They're all pretty good places to see a game.
The choice today is Yankee, which has one thing going for (against, really) it that the others do not -- it is on the clock, destined to be closed after the 2008 season (or 2008 postseason, to float the hopes of Yankee fans). So opportunities to see The House That Ruth Built are counting down quickly.
That said... each park, on its own merits, is pretty good. They're all expensive. I've been to all three, and they all reflect the times they were built -- tiny, cramped corridors and concourses, smallish and cramped seats (people were demographically tinier back around 1920), and cramped little restrooms. Yeah -- cramped sums them up. You get really packed in with everyone else. This isn't a bad thing as such, but something to allow for; getting around is tight, and all three yards are typically filled with fans.
But you're sitting there, watching a 2007 game on a field steeped in history, at the batting boxes where once stood Ted or Babe or Ernie, the mound commandeered by Alexander or Ruffing or Grove or Clemens, and that sort of thing does ring deeply.
Visit the one that, soon, you won't be able to visit again. Then pencil in the other two when you can.

I'd pick Yankee stadium. It has so much history there and I'm a Yankees fan, so I think it would be great to go there. It would also be nice to go to their new stadium once it opens up. Only one season left to visit the House that Ruth Built. Then I would have to say Wrigley would be next on my list. I live in Milwaukee, so I have a better chance of getting to Wrigley than I do Yankee stadium. I honestly would probably never set foot in Fenway park unless it was to see a Yankees game.

Been to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field many times...next on the list is Fenway Park....maybe the scene of a Cubs and Red Sox World Series

Yankee Stadium. Not just because I am a Yankee fan but because they are about to build the new stadium. I think it would be cool to be in the same place where the greatest baseball players ever have played. Fenway and Wrigley aren't going anywhere.

Look at my "login"....what do you think is my answer....never been there and have always told my ex girl friends and ex-wives that when I die I want to be cremated and spread in centerfield of Yankee Stadium....of course if that happens in the next year or two...I might end up being in a parking lot once the new stadium is built........would also try for Wrigley and Fenway.....lots of great history in all three!....GO YANKEES!

Since I've already been to Fenway a hand full of times, I'd have to say Wrigley field.

I've been to Yankees Stadium about 40-50 times, but I'm still in awe of Monument Park; and all the history.

Fenway .there is no other configuration in baseball.
Wrigley is nice ballpark ,but it has the same look as many others. fenway is unique
