I don't get why people bash it for the pool-this is a desert you know and only about 20 very rich people are in it. The only other place I've seen a game is at Miller Park which was also very cool. But we're going to a game in Atlanta his summer which will be my fisrt road trip to see the Dbacks so I'm pretty pumped about that-lots of history at Turner Field. I've been to several parks (Wrigley, Fenway, Petco, AT&T) but have never seen games there, although I know before I die I definitely will!

Rochester has more soul than the entire state of NY combined. Fenway is tops. but Wrigley has some great sight lines in the upper deck. Believe it or not Safeco has some charm. Don't know how - just does. Again cheers to the Frontier mention. Someone mentioned Frontier Field – be still my beating heart. Rochester has more soul than the entire state of NY combined.

The Trop... which I agree with Meg, has the a/c and the guarantee that there will not be a rain out.. and the ballpark at Disney's Wild World of Sports is pretty nice.. got a "old school" feel, and it was cool to watch an MLB game there last year.

I'm going to McCoy on Memorial Day (a game against the AAA Yanks--and the week before my birthday!), and I want to go see the Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field, too. And I am going to Yankee Stadium for the series at the end of August! That'll be an experience. In terms of major-league ballparks, though, I've heard great things about Wrigley and Camden (obviously), but I also want to go to Busch, just to see where the Sox finally won.

Just adored it. I loved the Kingdome when I sat in my friend STeve's seats, front row of the upper deck, right behind home plate. I loved the inside fireworks. I loved the cheap seats at Safeco, for drinking beer and watching the view of the Olympics. I also think they have the best food of any ballpark I have ever been to. sushi, chocolate-covered strawberries on a skewer, salmon and chips, the list goes on. i'm sorry but it kicks philly's ass. also, you do not have to get to the park three hours early and immediately get in line for your food if you want to eat and see the game, unlike philly. i liked miller but found it a tad bland. the various types of sausages and the cheese curd were interesting food choices, however. i admire the view of the city from the upper levels at CBP, and the fact that the bathrooms are plentiful. [see, texy? I can say something nice about Philly] Pittsburgh is still the most beautiful, because that view is available to EVERYONE. And the easy access and cheap parking is a winner. Also, food there doesn't suck (Primati's!)

McCoy is really nice for a AAA ballpark. It's got no bells and whistles like other minor league parks and the prices are wicked cheap so you can just go in for like 9 dollars. Oh and free parking(unless if the lot is full, then you may hafta pay about 5-10 dollars) Dammit I’ve only been to one other park besides Fenway and that’s McCoy Stadium.

It's a beautiful park and you can see the bay. Of course, one *has* to have a polish sausage dog, garlic fries, and beer. We were fortunate enough to be there to see the Sox play the Giants a couple years ago in inter-league play. That was great fun! My husband and I do want to catch a Cubs game at Wrigley someday.

The only one of those I've been to in the past ten years is the Trop, so I'm going to go with that. It's ugly, but 1) it is air conditioned, something that is great in Tampa during the summer, 2) tickets are about $10 for great seats (if they aren't free) and, probably most importantly, 3) THEY HAVE $1 DRAFTS ON MOST FRIDAY NIGHTS. I could probably watch a little league game, while sitting on a lawn chair in the rain, and be perfectly content if they had $1 drafts. Not to mention that the Ted Williams museum at the Trop is pretty cool, so I was happy when they opened that. I really need to try and get to some more ballparks though haha.
