Who do you think has the best stadium and atmosphere?

What makes it so special?

I am partial to Wrigley Field. Unique and classic stadium, very cool and interesting neighborhood. I am a Cubs fan too so I am somewhat biased there. Beyond that, PNC Park in Pittsburgh may be my next favorate. It really is a terrific ball park with great site lines everywhere, opens to the downtown skyline, and has tons to do around it at the convergence of the three rivers.

I always thought the greatest atmosphere was at Yankee Stadium. Not the current one, that one seems boring and museum like. But the old stadium had a fantastic atmosphere. I went to the 96 ALCS vs the Orioles (Jeffrey Maier game) and that place literally shook. I think the prices at the new stadium have priced out a lot of the diehards that used to make that place great, it just hasn't been the same. I guess out of current stadiums I would say Fenway from my experience. The architecture of the old stadiums allows for a better atmosphere and home field advantage in my opinion because the fans are raucous and so close to the field that they feel like they're right on top of the players, not so with the design of today's mega parks

Stadium itself is a different answer. If we're judging by scenery, amenities, location, etc. I would go with AT&T (is that what it's called now?) in San Francisco

THE GOOD

The OLD Yankee Stadium
The New Yankee Stadium (just not as good as the old one)
Wrigley Field
Camden Yards
Progressive Park
Citizens Bank Park
Citi Field
Great American Ballpark


THE "MEH" (Not Bad, but not great)

Turner Field
Miller Park

THE UGLY

Tropicana Field.




The OLD Yankee Stadium had the greatest. The new one? Not as much.

Wrigley Stadium is terrific as well and it pains me to say that because I am a Reds fan.

I've been to Cincinnati and thought they could have had the best stadium in the league when they were building it but they screwed it up. It just seems "incomplete" to me. Still solid though.

Camden Yards is pretty good as is Progressive Field.

Milwaukee isn't good at all. Shame. Very bland. Same with Turner Field.

Tropicana Field is terrible.

Wrigley is the greatest. I say that as a Brewers fan. Miller Park is,as stated,meh. One good thing is that their are almost all quality seats.
