As a Yankee fan, I am required to say Yankee Stadium but with that park aside... Camden Yards is excellent.  I love the fans there, the micro brews, the statue of Babe Ruth just outside the gates... It is just a cool place.

I want to be a homer and say PNC Park in Pittsburgh.  It is quite a small, beautiful ballpark.  Bud Selig seemed to admire it enough to bring the All Star Game back here just 12 years since we hosted it last.  And while PNC doesn't hold the same historical significance as Fenway, Wrigley, or Yankee Stadium, the tickets are dirt cheap.  I have had 9 dollar seats, 26 dollar seats, and 250 dollar seats, and the view from all of them are breathtaking.  Maybe not one of the best of all time, but the best of the new ballparks.

My hero   - Jim Thome -   we sat next to the dugout at cleveland indians spring training game in 1996  -  he cracked his bat and gave it to us\n\nAddition\nReply to answerer regarding Jim Thome snubbing youth- wow -  well-  when Jim Thome walked off the field he had my husband (now ex) bring my youngest son (2 1/2 years old) over so he could hand it to him .  He had posed with a great big smile for a picture  for my other son - almost 6 at the time right before he batted -  and Manager Mike Hargrove chatted with me and gave me two baseballs for my sons  -  so all I saw was the fact that they were  extremely nice to kids.

The most unneeded thing in a stadium is that concrete field in Montreal.  I know they don't use it anymore but it is still standing.  I remember watching an Expos game against the Braves and Chipper Jones hit a sky high ball and the outfielder lost it in the lights and when the ball came down, it bounced so high that Chipper was at 3rd base by the time they were able to field the ball.  If you are talking about current stadiums is Petco Park's gaps.  Those things are like a mile away from the plate and 422 in the Left Center gap is absolutely ridiculous.  Second is that hill in Center Field in Houston which is also a ridiculous number of feet away from the plate.

It was and still is my absolute favorite place to visit: the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago.\nFrom the U-boat, to the train display (and Burlington Zephyr). to the stairwell with the anatomical sections and the four-stories tall pendulum showing the motion of the earth.\nThis place ROCKS!\nMy earliest memory was back in the 1960's as the old style news teletype hacked away news reports from around the world.\nThat got me interested in going into the news business.\nThe Egyptian mummy display was a scary place as a kid, but still a lot of fun to visit.\nAnd just the overall SIZE of this place...it was fun just to hang out, outside.

BOSTON SOX ALL THE WAY!!! No, I'm not the least bit excited about baseball (can ya tell?). :) I'm really looking forward to the season, and my city now has a new 1A team that is a farm team for Boston. Go Drive!!! Ok, I know, the Greenville Drive isn't the most exciting name, but it's better than the Sand Gnats. No offense to the Sand Gnat fans meant of course.

The Yankees are the greatest baseball team ever!  My favorite player is Derek Jeter because he is a true Yankee.  He will never play for another team!!

A Yankees vs.Red Sox game is the ultimate experience.  There is so much energy in the ballpark, it's like a party atmosphere.  I've seen several of these games at Yankee Stadium including the infamous 7/1/04 game that went 12 or 13 innings and Jeter made that spectacular play into the stands.  Security is tight at these games. We got kicked out of the stadium not once but twice.  1st...my brother was shoved by a Red Sox fan enroute from getting some beer and my husband tried to break it up.  Cops escorted them out and then came for my sister-in-law and myself(minding our own business) We snuck back in to the loge section and got asked to leave because my brother(again) would not reverse his Boston Sucks shirt..but we were able to get back in again!! The Yankees won that game 5-4

♡Take a look at what this site says:\nhttp://www.vrg.org/nutshell/ballpark.htm \n----> Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles Dodgers \n"It is impressive that Dodger Stadium offers Gardenburgers, vegetarian lasagna, pasta, vegetarian pizza, and a salad bar. Also offered are popcorn, Cracker Jacks, bread-sticks, peanuts, potato chips, soft pretzels, nachos, ice cream, pizza, yogurt, and spicy peanuts. The French fries are fried in vegetable oil apart from any meat products. (Food service Provider: ARAMARK)" Hope this helps! Have a great time at the game! (*^o^*) You can choose something that you might think is better for you or just enjoy a hot dog with everyone else and have fun at the game. ～I personally love the hot dogs!\nCheck this site under "Concessions"\nhttp://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/la/ballpark/ballpark_guide.jsp

I think the new stadium was most definetly needed although I was sad to see it go.  I like the feel of the new park.  It gives me the feeling of, "this is what a modern day ballpark is supposed to feel like".  The atmosphere is just so fresh, and a great place for the cardinals to kick ass!!!

My all time Yankees team is the team that collapsed two years ago after being up 3 games in the ALCS. Love that team so much!!! I love the Red Sox.

There are really only three nice hotels near the ballpark.  They are the Cincinnatian, the Westin and the Hilton Netherland Plaza.  The Cincinnatian is the smallest of the three and the Westin has a very open layout which is not conducive to people in the public eye wanting privacy.  \n\nMany groups prefer the Hilton because of it's layout.  It also takes up an entire city block and has several entrances for privacy.
