I can’t figure Fenway and Wrigley are going to be mutilated anytime soon-both ownerships have renovated and updated the parks, so as cheap as the Rickets are and as disinterested as John Henry has been in recent years I can’t see any threat to their continued venerability…
Listen here I’m a Chicago resident and I’ll say with 100% confidence that Wrigley is the most overrated stadiums you can ever go to. You piss in troughs, no one there actually goes for the actual games unless it’s the playoffs, and the fans are awful. Full of piss drunk assholes that smell. It’s literally the worst ballpark in its division. Their adherence to tradition is killing so many potential viewing spots.
Fenway park is okay in terms of anywhere the players go. Outside of that, it's not that glamorous. The seating sucks. Not only are many of the seats themselves uncomfortable but the beams obstruct your view, and there isn't 300 level seating to avoid it. There's no parking, and you might see a rat or two in the bathroom. At least they sell Sam Adams and have Sweet Caroline though.
Luckily both parks are considered historical landmarks by the US government, meaning they cannot be torn down, only refurbishments for safety. One of the very few good things about the govt😂

Anyone else find stadiums that sit in the middle of a sea of parking lot to be kinda depressing and ugly? I know people gotta get to the game but it's so soulless and desolate to look at. I'd rather most of that parking lot be replaced with parks, bars, restaurants, and other fun stuff. Also the train ride home after a big win is always a fun experience with other fans.
I still wish they would have just spent the money upgrading original Yankee stadium. The amount of history that took place in that old ballpark.... breaks my heart they tore it down
For real. I was in new york as a child for the last regular season at yankee stadium while they were building the new one across the street. Very sad, but im glad i got to see the old one in person.
@@averyreach9958 The old Yankee Stadium was refurbished for 2 seasons(74-75) before reopening in time for the 76 season!! The Yankees during those 2 seasons when the stadium was being refurbished played their home games at Shea Stadium. Ironically in 1998 during their then record breaking year for most wins by a franchise in a season, the Yanks played at Shea for a few games because of a piece of concrete that fell in the seating area at Yankee Stadium. That episode convinced Steinbrenner that the time came for a new stadium in the Bronx.
They can do this to practically any old stadium, especially ones that were only 20 years old when they got tossed aside lol. It's not hard to just renovate old stadiums, even really old ones, but these rich owners of these baseball teams want shiny new stadiums paid for by taxpayers, even if it means tearing down decades' worth of history.
Minnesota here. We never realized we were being cut short by having both football and baseball in the same stadium. In the old Metrodome there was a like 50 foot space between third base and the crowd. There were also parts of the stadium where the best nosebleed seats were near the worst good seats. Just all around goofy design when you try to cram a diamond and a rectangle into a giant square.
I was so sad when the Astros moved out of the dome, but I have to say, minute maid is a fantastic park. Unique, pretty, and they've done a really good job of keeping the classic astetics while keeping up the modern amenities. I'm really happy with it.
There is no better behind home plate view in all of baseball than at PNC Park. Especially for one of those early-evening or late-afternoon starts, where you get the view of the bridges and skyline during the day, at sunset, at dusk, AND at night all in one game.
used to be hard to argue but the concourses are boring, exterior amenities/environment sucks compared to other places, and of course the product on the field goes without saying. I think there are several now that I'd rank higher and most that give it high marks have been to few other places
@@412foto I’ve been to over 20 current ballparks and about 25 in total. Quality of the game itself aside… PNC Park is my top place to see a game (followed by San Francisco, Wrigley Field, and San Diego… Coors Field is up there depending on the weather).
I have not been there myself. But a friend of mine used to work for ESPN. She helped host people who won tickets to games as part of various contests, and so she's been to pretty much every stadium and arena. She said PNC Park is the best place to watch a game not only for MLB but for any of the four major North American sports leagues.
One thing about Citizens Bank Park that could’ve been mentioned is that if you sit behind home plate to down the right field line, you can get a view of the city skyline in the background. As a Phillies fan, I honestly couldn’t be happier with the ballpark. Love going there.
grew up going to the Vet. Went to Citizens for first time about 3 years ago and thought it was a gorgeous stadium and nicer than the other one that gets all of the love in PA
Same in Seattle. That right field line looks across to the more open left field with the arches of the Seahawks stadium in the foreground with the downtown skyline behind.
As a not Phillies fan….I LOVED this ballpark. It is what a baseball stadium should feel like even if it’s newer. I like it better than either Florida stadium and the new Yankees stadium. I’m a Sox fan and Fenway is my absolute favorite
Another great thing about CBP and the rest of the Philly Sports Complex is how accessible it is. Its literally right next to the highway and the Broad Street Line subway is right there. You don’t have to walk far if you’re tailgating and if you can’t go to the game, hanging out at Xfinity Live is the next best thing.
Camden Yards is by far my favorite ballpark in the MLB. The fact that like half of the parks built after it were shameless ripoffs of it just shows how successful it was.
I have to agree, I haven’t been to every ball park, but I really feel that Camden yards is actually the best one I’ve been to, the stadium with the best lobby is obviously Citi Field, Yankee Stadium unfortunately is extremely expensive and overrated for a place that doesn’t even feature a retractable roof
I've never been to Petco but I've only heard good things about it. Seems like it's not being underrated anymore. And the team has been doing good too, so there's that
Integrating the Western Metal Supply Company building to literally be inside the stadium is so special. Really is emblematic of baseball stadiums: unique dimensions, walls, overhangs, hills(!) all lend so much character!
The best Angels home game was played at Dodgers Stadium in 1988. The broadcast team was Curt Gowdy, Tim McCarver, Jim Palmer, Mel Allen, Dick Vitale, Dick Enberg, and Dr. Joyce Brothers. It was also Jay Johnstone and Reggie Jackson's final game.
@@thetrevster6983 I've been to one Angels' game in my life and we got in for a dollar. It was the nosebleed seats and a big group of mentally challenged adults sat next to us. One of the mentally challenged people kept saying "Hit a home run, sweetie" during every Angels at bat. It was great. It was an Angels vs. A's game back in '93.
They chose lime stone for target field because it’s one of Minnesota’s most abundant rocks/minerals. It’s for the same reason why the twins colors are blue, red, White and kasota gold.
