    I've been to Bush and Wrigley. I also went to the old Twins stadium before they tore it down. One of my favorites was the old Cominksy Park in Chicago. It was a clasic.

    I will make it to Coors Field when Rike plays his first game there.

    I've been to Wrigley, the old Comisky, Minute-Maid Park, and Arlington.
    I wish I could have gone to the old Yankee Stadium.

    The new Yankee Stadium is VERY nice NO DOUBT should be in top 10. I dont agree with a lot of those parks.

    Re: The Ten Best Ballparks in the Major League

    Their top 4 are the same as my top 4 but I reversed the order of the top 2 with Wrigley Field at #1 and AT&T Park #2.

    This year I'm going to games in Yankee Stadium, Citi Field (Mets), and Nationals Field in June. Also, hope to go to Target Field (Twins) in July. These stadiums all replaced older stadiums that I saw in their last year of use. I'm going to Yankee Stadium for the series vs my favorite team (Astros) on June 11-13 . I hope to make it to 2 games of the series.

    I forgot the Mariner's field. Very nice park.

    Since no one has commented on it, maybe you're missing it. Did anyone notice the big screen on the Minnesota Park (#7)?

    Been to Wrigley, Old Comiskey, Arlington Stadium, Ballpark in Arlington, The old dump the Brewers used to play in and various minor league venues. Still like Wrigley the best. Old Comiskey was awesome though. Both have/had some rough sight-lines but that's also part of the charm.

    Been to Fenway and AT&T

    Strongly disagree with AT&T as number 1 seats are horrible sarbine wedges with no leg room

    Re: The Ten Best Ballparks in the Major League

    A little known fact, when Pac Bell Park, now AT& T field opened in SF... it was designed to be a stadium first and then a baseball park second. In December of 1999, about five months before opening day in April of 2000, they realized that they forgot to build bullpens for the relief pitchers. They had to scramble and recover and put them the bullpens in emergency status and placed them at and beyond 1st and 3rd base in short L and R fields. The pitchers that are in the bullpen have to sit in the photographer's camera wells and use that as their "pens". Ten years later, the emergency fix is still going strong and there are no plans to change anything.
    Also, the only other idea was to build them beyond the RF wall but that is to the cove and would have been a fire danger with a lack of escape in case of an emergency so that idea was scratched. Under the seats in LF under the "coke bottle" is player parking so that idea was squashed as well.
    Just some information that I am sure that a ton of people don't know about. :-)
