I've attended many MLB games in many various ballparks and I'll say that San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park, SBC Park, or Pacific Bell Park is far the best. The view of the bay is unbeatable, the atmosphere there makes me want to never leave the ballpark. I've been to the Yankee Stadium and its a ok-ok stadium, never really liked it. I'll be attending a New York Mets game next week against the Reds at Shea Stadium so can't wait to see the stadium! What do you think?

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!
Hope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !
Nicest park I've attended is Orioles Park at Camden Yards. Just beautiful. That complex also houses the best NFL football stadium as well, M&T Bank Stadium.
But the BEST park is by far Yankee Stadium. If you walk into a game there, fully packed with 50,000 fans (as most are), you can't help but get goosebumps as you almost feel the electricity and history. It's great.
Conversely Shea Stadium, in which I've watched dozens and dozens of games, is a total DUMP, and the worst park in the major leagues, as constantly voted by players and fans alike. Thankfully the Mets and their loyal fans are going to be rewarded with a new stadium soon.
Hope this helps!

I have a huge book describing every MLB stadium but I have only ever been to Yankee Stadium. I think there are a lot of great ones and it's hard to pick just 1 so i will give u some of my favorites (in no particular order) Yankee Stadium (beacause of Monument Park), Great American Ballpark(because it is just beautiful) , what ever hell the name is of the Giants park is considering the name changes every second(because of the McCovey Cove), Safeco Field(because of the nice retractable roof), Bank One Ballpark,(because of the hot tub and pool) Comerica Park, (because of all the tigers around the field and the long fences),and Jacobs Field (because of the fence and the restaurant on top of the fence and the nice panaramic view of downtown Cleveland. By the way Shea Stadium is one of the worst parks in baseball.

Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City is high on this list.People don't consider this ballpark on a nice one because it doesn't get that much publicity but it is beautiful!!A lot of people who have been there have said it is the nicest.I heard on the radio about some guy who was going to all 30 ballparks and Kauffman Stadium was one of the best he saw on his trip.They will be starting some renovations on it soon which is expected to make it that much nicer.

I'd have to say Fenway Park. But it's more then the park itself (which is beautiful). The place is so vibrant. I go whenever I have the chance because it feels like I'm part of somthing huge when I'm there. It's the most welcoming place too. Like a second home. If you ever get a chnce to go (redsox fan or not) then check it out and you'll see what I'm talking about. The Green Monster is quite a sight. The last link is the best view.

ive been to pacbell park (or whatever its called now) in SF to see a game and it definately is a nice stadium, i like dodger stadium because it has a lot of history (2nd oldest in NL behind Wrigley) and the new Petco Park in SD is really good looking with the buildings integrated into the stadium. For parks outside cali i cant say.

I'll give it to AT&T Park followed by Milwaukee's Miller Park and then Cincinnati's Great American. I've been to many including Wrigley (Only nice in terms of history) and the Metrodome (horrible baseball experience).
I've only seen Shea from the outside, it's a dump.

AT&T park has the best view and seems to be the cleanest park so far. Not just the view of the game but of the surrounding area. On a nice day, you can see very good views of the ocean and the bay area, beautiful...

Although I've never been to either, I hear that Fenway Park is quite and experience..not necessarily the prettiest or cleanest but definitely an experience. As far as beauty goes, I hear that the Orioles ballpark is the best.
My boyfriend's entire family are huge baseball fans (mostly Red Sox) but they really loved Baltimore.
