Which ones have you been to? What is your favorite? Which ones do you want to go to? Which ones do you have no desire to ever go to?

Been:

Fulton County (don't really remember much, I was 7)

Turner Field

Wrigley

Miller Park

Camden Yards

Nationals Park

Coors Field

Favorite:

1. Miller Park - Roof was open. Awesome looking stadium from the outside. You can see it from miles away. Good atmosphere. Really cool design overall. Fans gave me a ton of poo for being an opposing fan (braves).

2. Camden Yards - Really cool stadium. Bars and food within the park are very good. Excellent view of downtown. Fans were very polite. Orioles suck, so there was not many people there and no excitement.

Want to go to:

AT&T Park

PNC Park

Fenway (fug boston and the red sox, but it's too historic to not want to go)

Petco Park

Never want to go to:

Rogers Center

Sun Life Stadium (fka Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Land Shark Stadium)

Been:

U.S. Cell

Wrigley

Miller Park

1) The Cell

2) Miller Park

3) Wrigley

Love The Cell, though that is obvious.

Miller is just an amazing park, great field and seating, amazing food, just overall great atmosphere.

*Fun fact - I played at the mini Miller Park outside of the stadium.*

I love and hate Wrigley. I love it because it is a beautiful place to watch a ballgame, but I hate it because it is so damn old.

Want to go:

Every other park

Been to:

Turner Field

Citizen's Bank Park

The old Veteran's Stadium

Coors Field

I need to get out and see more parks

I liked all of them about the same for different personal reasons. All three are great parks.

Really want to see AT&T park in San Fran, the say that is the best.

Never want to go:

I honestly wouldn't turn a trip to any ball park down, but the Rays and Marlins stadiums might make me want to throw myself off the upper level.

been to:

Citizen's Bank Park

Veterans Stadium

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Nationals Park

Shea Stadium

New Yankee Stadium

CBP is the best. Of course, I have been to many games there, including 2 World Series games and it is the easiest for me to get to (20 min drive).

We had bleacher seats at Yankee Stadium this past June vs the Phillies. Got a lot of poo out there with that NY scum.

Went to Nationals Park 8/1 to see Strasburg (he was injured though) but still had a great time. So many Phillies fans were there. Worst part was the 4 hour ride in traffic home.

Shea Stadium was awesome. The Met fans weren't really even that bad. Yankee fans were animals. We had civil conversations with the Met fans which kind of surprised me.

Oriole Park I have been to a few times, never seen the Phillies play there though. Went back in the day during Ripken's streak (don't remember which game) and got free tickets last September and went down. It was pretty sad because there was no one there.

I also saw the Phils take on the Braves at Champion Stadium in Disney World this past spring training.

I would like to go to Citi Field, Fenway Park and PETCO.

i also have been to Rogers Centre but I was staying in the hotel connected to the stadium. I did go in the bar that overlooks the field though while there was a game going on. Jays/Yankees last labor day weekend.

There was a poll just mentioned in an article by the company Sports Travel and Tours that give people packages to visit all the baseball stadiums. They give surveys to their customers asking them to rank the best ball parks that they have visited. The article doesn't give the exact results but a few that are mentioned are:

1. Citizens Bank Park - Philly

2. PNC Park - Pittsburgh

3. ?

4. Yankee Stadium

5. AT&T Park - San Fran

Been to:

Wrigley

Comiskey

US Cellular

Old County Stadium (Brewers AL time)

Miller Park

Busch Stadium (old and new)

AT&T Park

Petco

Dodgers Stadium

Turner Field

Camden Yards

Old HH Humphreydome

I think I might have been to a few others that are currently escaping my old brain.

My favorite is Miller Park and Busch stadium. Beautiful, great food, ample parking, a good family experience. I don't like the Brewers or Cards, but they got the stadiums right.

My least favorite is the home of my beloved Cub. Yeah, it is historic, and looks beautiful, but the amenities suck, the parking sucks, the food blows...it feels its age when it comes to the extras.

AT&T park is amazing, I converted from a A's fan to a Giants fan because of that park.

Sitting up on the terrace on a hot summer's day enjoying a hot dog and a cold beer overlooking the bay is a great baseball experience.

Much better then a room temp beer overlooking Oakland's industrial sector while at a A's game.

Old Veteran's Stadium in Philly (not been to the Citizens Bank though, but I travel to Philly a lot on business so I'll probably go sooner or later)

Metrodome in Minneapolis

Wrigley

Riverfront Stadium (back in the day)

      Be careful, the copperheads are out big time

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've seen several in the last couple of weeks. Had a close call this evening walking the dogs. My Rottie was at my side and my pittie was up ahead and about that time I see a stick laying across the driveway maybe 20 feet ahead. We get a little closer and that's no stick. That's a BIG copperhead laying across the driveway on the bridge. I grab my Rottie and now I have him in my right hand and the pittie is on the other side of the snake. She had to have stepped right over it. Neither dog had noticed the snake at this point and I'm trying to he chill and keep it that way. I switch my Rottie to my left hand and tell my little to sit and stay. Now I'm skipping past this copperhead between it and my Rottie and grab my pittie with my right hand. poo, this isn't gonna work. Now we gotta get past this copperhead again. It's about three feet long laying stretched out across the driveway on a 10' wide bridge. We have maybe four feet to play with so here I am with a 120# Rottie in one hand and an 80# pit bull in the other trying both trying to figure out how we're getting past this copperhead and trying to do it fast before they notice it and do something stupid. Finally decide on sending the Rottie who is my right hand scooting up the driveway ahead of us since I'm between him and the snake. We get up to the snake and I guide him ahead and tell him go,go,go, go and he happily goes trotting up the driveway giving me time to swap the pittie to my right hand so I'm between her and the snake and we scurry past. The copperhead never moved and never offered any sign of either aggression nor fear. It was just chilling.

      Yep they probably have some good tape on Daniels and Washington by now and the Packers do look legit

      I'm not. I think the Packers may have become legit contenders with that Parsons trade and I wouldn't be surprised if Daniels and Washington have a bit of a coming back down to Earth after taking the league by surprise last year.