@@jaydengraham8303 Every year? That's an exaggeration. Chapman, Olson were here for 4 years, Bassit was here for 5 years, Canha was here for 7 years, Manaea was here for 5 years. Semien was here for 6 years, Not like they are having one season and then getting traded. Fisher is trash but Beane keeps us competitive 4 out of every 6 seasons. I'll take contending for a title 67% of the time over making it 40% of the time like most MLB teams
@@oubrioko -- Voters in Jackson County will not approve of the bonds (ie, tax hikes) needed to build a downtown stadium as long as we have a perfectly good stadium at the TSC.
@@gregb6469 That assumes that they'll stick with Jackson County when the lease expires. They have been courting the *city* of Kansas City in recent months.
Yup, and Camden Yards which was built (1992) before Ameriquest/Globe Life (1994), is still standing, whereas the latter was only here for 25 seasons, even their first stadium Turnpike/Arlington stadium, had been here for a lot longer, primarily used as a minor league park, before the Rangers moved here in 1972 from D.C., being the second Senators franchise, after the first one moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, to become the Twins in 1961.
When I went to the area I noticed and was shocked to find there was a six flags there but looked very very small compared to the one we have in Illinois? Was seeing it right?
I was in Pittsburg and stayed at a hotel in downtown with a view of the river and PNC field. Gotta say that was a pretty amazing view. Got to watch a concert and a few ball games. Yes you could hear everything. The bowl shape projects the sound across the river. Every time a homer is hit on TV I can see my hotel room!
Still proud of oriole park, love how it was the beginning of the retro baseball parks! I remember going to memorial stadium as a kid so once OPACY opened I could always appreciate the beauty of it!!
Hard to believe that Dodger Stadium is now 60 years old. I grew up in the LA area and went to my first MLB game there in 1962. "My, how time does fly !" It's still a beautiful ball park.
The parking/concourse area on the home plate side is designed so it looks like a mitt from above. Sucks they way the land was acquired but it has the biggest Hispanic fan base. Fernando mania had a lot to do with it.👍🏼
As a member of the first generation of young Nats fans since 2005, Only now starting to appreciate how much epic baseball has taken place at Nats park. It’s crazy to think it’s 14 Years old now. Feels like just yesterday that Zimmerman walked off the first day.
Guaranteed rate/us cellular/comiskey Park is a GREAT place to see a game. Sight lines are perfect, food and beer is second to none, and it's so easy to get in and out of. You really did us dirty here
Yeah...I've been to Kaufmann many a time pre and post 2010 renovation. Even back then, it was still a good looking ball park. So yeah, if you want to check out a couple of games at the "K"-as we fans lovingly call it- we'll be happy to show you around.
Those of us old enough to remember going to some of the long-gone ballparks of the last century can testify that it made for a much different baseball experience. Many of the parks were in the bad part of town, run-down, and without the amenities modern fans expect. Most fans of the time came to actually see baseball being played at its highest level. They were unconcerned about canned sound effects, gourmet food, costumed mascots, and all the other silly things that are apparently needed to keep "fans" interested.
As someone who has been to a lot of old stadiums like Candlestick, they were not that great on the inside, but the outside was awe-inspiring, especially old Busch Stadium.
As someone who grew up & still lives 18 miles outside Philly, I love how all 3 stadiums are in close proximity to one another. Also ample room for parking. Wish the Union was there too. *oh and the city as the backdrop is so good. Ik it’s in others but Philly has a unique skyline.
@@MNice82 Same here. I sort of miss the old Metrodome, but not enough that I'd actually WANT to sit on the third base line during a game (and visit a chiropractor the day after).
I certainly hope you still feel that way when you try to sit there and watch April games while the temperatures are still in the 40s or try to watch playoff baseball in October when the temperatures dips below 40 because they wanted an open air field instead of having a retractable roof for obvious reasons based on that particular part of the country
@@yell0wberry When it's cold, you can always wear a jacket. People wore protective clothing in cold weather at sports stadiums for centuries before indoor sports were invented.
@@katherineberger6329 there are no more than eight games at places like Chicago Green Bay or even Buffalo during football season which is played in the winter so of course people will bundle up to watch their team play, but there’s no one in their rightfull minds who would sit in a cold ass stadium watching a summertime sport that has 162 games with about 81 of them being at the Home teams field especially when folks know in a particular region it will still be frigid in April going well past May as well as towards the end of September going well into October, makes no sense at all. Places like Seattle, Miami and Houston constructed stadiums with retractable roofs for obvious reasons, I guess that type of idea hasn’t filtered down to folks in Detroit or Minnesota
I've been to 19 stadiums so far. Love seeing the unique aspects of all of them. Was hoping to check off 3-4 more this year, but travel is so expensive it might not happen. Short list to go to next: Arizona, Fenway (clueless how I have not been yet!), Colorado and Miami
Save yourself the disappointment and skip Miami and if you haven’t been, skip Tropicana also. The they’re both embarrassments. Watch 3 games at Fenway instead
I’ve been to all of those. Diamondbacks was the worst stadium but I loved my time in Phoenix. If you go to Colorado I’d recommend trying to time it on a weekend that you can catch a concert of someone you like at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Fenway is my favorite on your list but I wasn’t impressed with the city. Miami was a much nicer park than I was expecting and you’re close enough to drive the overseas highway to Key West.
@@caseyquinn9282 did Colorado last year. hope to do Miami, Arizona and Toronto this year. Want to do west coast (still need to go to Mariners, Dodgers, Giants, A's, and Angels), but too expensive and crazy out there right now
I made it to my first game at Guaranteed Rate Field this past August vs the Cubs. Crosstown series made it a lively environment. I always thought the stadium just looked boring and had no features that stood out. I will admit I was wrong on my judgement. With that huge enclosed wall backing the outfield bleachers, it gives it a coliseum feel which is unique to baseball. Overall amenities were pretty good. They had a cool kids zone out beyond left field that really stood out, more than other parks I should say. Parking and ease of access to the ballpark was really good as well. Overall not that bad of a place to catch a game, I had fun. This is coming from a Cubs fan who lives and breathes Wrigley Field
Tailgating at guaranteed rate just adds to what makes the park great. I've never been to Wrigley but do want to catch a crosstown series there too. I went to my first crosstown at guaranteed last August too it was the day the cubs shut us out 🤣
I totally agree. I don’t get why Guaranteed rate gets so much hate. It’s a nice stadium on the inside with easy to get to with either the metra, red line, and parking is easy. Nothing better than tailgating before a game with $10 tickets.
yep sox park isnt all that bad. i think a lot of it has to do with people thinking of it before they started all of the renovations. before the renovations it was pretty terrible. its ok now. what makes it seem even worse though is they had the choice between their current design and the camden yards design and they picked the wrong one.
