That would appear to be a relatively useless click list. There are better lists that at least have something to say about the individual stadium's ranking. The most legitimate criticism of Chase is probably its size. Too many seats for a team that rarely sells out. Proposals to fix the place up include eliminating a bunch of seats. I do wish that they would fix or replace the out of town scoreboard. As to ranking, the requirement for a roof eliminates cool views (Oracle Park, PNC Park, etc.) Fenway and Wrigley are dumps but they have history going for them. Most of this is subjective. I have been multiple times to Nationals Park, Comerica Field and Coors Field. Nats Park and Comerica do badly in these lists while Coors get high marks. They are all 3 middle of the road from my viewpoint. I do agree with the lists that put Oracle Park near the top. I like Petco Park but don't agree with the one list I saw that had it #1. All in all I am just glad that we have a team and venue here. It looks like the threat of moving to Las Vegas is no long happening, but if they abandon downtown and move to the reservation they'll be dead to me and I'll buy a Dodgers jersey.

Vegas is likely going to get the As from Oakland ... however, I definitely agree that it would be completely asinine for the DBacks to abandon Chase Field and move to some far flung location, such as tribal land. There are too many reasons why that's a horrible idea bordering on insanity, and shouldn't even be given another thought. At the same time, I won't buy anything associated with the Dodgers!
