Favorite park so far has been Veterans Stadium.

The Vet was a colossal dump. Truly the worst stadium in baseball prior to its long-awaited destruction.

Citizens Bank, though, is gorgeous, has tremendous sightlines, and every possible modern amenity. It also arguably has the best architecture of any stadium in baseball (along with Camden Yards). Great combo of old school + new school feel.

Like many, though, my favorite park is PNC.

Not necessarily a great park but Toronto's park, it was called Rodger's Center is a dome with retractable roof. Also, a cool feature is a hotel built into the stadium and you can watch the game from your room kinda like a box. The rooms are pricey, starting at about $400/night when there is a game. But it's cool. I've seen 3 games there, only one in the hotel, but it was an ok stadium. Much nicer when the roof open. The last time I was there was when the Yanks team that won their last WS played the Jays.

Busch Stadium in St. Louis is an excellent ballpark with electric game day atmosphere. Safeco Field in Seattle and Miller Park in Milwaukee are also underrated but great baseball venues

Only been to the stadiums in Cleveland and Cincinnati.For me it was old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. It was a dump but in the 1960's as a kid I could go to a game and pretty much sit anywhere I wanted.

Old Yankee Stadium
New Yankee Stadium
Shea Stadium
Citi Field
Fenway Park
Athletics Stadium
Angels Stadium
Nationals Park
Old Marlins Park

Nothing like Fenway Park.  Athletics Stadium is by far the worst and it's not even close.

Been to nationals park and Camden yards

Without a doubt Camden yards is the best, love that stadium. Nats park is like being at a shopping mall comBined with carnival at elementary school, focused on family and kids too much

Great topic and good thread.  Put some thought into it and have been to more of the older (not here anymore staduims then the current ones.  

Baltimore (Old Memorial Staduim & Camden Yards)
Toronto (At the time called the Skydome)
New York (Old Yankee & Shea)
Boston (Fenway)
Detroit (Old Tiger & Commerica)
K.C. (Kauffmann)
Washington (Nats Park & RFK - Baltimore used to play a their   last one or two spring training games there every year back in the 80's)
Atlanta (Old one)
Philly (The Vet)
Milw (County & Miller Park)
St. Louis ( Old & New Busch)
Pittsburgh (PNC)
Chicago (Wrigley)
Colorado (Coors)

Grew up in Baltimore so i'm biased but Camden Yards is my favorite.  Of the newer parks I really like PNC Park and Miller Park.
Of the older ones Wrigley is by far my favorite and really liked the old Tiger Stadium.
One that doesn't get enough credit is Kauffman in KC.
The worst I would say would be Shea with the Vet a close second.

Great answers guys! Love to get back to the reason we all love baseball so much and I'm absolutely sure that we are not betting on this sport by chance. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say we all are just straight up baseball lovers!

Many, but the first may have been the best, at least because it is locked into memory as a child. In the mid to late 1950's I got to go to the old Kansas City Municipal ballpark on Prospect Avenue and watch my idol and hero, Mickey Mantle, crush one out to right that became a Prospect Avenue home run. For modern fans that is comparable to watching Bonds hit them into McCovey Cove. That was against the A's, before jackass Charlie Finley moved them to Oakland. Ah, Mickey, thanks for the memories.

Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

Wrigley Field

Old Comiskey Park

New Comiskey Park/Cellular Field

Old Yankee Stadium

County Stadium Milwaukee

Miller Park

Old Arlington Stadium (Rangers)


LOL...I've been to more defunct ballparks than active ones!!

Miller Park is by far the best park I've been to in terms of amenities and game watching.  New Comiskey has gone through a lot of changes making it a nice place too.  The rest of the parks listed above are pretty much dumps. Wrigley has a lot of character and tradition, but I've been there hundred+ times, so it's old to me now.  Not to mention, a real pain the a$$ to get too, expensive and $hit teams.

Wrigley Field
Jack Murphy
Chase Field
Oakland Colisem
Petco Park

Petco is my favorite on this short list.  New age ballpark with a great view of the downtown skyline behind center field.  Having a beer and watching the game from the Western Metal Building porch is pretty cool too.
