What stadiums have you been to and which are your favorites?
I've been to:
County Stadium: Grew up going to games there in Milwaukee. Best tailgating ever and you couldn't beat the bleachers for an afternoon game. Bernie Brewers old chalet and beer mug was the best. The place was pretty dumpy but still one of those old, fun ballparks.
Miller Park - Probably my favorite just because I'm a brewers fan but for being a retractable roof stadium it doesn't have that indoors feel when it's closed. Great tailgating and you can't beat the sausage race.
Chase Field or "The BOB" - I live in PHX now but I just don't like this park. It does have that airplane hangar feel. There's no ambience and you almost feel like you're not at a baseball game. I was a the Red Sox series a few weeks ago and it was packed but you still feel removed from the game. I think they made it way too big.
Rangers Ballpark - Nice park and it's hard to believe that it's 13 years old. I love the right field porch and the grassy lawn in center field. You're really exposed to the rain in the upper deck concourse but that's my only complaint.

Yankee Stadium
Shea Stadium
Fenway Park
Camdem Yards (lives up to the hype)
Turner Field (very underrated park IMO)
New Comiskey (steepest upper deck ever)

I would have loved to go to Olympic Stadium and I don't know why. I guess it just looked cool from the outside.
there was like 5000 people there, needless to say our seats were great

Tiger Stadium, Detroit:
Best place to actually watch a game. Sure, it was cramped, the concourses were crowded and the neighborhood sucks...but you were SO close to the action and the sound there was phenomenal.
Comerica Park, Detroit:
Great concourses, great view of the city, great levels and places to stand around. Terrible place to watch a game, it's spread out way too much, you're a mile away from the field.
Wrigley, Chicago:
Perfection. Been there 4 times and each time has been fantastic for different reasons. I love this place.
Fenway, Boston:
Goddamned dump. Great experience, but the park is a dump. I sat near Pesky's Pole and my seat was pointed towards the Monster. Terribly uncomfortable, and I couldn't get a beer because I was over 21 but under 25? WTF? Crowded, smelly, ugh. If I never get back to it, that's fine with me.
Coors, Denver:
Awesome all around. Not a bad thing to say about the place, but I don't remember any real highlights either. Very nice park.
Network Assoc, Oakland:
Not a bad stadium really. Generic as far as asthetics, but cheap, friendly, convenient, and good fans. Always a good time.
Candlestick, SF:
Fantastic food, oh my lord. They did a good job with atmosphere outside of the park too. I always had good seats but I could see how if you were in the OF it might be really awful. I always enjoyed going there.
Miller, Milwaukee:
Ugh. I mean, it feels like you're in a warehouse that has a ballfield in it. The sausage race is fun. And the polka. Otherwise, yuck.
Safeco, Seattle:
Modern perfection. Food, views, relatively intimate, always comfortable. Best park I've been to overall, but it just can't touch the fun of Wrigley.
