In your opinon what are the 5 worst stadiums in the MLB today?

Question

I've been to almost every MLB ball park here are my 5 ranked in order.

5. RFK - A converted football stadium need I say more?
4. Dolphin Stadium
3. Metrodome
2. Shea Stadium- It's a dump surrounded by chop shops.
1. Tropicana Field- It's like being in prison

Answer 1

I agree with your selections and Shea studium some times you can't even hear or enjoy because of all the aircraft

Answer 2

RFK and Dolphin Stadium would obviously be 1 and 2 because they're NFL stadiums not MLB stadiums.

# 3 - Minute Maid Park in Houston, TX...what an oddly shaped ballpark. What's the deal with the trashpile hump in centerfield....? And the weird archways over the leftfield wall, you can't tell if it's a homerun because almost everything bounces back on the field.

# 4 - Tropicana Field in TB, FL...you know there's something wrong when you have to make different rules for which rafter -ring the ball hits: homerun on one ring, double on another...what a joke! But hey, gotta love the free parking, how else would they get people to come to the games.

# 5 - Yankee Stadium - Looks like a giant urinal from above. Plus I heard their team sucks.

Answer 3

Both New York Stadiums are pretty bad and boring too look at, RFK, Tropicana, and the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome round out the list!

Answer 4

Hmmm... so many are new that there's very few olde-tyme parks which are real dumps as well.

Tropicana (Tampa Bay) is, well, it's a dog.

Shea (NY Mets) -- nothing memorable, sayonara 2008.

RFK (Washington) -- never been there, but can't think this relic will be missed. Last (finally!!!) of the "giant ashtray" era.

US Cellular (Chicago White Sox) -- never been there either, but I cannot recall one positive thing said about it.

Metrodome (Minnesota) -- it's going away soon, so may as well bash on it. Been there once; felt like a huge lecture hall. The Twins did what they could, but there was just no making the place really warm 'n baseball friendly.

I've never been to whatever-its-called where the Marlins play, but primary-football stadia are never the best environment for a baseball game.

Answer 5

I've been to quite a few ballparks (17) over the years--The Trop being my home field. At first it was horrible but with a lot of improvements, it's become bearable. Unfortunately, the high temp combined with 90%+ humidity, & sudden thunderstorms all summer,it needs to be covered. That being said, here's my 5 that I've been to:

5-- Trop
4-- Dodger
3--Oakland
2--Shea
1--Dolphin- baseball in a football stadium

Haven't been to RFK or Metrodome

Answer 6

If you're talking "all-time" then I would think that Candlestick would be high on the list.
I mean really, where else in the world do you have to bring a big winter coat to an afternoon summer game?

Candlestick.

And where else in the world do you get owned by sea gulls who steal your lunch?

Yeah...Candlestick.

You know, even though it was windy and you had to fight with brave species of sea gulls, atleast the traffic was bad.

Answer 7

Shea is great if you have been there.
great sight lines.
But old and time to change .
Cold and I have been to baseball and football there.
real cold
Restrooms are out of date.
So they will update and understand .
But I am a long timer and loved it for so many years.

Others not been there no comment.
Can I have a BA please for my contribution

Answer 8

5-miller park ugly
4-la dodgers ruined
3-citizens park -the fans are really rude
2-marlins-dumb
1-rfk- looks like little league park

Answer 9

Answer 10
