in my opinion.