If you’re like me looking into what old ballparks were like check out the podcast Lost Ballparks. They interview people they played and worked there in a 30 min format. Great video as always man.
Hot take: The Trop is better than Oakland. Also I've been waiting for former NHL arenas for the past year so I can hear you talk about how it was the home of the Lightning from 1993-96
Very spoiled living in Pittsburgh and always seeing PNC regardless what away team wins, that being said I went to coors on a tour and was blown away how nice it was
It's hard to make Minneapolis charming? Never been I assume. It's just simply better in Minny. Also no, Target Field DOES NOT look like all the other retro ball parks, it was designed literally to stay away both from the modern feel of Nats Park and the Retro Classic feel. It melds perfectly with the Minneapolis area around it, even being built in part over a highway. With the recent upgrades to Gate 34, and other quality of life upgrades it's a Top 10 park easily.
Great video! My only critique is that you didn't mention Cleveland's scoreboard! On several occasions, it has been the largest freestanding scoreboard in North America, and it's wild to see up close if you haven't been there for a game. Good job!
I keep hearing that Kauffman may be canned for a ballpark in downtown Kansas City, but I really hope that doesn’t happen because Kauffman is such a great ballpark.
I’ve seen: Rogers center: is a bowl Fenway: beautiful park, awesome atmosphere Wrigley: my favorite, Best atmosphere, team sucks, nice scoreboard, the rooftop seats are cool Oriole park: very nice, building in right field makes it iconic, staff gives free ice on hot days ( personal experience) National’s stadium: nothing special Phillie’s stadium: nice view of the city Guaranteed rate field: surprisingly nice park, fireworks after homeruns and wins, south side is scary, great atmosphere, great dj. I’ve seen 11 games in 7 different stadiums, all of these are a must
Love how five points praises the owner of the orioles for not selling out on the stadium name and immeadiately sells out on an ad no less than 30 seconds later lmao
The view from the upper decks on the right side of Coors for evening games is absolutely incredible. Shame you didn't even mention the fact it looks right out over the mountains
Citizens bank Park is actually a good ballpark they have rooftop bleachers, The Liberty Bell that lights up and rings after every Phillies homerun and Phillies win, they recently also added a mini replica wiffle ball field for kids to play at the food is good there yet expensive, there are a lot of great seats, the Asburn alley was relocated from behind the bullpens to another part of the stadium that includes two life size World Series Trophies one from 1980 and from 2008, in the playoffs they had a Ferris wheel outside of the ballpark and a lot more its very nice
I've been to Vets in Philly, Busch II, Candlestick and Qualcomm and all four were cavernous heat holes, except Candlestick, which was a wind swirled shitehole.
Kaufman is Awesome and the tailgating is amazing. Definitely catch yourself a game in KC (It's even better when they're actually good or winning a world series!)
The Trop needs to either paint the inside “roof” “ceiling” a dark color, or just have the party lights going. Look up photos with the lights going, having a solid color on it would help a ton.
Always amazed that national TV in its first telecast from a new park, doesn't give you a 'tour'.. By contrast I know more about most every field thanks to you.
We have the lowest budget team in the entire MLB, but probably one of the nicest stadiums. Camden Yards was built around the massive B&O Warehouse, which is 120 years old--so, while they call it a 'retro' stadium, it actually is built around one of the coolest historic buildings in the area, which is a major reason the stadium is so awesome as it blends historic and modern designs together. Its basic layout and ease of navigation is also exceptional, and it has recently seen substantial renovations, and expansion in local food offerings. The crab cake egg rolls and crab mac-and-cheese hotdogs really stand out, but there are a ton of other local offerings now.
My only game at The Ballpark in Arlington was in 2018. It was 109 degrees when the game started. It finally went below 100 in the 7th. All the shaved ice vendors ran out of ice by then.
Haha!😂 Been to a few of those games. It was rough, but I did love most of the aesthetics of that ballpark. The archways and all brick exterior was done so well. If I had been designing it I would’ve scraped the office building in the outfield. Just looked out of place in an otherwise spectacular ballpark.
If you ever wanna come to Kaufman, I know at least two of your viewers who’d host. I was a raised a STL fan, and yet I’ll gladly admit KC’s baseball stadium is a great experience. And oddly, I was discussing with other STL fans just yesterday- we kinda miss the cookie cutter dump Busch.. The new one is too sterile and far quieter than the old (yes it’s pretty, too). And there was some charm like the arches up too lit by the sun, and also being one of last cookie cutters. It wasn’t without issue but it probably could have been rescued with remodeling. Imagine a NHL game at the old Busch- that would truly have been awesome.
I have some of the same feelings about the Metrodome, especially when I'm playing a game in it in MLB The Show, but let's be honest, our fond memories of our old parks are for the feats we remember from our childhoods. Busch and the Dome were DUMPS.
KC fans are spoiled with 2 great stadiums with Kauffman & Arrowhead!! They also have a state of the art arena that would be ready if an NHL or NBA franchise were to ever come to KC.
@@jefffinkbonner9551 Missouri has several of those basketball stadiums. Hearnes was the epitome of playing basketball in a parking garage but holy crap it could get loud and rocking. We knew it was a dump, but it was OUR dump.. enough so Roy Williams said he hated the building because he kept losing to MU and a raucous crowd.
Fun fact: The ivy that has invaded the outfield walls is called Boston ivy (native to Korea, Japan, and eastern China). So you could say...the Boston Red Sox has been making the Cubs unlucky this whole time and not some silly old goat
@@GoBananas00 Didn't say it's still going on, bozo. I said that the BOSTON ivy is what probably caused it, not the goat. But thanks for confirming Cubs fans are still the same
Hey Five if you want to a revisit of stadium you should have a revisit of MLS stadiums. Since your last video there has been a lot more Soccer specific stadium build.
My dad almost missed my birth back in May of '92 due to being at an O's game against the White Sox that day in Camden Yards, my dad joked that he wouldn't miss his first game at the new venue for anything. My mom suddenly went into labor a week earlier than anticipated, close to the start of the game. My dad obviously left the game as soon as he got the news, and he made it in time though I wasn't born until 3am the following day on May 9th. We joke that the reason the O's won that day is because he wasn't there to see it. We try and make time every May to see at least one game there as a birthday celebration.
