Kauffman Stadium is a nice park since they have made changes to the outfield. I also am fond of AT&T Park because it has the nice view of Mc Covey cove, another good site at AT&T is Tim Lincecum and the BIG UNIT (Randy Johnson). I would love to visit the Ballpark at Arlington home of the Texas Rangers. Arlington Ballpark has a nice classic feel to the park such as the grandstands. I wish I was around during the 1990's so I could visit Tiger Stadium in Detroit because I am a Tigers fan and know allot about the history on the park and it is a classic park that should still be standing.
