Finally finished after 28 years

I have finally finished seeing all the MLB ballparks (until next year). I wish they would stop building them so I can hit the minors.

Anyway, since I have now seen all active and some former Major League Ballparks I figured I would rank them. I based my rankings on the stadium look, feel, food, beverages, fun, location, amenities,comfort, fans, history, etc...basically everything that I like).

Thanks. It's frustrating that new park are being built. I try to go to one a 1 a year and to see the White Sox play. So it has been a long road to hoe.

Curious to see why you have Dodger Stadium and Wrigley low.

They have less comfort than the newer parks and the seats are small with obstructed views, a pain to get to and was not impressed with the food. Also, I went for White Sox games in my Sox jersey and did get some jerk offs hassling me at LA. I been to many Cubs games living in Chicago and besides the above reasons, the bathrooms in Chicago were awful guys relieving themselves in the sinks and garbage cans and the lines were long.

Congrats...for now! We ventured to Turner Field this past season to see it before it was gone. I'll be back down to 19 current once Sun Trust opens this spring!

It's a long process. Keep it up. I think I am heading there too in the upcoming season.

My parents took my brother and me to Texas in 1982 or 1984. I wish I had pictures of Arlington Stadium. I remember we called it a Little League field. The Astrodome was COLD! I'd never wanted cocoa so much in the summer. I do have postcards of the Astrodome.

I don't have pics of the old texas either. I don't recall the dome being cold. That's something. I can't believe texas is getting a new park already. :-(