I appreciate my fellow Orioles fans agreeing that Camden Yards is a wonderful park to sit and enjoy our terrible team. Give it two years though and the O's will be competitive again.
I did not think much of this title yet I did take a look. VERY GOOD VIDEO! Surprised me, the comments were excellent. Interesting, I did not see stadiums of 60,000 capacity. Expected much larger seating yet it means not a bad seat in the house. Great video!
As a KC local, thanks for not only opening the video with a shot of Kauffman but giving it, its props too. You should absolutely catch a game here sometime (preferably not in July or August). But you may only have another 8 year or so. The idea of building a new staduim downtown as grown increasingly popular with the powers that be. Can't say I've talked to many fans that love the idea. Kauffman is a beautiful stadium that the tax payers of Jackson County have aways supported to renovate when needed. Also going through downtown to get in and out of games sounds like a nightmare.
I loved the stadium when I went a few years ago. I was shocked when I heard they wanted to build a new one but I was also shocked when I heard they wanted a new airport. It’s like the people elected are trying to make the city into something it shouldn’t be instead of embracing what it is. I loved the city, not sure if I’ll be able to say the same in 10 years.
@@caseyquinn9282 It's all about spending money and building monuments instead of taking care of what we already have. KC doesn't need a new stadium. The new airport is now open with lots of problems.
@@jacksprattt6396 they think having a stadium downtown next to P&L will get more people to go to games, especially tourists (as if KC has those). It's a shame they didn't learn from 2014/15 or thier naughbours who they share a parking lot with, that the stadium will be packed if you put a watchable product on the field.
After experiencing White Sox park from the very beginning when it opened in 91, they have def made the park better over the years. Imo my favorite part of the park is the concourse and the bleachers. But even when I was a kid in the 90s they had none of the cool interactive baseball stuff they have now for kids like they do now. My criticism of Wrigley field is that the MLB still allows them to have them and considers it a homerun when the ball lands in the stupid baskets, when technically the ball is still in the ball park and if the baskets weren't there the ball would just bounce off the wall back into the outfield. If anything it should be a ground rule double, the same rule that applies when the ball disappears into the ivy on the wall. Wrigley literally installed the baskets to catch drunk fans from falling into the outfield. As a Sox who sees the Sox play the Royals quite often and having been to a lot of games at their stadium, I actually like Kauffman stadium and I feel like its a lowkey gem and very underrated when it comes to the unobstructed views you get of the field anywhere in the ball park and features that are specific to the ball park.
I'm gonna say it, Ming destroying the stadium because of her rampage in Turning Red is the best thing to happen to the Rogers Centre...or should I say the SkyDome Also something I'd like to add about Citi Field: The clubs on offer are pretty great, like just about every seat has access to a club with my personal favorite being the Foxwoods Club because of the views of the surrounding Flushing Meadows World's Fair site like the Unisphere. But if you want phenomenal ballpark views while dining, the Porsche Club (formerly Acela Club) is solid
Fun fact: Wrigley Field was going to be one of the first stadiums to have lights in the 1940s, but donated the aluminum to make bomber and fighter planes during World War 2
It’s telling that I’m a Dodger fan that I thought your criticism was gonna be the parking situation - or rather exiting the parking situation. But yeah, the fights too.
Hands down, petco park rules mlb. Largest in your face big screen, second to none with great local food and local craft beers, and what about the location? Gas lamp quarter? Coronado bridge? How about the weather? No stadium in mlb has all that.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 sounds like you live in a shanty in some szhithole state cuz it doesn’t get any better than San Diego which is americas finest city!
CBP in Philly really did have the sharpest angles. I remember they built it before Veterans Stadium across the street was torn down, which turned out to be blocking prevailing winds out to right field.

Anyone else find stadiums that sit in the middle of a sea of parking lot to be kinda depressing and ugly? I know people gotta get to the game but it's so soulless and desolate to look at. I'd rather most of that parking lot be replaced with parks, bars, restaurants, and other fun stuff. Also the train ride home after a big win is always a fun experience with other fans.
We always ride a train home from either ballpark in NYC
@@icsedge1 New York is one of the very few places in this country where that is actually a practical option though unfortunately...
Yeah there's a train station next to Anaheim Stadium but everyone drives around here... Even with the high gas prices
Considering the amount of beer and brats consumed in the parking lots in Milwaukee we will keep them!
@@flavellinator Angels parking is only $10 so I can understand why people drive.
I still wish they would have just spent the money upgrading original Yankee stadium. The amount of history that took place in that old ballpark.... breaks my heart they tore it down
For real. I was in new york as a child for the last regular season at yankee stadium while they were building the new one across the street. Very sad, but im glad i got to see the old one in person.
It’s mind boggling that they destroyed. Piece of history. Shame
@@averyreach9958 The old Yankee Stadium was refurbished for 2 seasons(74-75) before reopening in time for the 76 season!! The Yankees during those 2 seasons when the stadium was being refurbished played their home games at Shea Stadium. Ironically in 1998 during their then record breaking year for most wins by a franchise in a season, the Yanks played at Shea for a few games because of a piece of concrete that fell in the seating area at Yankee Stadium. That episode convinced Steinbrenner that the time came for a new stadium in the Bronx.
@@wilnerolivier7971 and it still from the inside looks like the Death Star!!😁
They can do this to practically any old stadium, especially ones that were only 20 years old when they got tossed aside lol. It's not hard to just renovate old stadiums, even really old ones, but these rich owners of these baseball teams want shiny new stadiums paid for by taxpayers, even if it means tearing down decades' worth of history.
Minnesota here. We never realized we were being cut short by having both football and baseball in the same stadium. In the old Metrodome there was a like 50 foot space between third base and the crowd. There were also parts of the stadium where the best nosebleed seats were near the worst good seats. Just all around goofy design when you try to cram a diamond and a rectangle into a giant square.
Like old Memorial Stadium (Baltimore).
@@thetrevster6983 that would be the target center where the Timberwolves nba team play. It has some sort of park on the roof for employees.

