seating, fans, and ticket prices or anything else.

Wrigley Field is a dump! It really is. Those that say it is great have probably never even been there. First is getting there. No parking around the stadium. Once inside - the concourses are too small are dark. The bathrooms are just nasty! The mens room - you pee into giant tubs you share with about 10 others. That is the great if you like some drunk peeing on you shoes. Plus the lines are guaranteed to make you miss an inning. Then there is the seats - a LARGE percentage is restricted view! That is right - if you sit downstairs a little back, you have poles in your way. If you sit further back from there - you cannot see high fly balls because the upper deck hangs over too far. The upper deck has poles in your way too. The bleacher "box" seats in right field - you have restricted views of center and left! And they charge you more than regular bleachers for this! And the sound system just sucks. It is either too low, or it blows your ears out.
Sure the ivy is nice, but for watching a game - this place is the worst.

Based on my personal experience, the worst stadium in the league is Pro Players stadium in Miami where the Florida Marlins play. It is a great football stadium, but it is not good to play baseball in.
As for ticket prices, that honor is far and away Fenway Park. Ticket prices are horrible.
As for fan behavior, It would have to be Philadelphia. How many places have a jail cell and a on site court convening to address drunken fan behavior? LOL

Fenway Park is by far the worse stadium in the majors. It's old and smelly and uncomfortable. I suppose you can say there is a lot of history there but somewhere down the road that cheap owner should have put out a few bucks to clean the place up. It's just a miserable place to watch a game. I had looked forward to going there years ago but when I finally went it was a major disappointment.

Whoever didn't say RFK hasn't been there. First of all it's in the middle of the D.C.'s ghetto. I thought i was lost and then i take a right down this busted up hood and BAM! there sits that rotten stadium. That place was a dump! The only good thing that has ever happened there was the Braves visit to town.

Wrigley Field. It is a dump. This park should have been torn down years ago when the concrete started falling off of the upper deck and they had to put in nets to keep people from getting injured. I have had the displeasure of going to several games there and It does not deserve the reputation it gets as being one of baseball's gems. The facilities are so substandard it isn't even funny. Going to the bathroom is like wading through a sewer and the whole park smells of urine. It is dirty and grimy and you literally feel like you need to take a bath after leaving there. It also has very poor lines of sight. If you get unlucky and get stuck behind a pole your view for the game is ruined. To top that all off the ushers are probably the rudest of any sports facility I have ever been, parking is a joke and ticket prices are through the roof. I have never been to one of the other older parks like Yankee Stadium or Fenway so I cant say about them, but from my persepctive Wrigley is horrible and needs to go. On second thought it probably suits the Cubs just fine.

I have to agree with Fenway. Yes, it has history, but it also shows its age. Too few concessions, too many VERY poor views (unless you REALLY pay the price), a strange smell (age) in the corridors, and on top of this, tickets that you have to take a mortgage out to get.
History is one thing. Trying to sell a decrepit building as historical is another entirely.

RFK in Washington is horrible! Half of the stadium literally can not see the entire outfield due to the design.
It not meant to have baseball. They can not build that new stadium fast enough.

Fenway Park horrible seats unless you spend hundreds bad sight lines long concession lines very expensive but it does have a lot of nostalgia and charm.

RFK is pretty bad - it's one of the last multi-purpose stadiums still in use in baseball, and hasn't aged well.
