Went to Comisky....oh I mean US Cellular this weekend...

Post by Cicero »

...and I was impressed by how nice it was. I was in Chicago for a Bachelor Party and we went the Sox\Indians game during the day. So I was wondering?

Whats your fav stadium that you have been to?

Mine is still Wrigley.

Camden Yards is a great place to watch a ballgame, even if the team in recent years
hasn't been very good (not including this year so far).

For the history of the team, and the enthusiasm of the fans, Fenway Park is the best.
A venerable shrine to the sport, and a ballpark that every baseball fan
should go to at least once in their lives.

Haven't been to RFK yet this year. Even if it's an old smelly joint, just the fact
of having a DC team again is almost enough to overcome the old place's shortcomings.

The only other two I've been to are Memorial Stadium in Baltimore,
and Riverfront in Cincinnati.
Those were so good, they got torn down. :P

they serve hummus at camden. Therefore, it is not a baseball stadium.

comiskey will always be my favorite but IMO the best ballpark i have ever been to is miller park. it's a god damn shame the seligs fleeced wisconsin taxpayers to get that gem built. if miller park was built in say, new york, it would have already been declared "greatest ballpark of all time." the arching windows that serve as walls behind the upper deck, the open air power alleys during summer time, and some of the best sight lines i have seen in a park. plus tailgating, what a place. second place: fenway. third place: comiskey. next stop is busch and then camden/rfk sometime.

PNC is a pretty sweet ballpark as well. Good sightlines and cheap tix. Dodger Stadium is classic, but is in desprate need of refurbishment (ie new seats and patching the concrete in the stands)