PNC Park will always be the most underrated, beautiful ballpark in the MLB
There is no better behind home plate view in all of baseball than at PNC Park. Especially for one of those early-evening or late-afternoon starts, where you get the view of the bridges and skyline during the day, at sunset, at dusk, AND at night all in one game.
used to be hard to argue but the concourses are boring, exterior amenities/environment sucks compared to other places, and of course the product on the field goes without saying. I think there are several now that I'd rank higher and most that give it high marks have been to few other places
@@412foto I’ve been to over 20 current ballparks and about 25 in total. Quality of the game itself aside… PNC Park is my top place to see a game (followed by San Francisco, Wrigley Field, and San Diego… Coors Field is up there depending on the weather).
I have not been there myself. But a friend of mine used to work for ESPN. She helped host people who won tickets to games as part of various contests, and so she's been to pretty much every stadium and arena. She said PNC Park is the best place to watch a game not only for MLB but for any of the four major North American sports leagues.
Nah, Great American.
I was just at target field yesterday. I don't care about baseball, but I love the vibe. It is a beautiful field.
As do the majority of hipster people that attend games.
One thing about Citizens Bank Park that could’ve been mentioned is that if you sit behind home plate to down the right field line, you can get a view of the city skyline in the background.
As a Phillies fan, I honestly couldn’t be happier with the ballpark. Love going there.
grew up going to the Vet. Went to Citizens for first time about 3 years ago and thought it was a gorgeous stadium and nicer than the other one that gets all of the love in PA
Same in Seattle. That right field line looks across to the more open left field with the arches of the Seahawks stadium in the foreground with the downtown skyline behind.
As a not Phillies fan….I LOVED this ballpark. It is what a baseball stadium should feel like even if it’s newer. I like it better than either Florida stadium and the new Yankees stadium. I’m a Sox fan and Fenway is my absolute favorite
Another great thing about CBP and the rest of the Philly Sports Complex is how accessible it is. Its literally right next to the highway and the Broad Street Line subway is right there. You don’t have to walk far if you’re tailgating and if you can’t go to the game, hanging out at Xfinity Live is the next best thing.
Camden Yards is by far my favorite ballpark in the MLB. The fact that like half of the parks built after it were shameless ripoffs of it just shows how successful it was.
I have to agree, I haven’t been to every ball park, but I really feel that Camden yards is actually the best one I’ve been to, the stadium with the best lobby is obviously Citi Field, Yankee Stadium unfortunately is extremely expensive and overrated for a place that doesn’t even feature a retractable roof
PNC for me
@@duffal0 I was in love with that yellow stone before it started changing color
@@duffal0 The Pirates, Phillies and Padres have the best ball parks. 3 P's
A lot of the “rip offs” were designed by the same architecture firm that designed Camden Yards so not really rip offs
Nobody ever talks about gabp but I love it. perfect reflection of the city of cincinnati and the stadium concourse is beautiful.
The Rangers went from a rather nice looking classic designed ballpark to a livestock auction house.
It's a grill...
At least its not a inferior ball park but visit Arlingtons ballpark
It's a completely inferior ballpark for a completely inferior team.
@@dwightsmith2918 whats your favorite stadium
😂😂😂
I feel like Petco Park is by far the most underrated in the MLB.
I've never been to Petco but I've only heard good things about it. Seems like it's not being underrated anymore. And the team has been doing good too, so there's that
Integrating the Western Metal Supply Company building to literally be inside the stadium is so special. Really is emblematic of baseball stadiums: unique dimensions, walls, overhangs, hills(!) all lend so much character!
@@jerrygomez3825 it is the most integrated with its city for sure
@@evanfunk7335 i agree but fenway gotta be up there too
Fuck San Diego, they chose the wrong stadium to build downtown
The best Angels home game was played at Dodgers Stadium in 1988. The broadcast team was Curt Gowdy, Tim McCarver, Jim Palmer, Mel Allen, Dick Vitale, Dick Enberg, and Dr. Joyce Brothers. It was also Jay Johnstone and Reggie Jackson's final game.
And they even got Enrico Palazzo to be the home plate umpire.
Remember when that fat lady fell on Reggie Jackson when he tried to kill the Queen of England?
@@evrbody And he even sang the national anthem and threw umpire Joe West out of the game.
Damn, how big is that broadcast booth?
@@thetrevster6983 I've been to one Angels' game in my life and we got in for a dollar. It was the nosebleed seats and a big group of mentally challenged adults sat next to us. One of the mentally challenged people kept saying "Hit a home run, sweetie" during every Angels at bat. It was great. It was an Angels vs. A's game back in '93.
They chose lime stone for target field because it’s one of Minnesota’s most abundant rocks/minerals. It’s for the same reason why the twins colors are blue, red, White and kasota gold.

A new fun fact about the old Globe Life Park: Besides it now being used for football, the former team offices are now being used as Six Flags’ new HQ.
I was just there for Wrestlemania. Such a beautiful area
Well it was at&t stadium but same area
Yup, and Camden Yards which was built (1992) before Ameriquest/Globe Life (1994), is still standing, whereas the latter was only here for 25 seasons, even their first stadium Turnpike/Arlington stadium, had been here for a lot longer, primarily used as a minor league park, before the Rangers moved here in 1972 from D.C., being the second Senators franchise, after the first one moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, to become the Twins in 1961.
Global Life Park( Ballpark in Arlington): The House that Bush 43 built!!
When I went to the area I noticed and was shocked to find there was a six flags there but looked very very small compared to the one we have in Illinois? Was seeing it right?
I was in Pittsburg and stayed at a hotel in downtown with a view of the river and PNC field. Gotta say that was a pretty amazing view. Got to watch a concert and a few ball games. Yes you could hear everything. The bowl shape projects the sound across the river. Every time a homer is hit on TV I can see my hotel room!
Still proud of oriole park, love how it was the beginning of the retro baseball parks! I remember going to memorial stadium as a kid so once OPACY opened I could always appreciate the beauty of it!!
Hard to believe that Dodger Stadium is now 60 years old. I grew up in the LA area and went to my
first MLB game there in 1962. "My, how time does fly !" It's still a beautiful ball park.
History of it sucks tho
@@bigbenmk4873 I'm guessing that you are referring to how the land was acquired.

I love how you referred to it as skydome. I'd never call it the rogers center. Also it's been renovated. Sound and lighting. Turf was upgraded.
Can't wait for next year when they tear out the seats and replace them with ones that actually face home plate.

Years old now. Feels like just yesterday that Zimmerman walked off the first day.
