Comment by Dutch Van Duzee on September 17, 2008 at 2:46pm: My rankings were based on overall baseball experience. I really didn't put much stock in food qualtiy...more interested in stadium appearance and features, views from the ballpark, etc.

Comment by Tim on September 16, 2008 at 6:50pm: Been to 12 with 3 of them being defunct (soon to be 3 more and a 4th one in the future).

I cannot put Minute Maid that high. I thought the seating was bad and the food was subpar. I put it behind Turner Field, Comerica Park, and Oriole Park well ahead of it.

How did you rank it?

Comment by Steph (17+5) on September 5, 2008 at 8:44am: I can't imagine why you'd rank my home park, the Metrodome, last on your list. It's the perfect venue -- if you're a Vikings fan. ;)

Can't wait for the new park -- what a relief.

Comment by Craig (17) on September 5, 2008 at 8:09am: Gosh, everyone loves PNC Park- I can't wait to see for myself!! I totally agree with AT&T being in the top 2...that has to be my favorite so far. I only disagree with your ranking of Great American Ball Park. Okay, maybe I am biased being a Reds fan. :)

Comment by Jack (6) on September 4, 2008 at 9:14pm: Interesting rankings. I have only seen 6 parks so it is hard for me to judge. I agree with PNC park- it is my favorite as well.
