My wife and I just got back from Seattle and I've got to say, Safeco is an amazing ballpark. Really friendly environment, cool amenities. I'm an Angel fan and I really like Angel's Stadium a lot, but man Safeco is great. We're going to try to do Petco by the end of the year, I hear a lot of great things.
What's your favorite? Why?

Being in Chicago, you might think I would automatically say Wrigley. No chance. It's the most overrated ballpark in MLB. It's crumbling away to dust, smells like urine and is loaded with green poles that obscure your view. The only good thing I can say for it is that it's like a giant frat party with plenty off eye candy.
Honestly, I would be tempted to pick Dodger Stadium. I love that place. It has the old time feel but not necessarily ancient. I always try to catch a game there when in town. Never been to Angel's Stadium although I was supposed to, got messed up during my last visit.
Also, Miller Park in Milwaukee is awesome. All the amenities, great food. easy access and load of parking. Having a retractable dome only makes too much sense since our weather bites. Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati is sweet. You can just walk right up to the ticket booth and get box seats at face value for some incredible games.
I must get to Seattle one of these days. Heard nothing but great things about that city.
Oh yeah, Jacobs Field is also very cool. Great location as it's close to all the action Cleveland has to offer.

i've been to 22 parks and im 14 and i would have to say my favortie experience was at angels stadium with the atomsphere it was 2002 though and they hit a walkoff homerun but still the fans there are great but excpet that the coolest parks are Giants stadium with the bay and i like the old stadium of wrigley with the history i would say fenway is not my favorite because it just seems too old in a way the seats aren't nice and the food is expensive and not many places to get it but since it's historic it could be a good place to go. i went to the old Padres stadium so i don't have much to say about it, um i also like the Texas Rangers stadium it is a nice field with a great setup and just a fun place to go to, there team kinda sucks right now so i don't know how fun it is but it's a very nice park. i was at safeco this summer and the fans there love there baseball, and it has nice hotel right across the street which makes games accessible easy and the game itself is usually a good one. Yankee stadium is too crazy and so big i went there a couple of years ago though while they were playing the red sox on July 4th and it was a great time so i had fun since there was 9 homeruns hit but after all the parks i've been to i would have to say my favorite except Wrigley Field since i'm a cubs fan has to be Detroits stadium (comerica) based on just the ballpark. it was real fun to go to the game and it's located right near the Lions stadium and it's not a great city but i love the ballpark there and also Anahiems which i know you also like.

Nothing can beat the experience of Yankee Stadium, with all the history there.
Jacobs Field in Cleveland is an awesome place as well. Great field with lots around it.
Also PNC Park in Pitt is an awesome place. Theres really not a bad seat in the place. THe only thing that stinks is the Pirates.

I might be biased because I'm an Indians fan, but I really dig Jacobs Field. I had the opportunity to see a few games during their '96 and '97 seasons when they were *really* good, and it was awesome. And it seemed like no matter where I sat the view was decent.
A good part of the atmosphere created at the field, though, is created by the fans. To call them rabid is an understatement.
Edit: yankees2621 - good call on PNC Park. It's also very cool.

I loved the experience in Baltimore at Camden yards, it was nice to mingle with former greats likek Boog Powell...but as far as experience I have to go with Fenway, it may be old but it is still great, the fans are into it, the seats are not overly expensive, the concessions are what you would expect but the experience itself is just great! Not really a Sox fan but loved going when I lived there!

I have to say I was only at ONE stadium in my life and that was Yankee Stadium. I can't put down the others because I never been any where else. But Yankees Stadium is awesome. I love to listen to the bleacher creatures and there is so much history here. ECT ECT ECT

I would have to say Camden Yards in Baltimore for the following reasons.
All of the seats are affordable and you can take your entire family.
The sight lines are incredible and the seats are not on top of each other.
The grounds are in immaculate condition.
The food is awesome.
Plenty of parking and a train that stops directly in front of the stadium.
And the crowd is very diverse.

I miss Busch II. For being a 40-year-old park, they kept it spanking new and fan friendly until the day they tore it down. I haven't had a chance to go to Busch III, yet, but they say it's even better.
Great American is a nice park. A little narrow for my taste, but still a lot of activities for families and good sight lines for the game.

Chase Field, it has a great view from any part of the park, and with the automatic ceiling, it has a perfect temperature every game