Guaranteed rate/us cellular/comiskey Park is a GREAT place to see a game. Sight lines are perfect, food and beer is second to none, and it's so easy to get in and out of.
You really did us dirty here
don’t expect much from a dude who basically makes the same videos without ever actually going to a game there.
@@mahmoodgladney184 fair
Miller Park is great inside. The entire outfield walls retract as well basically making it an open air ballpark when we have our 7 days of summer.
Glad to see other people still refusing to call it by the new name. To me it will always be Miller Park
It looks nice except the shadows during day games are just awful
@@howarddamico1237 Glad you enjoyed it. It is one of the best in MLB! IMO
Yeah...I've been to Kaufmann many a time pre and post 2010 renovation. Even back then, it was still a good looking ball park. So yeah, if you want to check out a couple of games at the "K"-as we fans lovingly call it- we'll be happy to show you around.
Those of us old enough to remember going to some of the long-gone ballparks of the last century can testify that it made for a much different baseball experience. Many of the parks were in the bad part of town, run-down, and without the amenities modern fans expect. Most fans of the time came to actually see baseball being played at its highest level. They were unconcerned about canned sound effects, gourmet food, costumed mascots, and all the other silly things that are apparently needed to keep "fans" interested.
Ok boomer
As someone who has been to a lot of old stadiums like Candlestick, they were not that great on the inside, but the outside was awe-inspiring, especially old Busch Stadium.
As someone who grew up & still lives 18 miles outside Philly, I love how all 3 stadiums are in close proximity to one another. Also ample room for parking. Wish the Union was there too. *oh and the city as the backdrop is so good. Ik it’s in others but Philly has a unique skyline.

I'd argue Target Field was one of the first stadiums to buck the retro-classic trend.
Same, it felt to me like it was modern, with a slight, slight retro feel. The limestone and the lights in the roof are really cool
@@MNice82 Same here. I sort of miss the old Metrodome, but not enough that I'd actually WANT to sit on the third base line during a game (and visit a chiropractor the day after).
I certainly hope you still feel that way when you try to sit there and watch April games while the temperatures are still in the 40s or try to watch playoff baseball in October when the temperatures dips below 40 because they wanted an open air field instead of having a retractable roof for obvious reasons based on that particular part of the country
@@yell0wberry When it's cold, you can always wear a jacket. People wore protective clothing in cold weather at sports stadiums for centuries before indoor sports were invented.
@@katherineberger6329 there are no more than eight games at places like Chicago Green Bay or even Buffalo during football season which is played in the winter so of course people will bundle up to watch their team play, but there’s no one in their rightfull minds who would sit in a cold ass stadium watching a summertime sport that has 162 games with about 81 of them being at the Home teams field especially when folks know in a particular region it will still be frigid in April going well past May as well as towards the end of September going well into October, makes no sense at all. Places like Seattle, Miami and Houston constructed stadiums with retractable roofs for obvious reasons, I guess that type of idea hasn’t filtered down to folks in Detroit or Minnesota
I've been to 19 stadiums so far. Love seeing the unique aspects of all of them. Was hoping to check off 3-4 more this year, but travel is so expensive it might not happen. Short list to go to next: Arizona, Fenway (clueless how I have not been yet!), Colorado and Miami
Save yourself the disappointment and skip Miami and if you haven’t been, skip Tropicana also. The they’re both embarrassments. Watch 3 games at Fenway instead
@@CaitiCat Yankees fan so could only stomach one game at Fenway! LOL But do plan to hit Colorado in August. Might be my only new one this year.
I’ve been to all of those. Diamondbacks was the worst stadium but I loved my time in Phoenix. If you go to Colorado I’d recommend trying to time it on a weekend that you can catch a concert of someone you like at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Fenway is my favorite on your list but I wasn’t impressed with the city. Miami was a much nicer park than I was expecting and you’re close enough to drive the overseas highway to Key West.
@@caseyquinn9282 did Colorado last year. hope to do Miami, Arizona and Toronto this year. Want to do west coast (still need to go to Mariners, Dodgers, Giants, A's, and Angels), but too expensive and crazy out there right now
I made it to my first game at Guaranteed Rate Field this past August vs the Cubs. Crosstown series made it a lively environment. I always thought the stadium just looked boring and had no features that stood out. I will admit I was wrong on my judgement. With that huge enclosed wall backing the outfield bleachers, it gives it a coliseum feel which is unique to baseball. Overall amenities were pretty good. They had a cool kids zone out beyond left field that really stood out, more than other parks I should say. Parking and ease of access to the ballpark was really good as well. Overall not that bad of a place to catch a game, I had fun. This is coming from a Cubs fan who lives and breathes Wrigley Field
Tailgating at guaranteed rate just adds to what makes the park great. I've never been to Wrigley but do want to catch a crosstown series there too. I went to my first crosstown at guaranteed last August too it was the day the cubs shut us out 🤣
I totally agree. I don’t get why Guaranteed rate gets so much hate. It’s a nice stadium on the inside with easy to get to with either the metra, red line, and parking is easy. Nothing better than tailgating before a game with $10 tickets.
@@Chuychubacca I was unlucky enough to go on the day the Sox scored like 9 runs in the first 5 innings😂 we left after the 7th inning stretch
yep sox park isnt all that bad. i think a lot of it has to do with people thinking of it before they started all of the renovations. before the renovations it was pretty terrible. its ok now. what makes it seem even worse though is they had the choice between their current design and the camden yards design and they picked the wrong one.
@@jkatz1303 we went to see our favorite teams just on the wrong days 😂
Surprised you didn't know all 30 MLB ballparks are using humidors for the balls! Coors Field started the trend, now every club has adopted it.

That’s not saying much..

@@selanryn5849 cats equal an automatic win.
The Trop sucks but at least it isn’t MLB’s version of FedEx Field
I’ve kind of grown a soft spot for Tropicana Field, mostly because of Adam the Woo
Amazing that Rogers Centre which opened in 1989 is the 7th oldest stadium and Camden Yards which opened in 1992 is the 10th oldest stadium in MLB.
Very spoiled living in Pittsburgh and always seeing PNC regardless what away team wins, that being said I went to coors on a tour and was blown away how nice it was
Thanks for adding to our stadium fetish you helped create. That’s the stuff…
This take me back to the good old days
It's hard to make Minneapolis charming?
Never been I assume. It's just simply better in Minny.
