Yankee Stadium!

What makes it special? The history of the stadium. The great players (not JUST Yankee players) who have played on the field, and walked through the halls. Monument Park. Bob Sheppard, who has been announcing games for over 55 years. The moments of American history (Lou Gehrig's speech, for one) which have occurred within the stadium. The one place where over 50,000 people can come together in unity. Where else in the world would you find a place like that? It's almost a religious experience walking into the stadium, and realizing that someone you, or your dad, or your grandfather admired may have stood in the same spot where you might be standing, makes you feel like there is no other place on earth where all of the other differences we may have don't matter, because once you are inside the stadium you realize that WE'RE ALL YANKEES!

I’ve been to 17 different major league ballparks. I think that there is a toss up between Wrigley Field (Chicago (just so you know there was on in California) and Yankee Stadium. Wrigley cause it’s really fan friendly, the free parking in the streets for day games is awesome and the bathrooms are they way they where in the old days a single troff to urinate in. Yankee Stadium has a great atmosphere; with the history and the being able to stand where Babe Ruth once stood is there any one bigger in any sports other then him. In addition, the prices weren’t as bad as I thought they would be, and the food was pretty good. I think the worse stadium is any stadium in Washington DC. The food sucked was over priced, nothing worse then a $4 hotdog that is cold, and parking was a big pain.

Shea Stadium cause I'm a Mets fan! Go Mets!!
But if I were a player looking for hits and home runs, my favorite would be Coors Field in Colorado. The Ball flys farther in that stadium.

I used to live in Baltimore, where I have many fond memories of Memorial Stadium. However, I love the design of Oriole Park @ Camden Yards. I also love the smell of Boog Powell's pit beef wafting through the air, and the looks of wonderment on my son's face whenever I'd take him to the ball game.

Wrigley Field. Tradition-rich, unique beautiful field. Not to mention the atmosphere of the surrounding neighborhood, where every Cubs home game becomes a giant party.

I haven't been to all of them (YET) As a Yankee fan, I have to say .... WRIGLEY FIELD! (OOOPS!). Yankee Stadium is great, but no place in the world is better suited for baseball than good old Wrigley. Fenway is OK. San Francisco's ballpark is nice too.

Definitely the friendly confines of Wrigley Field

Fenway Park. The Red Sox! HELLO!! They are the best! And a lot of people are going to say Yankee Stadium, but they are all fairweather fans, and as soon as their team is in trouble, they are going to bail out on them just like they always do.
