Camden Yards and FedEx Field are the only Stadiums I've been to, so I guess they are the best.

Originally posted by dragonwrangler95: Ive been to Yankee stadium, I didnt find it that great, they need a new park, its sad when small market teams have better stadiums then the Yankees, even though all they do is buy championships Buy championships? Again, I hate this. The Yanks have a big checkbook, and sure, George isn't afraid to use it. But without the revenue sharing, considering are the #1 home and visiting draw consistently (I doubt another team comes close, maybe the BlowSox) and bring in more cash than anyone, I sincerely doubt that many teams like the Expos or Brewers would even still be here. So before you bash the Yanks, lets think about what they bring to the table financially. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Anyone who thinks that Yankee Stadium is not deserving of landmark status in either a complete idiot, or does not live in the United States and has no idea what baseball is. It is a hallowed shrine, much of the game of baseball's rich history was written within that park.

The Yankees, and their stranglehold on the payroll of baseball, have turned me off to a sport which I could not get enough of growing up.

For baseball, I gotta pick Fenway Park. I was considering Wrigley Field, but that place is experiencing so many problems within its structure that it's just ridiculous. Fenway is rich with hisotry, and everyone says that it has a great view of the field as well as the city of Boston. One of the places I must visit before I die.
For football, my pick is Lambeau Field hands down. That stadium is in a class of its own, and I feel that players never experience anything like it elsewhere. Like Yankeee Stadium, it is a sacred shrine to its sport where a lot of rich history was written.

One of the places I must visit before I die. EVERY baseball fan should visit Fenway. Yeah, sure, its old, but that adds to its charm. Its intimate (even if the seats are a little small) and SOME of the seats are behind poles blocking their view of the playing field. It has a sense of "party", and you get a true "feel" of the game watching form its stands. The layout of the field, with all its nooks and crannies, makes it more fun than the new, antiseptic stadiums. Walking past its brick exterior and on its old ramps you can smell its history. (It opened a few days before the Titanic was sunk, and a few years later Babe Ruth started pitching there).