Also no, Target Field DOES NOT look like all the other retro ball parks, it was designed literally to stay away both from the modern feel of Nats Park and the Retro Classic feel. It melds perfectly with the Minneapolis area around it, even being built in part over a highway. With the recent upgrades to Gate 34, and other quality of life upgrades it's a Top 10 park easily.
Great video! My only critique is that you didn't mention Cleveland's scoreboard! On several occasions, it has been the largest freestanding scoreboard in North America, and it's wild to see up close if you haven't been there for a game. Good job!
Fenway is so old that Jesus Christ himself watched a game there.
The roof in Seattle is a giant umbrella, the sides are still open to the elements when it’s covering the ballpark.
You absolutely need to re-do this for MLS. There are 7 new (technically) stadiums that weren’t there on the previous video.
I keep hearing that Kauffman may be canned for a ballpark in downtown Kansas City, but I really hope that doesn’t happen because Kauffman is such a great ballpark.
Yup, sadly the media, owners, and city want a downtown stadium and ignore any pushback from real fans. It’s a giant money ploy
I agree. I am from Illinois been to all the ball parks in the Midwest, Kauffman is the best in this part of the country .
It’ll probably happen, but I pray to God it doesn’t. Kauffman is such a phenomenal park
The same hucksters want to get rid of arrowhead I hope this never happens Arrowhead is also fantastic
Jackson County voters will never approve of the bonds (ie, tax hikes) needed to build downtown as long as we have a perfectly good stadium at the TSC.
I’ve seen:
Rogers center: is a bowl
Fenway: beautiful park, awesome atmosphere
Wrigley: my favorite, Best atmosphere, team sucks, nice scoreboard, the rooftop seats are cool
Oriole park: very nice, building in right field makes it iconic, staff gives free ice on hot days ( personal experience)
National’s stadium: nothing special
Phillie’s stadium: nice view of the city
Guaranteed rate field: surprisingly nice park, fireworks after homeruns and wins, south side is scary, great atmosphere, great dj.
I’ve seen 11 games in 7 different stadiums, all of these are a must
“With it being pushed back to fells point”. Got a laugh outta me
Love how five points praises the owner of the orioles for not selling out on the stadium name and immeadiately sells out on an ad no less than 30 seconds later lmao
The view from the upper decks on the right side of Coors for evening games is absolutely incredible. Shame you didn't even mention the fact it looks right out over the mountains
Petco has the best food, beer, weather, structure, outfield, score board, and location within the city.
Citizens bank Park is actually a good ballpark they have rooftop bleachers, The Liberty Bell that lights up and rings after every Phillies homerun and Phillies win, they recently also added a mini replica wiffle ball field for kids to play at the food is good there yet expensive, there are a lot of great seats, the Asburn alley was relocated from behind the bullpens to another part of the stadium that includes two life size World Series Trophies one from 1980 and from 2008, in the playoffs they had a Ferris wheel outside of the ballpark and a lot more its very nice
Trust me. Moving the Atlanta stadium hasn’t escaped the traffic. There IS NO ESCAPING Atlanta traffic, just moved part of it a little North! 😎
I kinda miss the old, imperfect stadiums. They may have had their faults, but most of them had a ton of character.
Yep. And I hate the our new park (rangers) cause it completely lacks culture
I've been to Vets in Philly, Busch II, Candlestick and Qualcomm and all four were cavernous heat holes, except Candlestick, which was a wind swirled shitehole.
Pu-jit Sound. And Minneapolis is WAY cool. Spend some real time there. And eat meat. Criminally underrated food scene.
Oooooh a revisiting! You should do this with the NHL and NFL stadiums too
You didn't mention how the food court area in Great American Ballpark looks like a early 20th century main street! Plus fire from the smokestacks!
We'd love to have you at Kaufman!
We do get mosquitoes, but it's not as bad here as in the Southeast.
PNC Park is a beautiful ball park. The view of the Pittsburgh skyline is really nice!
As someone whose been to 15/30 parks, this video is pretty accurate
Target Field is awesome. I have been to the old Astrodome, old Cleveland Stadium, The Kingdome, and Three Rivers.
Kaufman is Awesome and the tailgating is amazing. Definitely catch yourself a game in KC (It's even better when they're actually good or winning a world series!)
The Trop needs to either paint the inside “roof” “ceiling” a dark color, or just have the party lights going. Look up photos with the lights going, having a solid color on it would help a ton.
Difinitely gotta catch a game at Kauffman… I’ve been to Fenway and a few others but Kauffman really surprised me. Just watch out for humidity 😂
and they have mini golf and a carousel!
Excellent writing and delivery. Top pro.
Five I'd love it if you came to a game at the K, I'd want to get picture with you if you ever do come to KC!
Always amazed that national TV in its first telecast from a new park, doesn't give you a 'tour'.. By contrast I know more about most every field thanks to you.
We have the lowest budget team in the entire MLB, but probably one of the nicest stadiums. Camden Yards was built around the massive B&O Warehouse, which is 120 years old--so, while they call it a 'retro' stadium, it actually is built around one of the coolest historic buildings in the area, which is a major reason the stadium is so awesome as it blends historic and modern designs together. Its basic layout and ease of navigation is also exceptional, and it has recently seen substantial renovations, and expansion in local food offerings. The crab cake egg rolls and crab mac-and-cheese hotdogs really stand out, but there are a ton of other local offerings now.
"The cougar of MLB ballparks" you know what, I think thats the highest compliment Toronto could have gotten
The K is a great stadium to watch baseball.
Damn you brought up HOK. Kudos to you, from an architect. :D. I do hate their sports stadium designs tho.
Kaufman staduim in KC is awesome. Mist from the fountain is nice on a hot day. Not a bad seat in the house! From a Cardinals fan.
My only game at The Ballpark in Arlington was in 2018. It was 109 degrees when the game started. It finally went below 100 in the 7th. All the shaved ice vendors ran out of ice by then.
Haha!😂 Been to a few of those games. It was rough, but I did love most of the aesthetics of that ballpark. The archways and all brick exterior was done so well. If I had been designing it I would’ve scraped the office building in the outfield. Just looked out of place in an otherwise spectacular ballpark.
If you ever wanna come to Kaufman, I know at least two of your viewers who’d host. I was a raised a STL fan, and yet I’ll gladly admit KC’s baseball stadium is a great experience.
