What do you guys think are the best Stadiums in theses 2 PRO sports

Baseball Without a Doubt is The Pittsburgh Pirates Stadium PNC Park, Great View and Great Site lines, too bad they can't put a Major League team in there

Football has to be Lambeau Field, In Greenbay, I used to like Chicago's but when they remodled it it looks like a Spaceship

Yankee Stadium if only for the immense ammounts of history. Its nothing short of a national landmark.

That new stadium in Denver looks pretty damn nice. As far as seating and game enjoyment, I can say that at Giants Stadium, there isnt one bad seat in the house. Ive sat from the nosebleed section at the corner of the end zone to 2 rows from the bottom at the 50 yard line, and I felt like I had a good view every time.

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

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 best baseball stadium in North America is the SkyDome.

Jacobs Field, hands-down for baseball. The Jake was modeled after Camden Yards, while all other stadiums built since 1994 have taken quite a bit from Jacobs Field.

I don't really like any of the new football stadiums. I liked the old places, like Candlestick Park and Lambau Field. I liked when the games in Sept & Oct were played over the infields of the stadiums where baseball was played. Too many of the new stadiums like in Baltimore, Cleveland, & Seattle are too "modern" and have a corporate feel.

Thankfully, they haven't been able to buy one since 2000! 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.

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).

I've only ever been to one stadium in the US and that's RFK in Washington. The Stade de France in Paris is very impressive but I loved the Stadio Flaminio in Rome where Italy play their rugby internationals, small, cosy and really near to the action.

Fenway is a dump. I'd rather go to a modern ballpark.
