How did Comerica get a 7 seed in that thing? Turner Field was also ridiculously overrated. That said....

Wrigley

ATT

Comerica

Fenway

Rangers Ballpark (also given a very generous seeding)

Camden

Dodger

PNC

 
Fenway is a #### hole.... I go watch sox games 20-30 times a year worst stadium ever. small, crowded, dirty, view sucks.....it has history but the only thing I'd do with that place is make it HISTORY.

Remember this is after one or two rounds - not sure what Comerica's original # was

Wrigley would win on tradition, but Coors is a very nice new stadium so I gave it the nod.

Petco is an abomination.

Safeco does nothing for me.

Huge Cardinals fan and like the new stadium - but Fenway would be my number 1 seed.

Rangers Ballpark - what not to like other than the weather...it is a pinball machine.

Camden would be my two seed, Citizens is nice but no comparison.

Miller Park has the sausage races, nuff said.

Turner field is in Atlanta, thereby making it a horrible place.

Don't get the Petco thing.I thought Petco was a really nice ballpark. Good sightlines, Tony Gwynn park outside of Left Field. The Warehouse with the patios is a wonderful unique feature. Decent food, very good beer selection. Part of the ESPN criteria is surroundings. If you're going to take that into consideration, being able to walk out of the park right into the Gaslamp is pretty kick ###.

And speaking of abominations.... New Busch sucks. Has no character what-so-ever. Just sterile and plain.

Tough matchup for Petco though. The only area where it clearly beats AT&T is the weather

Agreed on the tough matchup. Can't wait to get to AT&T. I don't agree on the place being an abomination
 
Dodger stadium is horrible. Last time I went there was for a Giants game. I've got two diehard Giants fans so four of us landed seats down the first base line. Two rooting for the blue, two rooting for SF. It was a fun game and the Dodgers pulled out the victory. As we were leaving the stadium, we of course ran into a group of wannabe thugs who took issue with my buddies wearing Giants gear. Typical shouts of your team sucks, who's in first place jabs were tossed back in forth. Fun stuff that happens in every stadium. Then the other group shouted "San Francisco is full of f ags." Of course my buddy immediately responds with "At least the f ags are all here legally." :mellow: That set off the cholos. Their woman started screaming expletives at us, claiming she was from El Salvador and they were here legally and wtf were we to start demanding to see their green card. Nevermind nobody had said anything about a green card. Words were exchanged as folks started getting in each other's face swearing/shouting at each other. People started shoving each other and threats were exchanged all around. This went on for a solid 5 minutes before tempers finally cooled as we reached the parking lot. I noticed we passed 3 employees during this whole ordeal.

I've been to a lot of other stadiums (usually wearing opposing colors/gear) but I'll compare this to the other SoCal stadium. In Anaheim, if something even appears to be breaking out, security is there in a nanosecond to break things up. It's shocking to see such a stark contrast between the two. In short, Dodger stadium isn't so great but the fans make it much, much worse. There's a higher percent of jerkoffs here than a lot of other places.

Never been to Dodger Stadium but based on Dr. Awesome's personal review, it sounds delightful. I have been to Miller Park and liked it.

Down to the Final 4. Somehow Miller Park beat PNC and now is leading Camden. UPSET ALERT!

I've been to 3 of the 4 (sans Camden). Miller Park is utilitarian at best. Whatever charms it has come from its patrons and bratwurst. Other than that, it's a retractable-roofed ashtray set in the middle of a parking lot.

I call BS on this - you are talking about an incident in a parking lot. That is NOT the stadium as it relates to a venue for baseball games.Dodger Stadium is a beautiful stadium in an very nice setting and the field/fences/hitting background/condition of IF/OF are all excellent compared to most major league ballparksYes there is an element of hooligans in the parking lot (you rarely hear of anything like that IN the stadium) but that is the case in many ballparks............and further it takes two groups to get involved.....one group not reacting to such crap quiets the other pretty quickly
 
You can call whatever you like. I've been to a lot of stadiums. I've been to a lot of games at Dodger stadium as well (that's my only personal incident in at least 2 dozen times I've gone). It's a fine stadium. Nothing as beautiful as Giants or Padres but it's not nearly the trainwreck that is my team's stadium in Oakland. There's some nice history to it as well. But baseball will miss nothing when it's torn down and re-built. And that incident started maybe 20 feet from the main gate. It continued to the parking lot. Frankly, the crowd that shows up to Dodger games has a much higher hooligan percent than any other stadium. Though I've never been to Citizens Bank. It's not just at that stadium. Even at Angels stadium when the Dodgers have come to town I've seen at least 8 incidents where a fan was escorted out and/or moved to another part of the park. Every single time it's been a Dodger fan who was instigating things. Maybe I see it because I've been to so many games (go to at least a dozen between the two stadiums each year). But it sure seems of all the parks I've visited, Dodgers stadium seems to have a higher percent of complete morons looking for a fight.
