I'm as big of a White Sox fan as you can get, but even I have to admit that there's nothing quite like getting into your seat at Wrigley Field and taking in the entire view of the field, ivy, and hand-operated scoreboard. All of the new stadiums can spend as much money as you want on various amenities, but that view tucked into a Chicago neighborhood is something that can't be replicated anywhere. You could drop most other stadiums into any town anywhere and you wouldn't know the difference, but Wrigley is definitely one-of-a-kind.

Your average Big Ten football stadium also beats any NFL stadium (outside of Lambeau Field) any day.

I just realized that two of my favorite stadiums are homes to two of the teams I hate the most (Cubs and Packers). Ugh!

Post The next step...

University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ is, in my opinion, the most unique and creative stadium out there. Built to look like a coiled-up rattlesnake around a barrel cactus. I was down there for spring break and it was breathtaking. I should also throw in Quest Field, just because it is amazingly loud when the Seahawks play

Dodger Stadium has to be one of the most beautiful stadium's in America. For as old as it is, Dodger Stadium still shines like a brand new ball park.

Wrigley field is a beauty. I like old stadiums, though.

I think St. Louis' Busch Stadium has a very recognizable backdrop. And the red brick really fits in well with the city. A lot of older buildings and homes in St. Louis are made of brick and stone, which helps protect from the elements.
