Whatever you’ve heard of Detroit being a shambles, Comerica Park is nothing like that. In fact, it is so far from that image that it truly surprises people sometimes. The huge water fountain in the field can put up a huge light show and it can be synchronized to any music.
Comerica Park may perhaps be the most child-friendly baseball stadium on this list and in America. It has a 50-foot Ferris wheel which the younger kids can ride free of charge.
I stopped reading when they named Fenway park number two.
It’s number two, all right
Can’t believe Miller Park ranked so high. It’s like watching a game inside a huge spaceship or inside a warehouse. The roof is rarely open and when it is for a day game, shadows are so bad that even the players complain. I can tailgate out on the street with my neighbors. The other parks listed are outdoor ballparks – like baseball was meant to be played. And they are located in fun-time neighborhoods, unlike Miller Park. Milwaukee made a mistake by not building their park downtown near Lake Michigan and the fun spots. They built on the cheap, on county land where County Stadium was.
Wrigley field should be nowhere near the top 10. So much seating with obstructed view because of old upper deck pillars. Even with the ongoing renovation the bathrooms are still like a smelly outhouse. Renovation is all about more dollars like building a hotel and outdoor beer garden and advertising sign revenue instead of fan comfort. BTW. No parking lots for the fans. For watching a game with great site views, great concessions, plentiful clean and modern bathrooms and convenient ballpark parking lots, US CELL 6 miles south blows Wrigley away.
I believe Buffalo’s ball stadium is the best. Seats around 18,000 and every seat hanging off the field.
Also the Mets Citi field is significantly better, friendlier and closer to a real ball park then the cavernous Yankee Stadium
Kauffman stadium should have been on your list instead of Detroit’s Commerica park which has a view of an ugly Detroit skyline. Kauffman hosted 2 World Series in 2014 and 15 and it shined like the crown jewel it is.
1. Dodger Stadium.
And What about Progressive Field Home Of the Cleveland Indians? It’s a great ballpark!