And oddly, I was discussing with other STL fans just yesterday- we kinda miss the cookie cutter dump Busch.. The new one is too sterile and far quieter than the old (yes it’s pretty, too). And there was some charm like the arches up too lit by the sun, and also being one of last cookie cutters. It wasn’t without issue but it probably could have been rescued with remodeling. Imagine a NHL game at the old Busch- that would truly have been awesome.
I have some of the same feelings about the Metrodome, especially when I'm playing a game in it in MLB The Show, but let's be honest, our fond memories of our old parks are for the feats we remember from our childhoods. Busch and the Dome were DUMPS.
KC fans are spoiled with 2 great stadiums with Kauffman & Arrowhead!! They also have a state of the art arena that would be ready if an NHL or NBA franchise were to ever come to KC.

We knew it was a dump, but it was OUR dump.. enough so Roy Williams said he hated the building because he kept losing to MU and a raucous crowd.
FINALLY A NEW STADIUM CRITIQUE
Fun fact: The ivy that has invaded the outfield walls is called Boston ivy (native to Korea, Japan, and eastern China). So you could say...the Boston Red Sox has been making the Cubs unlucky this whole time and not some silly old goat
That curse is old news, we won
@@GoBananas00 Didn't say it's still going on, bozo. I said that the BOSTON ivy is what probably caused it, not the goat. But thanks for confirming Cubs fans are still the same
I was oddly enough watching your first video of the ballparks last night for the first time and boom, here's a updated video
Hey Five if you want to a revisit of stadium you should have a revisit of MLS stadiums. Since your last video there has been a lot more Soccer specific stadium build.
Absolute legend for the Landing Strip reference
Best thing about the Trop is the air conditioning. Also the Trop has a small rotunda area like Citi Field.
My dad almost missed my birth back in May of '92 due to being at an O's game against the White Sox that day in Camden Yards, my dad joked that he wouldn't miss his first game at the new venue for anything. My mom suddenly went into labor a week earlier than anticipated, close to the start of the game. My dad obviously left the game as soon as he got the news, and he made it in time though I wasn't born until 3am the following day on May 9th. We joke that the reason the O's won that day is because he wasn't there to see it. We try and make time every May to see at least one game there as a birthday celebration.
Thank you for that Landing Strip joke with Comerica 😂
But the "Canadian Ballet" is across the river. But who wants to visit Canada nowadays? 😁
Comerica sucks.
@@spuds6423 I did.
The ivy on the outfield wall at Wrigley Field is charming!
I appreciate my fellow Orioles fans agreeing that Camden Yards is a wonderful park to sit and enjoy our terrible team. Give it two years though and the O's will be competitive again.
I did not think much of this title yet I did take a look. VERY GOOD VIDEO!
Surprised me, the comments were excellent.
Interesting, I did not see stadiums of 60,000 capacity. Expected much larger seating
yet it means not a bad seat in the house.
Great video!
As a KC local, thanks for not only opening the video with a shot of Kauffman but giving it, its props too. You should absolutely catch a game here sometime (preferably not in July or August). But you may only have another 8 year or so. The idea of building a new staduim downtown as grown increasingly popular with the powers that be. Can't say I've talked to many fans that love the idea. Kauffman is a beautiful stadium that the tax payers of Jackson County have aways supported to renovate when needed. Also going through downtown to get in and out of games sounds like a nightmare.
You are lucky as a KC local to have 2 great stadiums in Kauffman & Arrowhead!!
I loved the stadium when I went a few years ago. I was shocked when I heard they wanted to build a new one but I was also shocked when I heard they wanted a new airport. It’s like the people elected are trying to make the city into something it shouldn’t be instead of embracing what it is. I loved the city, not sure if I’ll be able to say the same in 10 years.
Waste of money to build a new Royals stadium. Not sure what the end game is of the new owners.
@@caseyquinn9282 It's all about spending money and building monuments instead of taking care of what we already have. KC doesn't need a new stadium. The new airport is now open with lots of problems.
@@jacksprattt6396 they think having a stadium downtown next to P&L will get more people to go to games, especially tourists (as if KC has those). It's a shame they didn't learn from 2014/15 or thier naughbours who they share a parking lot with, that the stadium will be packed if you put a watchable product on the field.
After experiencing White Sox park from the very beginning when it opened in 91, they have def made the park better over the years. Imo my favorite part of the park is the concourse and the bleachers. But even when I was a kid in the 90s they had none of the cool interactive baseball stuff they have now for kids like they do now. My criticism of Wrigley field is that the MLB still allows them to have them and considers it a homerun when the ball lands in the stupid baskets, when technically the ball is still in the ball park and if the baskets weren't there the ball would just bounce off the wall back into the outfield. If anything it should be a ground rule double, the same rule that applies when the ball disappears into the ivy on the wall. Wrigley literally installed the baskets to catch drunk fans from falling into the outfield. As a Sox who sees the Sox play the Royals quite often and having been to a lot of games at their stadium, I actually like Kauffman stadium and I feel like its a lowkey gem and very underrated when it comes to the unobstructed views you get of the field anywhere in the ball park and features that are specific to the ball park.
I'm gonna say it, Ming destroying the stadium because of her rampage in Turning Red is the best thing to happen to the Rogers Centre...or should I say the SkyDome
Also something I'd like to add about Citi Field: The clubs on offer are pretty great, like just about every seat has access to a club with my personal favorite being the Foxwoods Club because of the views of the surrounding Flushing Meadows World's Fair site like the Unisphere. But if you want phenomenal ballpark views while dining, the Porsche Club (formerly Acela Club) is solid
At least the Rogers Centre has a roof…
Imagine in 2022 still getting games postponed for inclement weather💀
Fun fact: Wrigley Field was going to be one of the first stadiums to have lights in the 1940s, but donated the aluminum to make bomber and fighter planes during World War 2
We need a ranking list for NHL arenas (and probably NBA arenas while we're at it).
NFL AND MLS TO

It’s telling that I’m a Dodger fan that I thought your criticism was gonna be the parking situation - or rather exiting the parking situation.
But yeah, the fights too.
Dodger Stadium is also built on land the state used appropriate action to take from the Latino families.
Lol
Dude WTH is appropriate action. If you don't know what you are talking about about it is okay to keep your mouth shut devil.
I’m from Cleveland and it never really occurred to me that those lights were unique
Hands down, petco park rules mlb. Largest in your face big screen, second to none with great local food and local craft beers, and what about the location? Gas lamp quarter? Coronado bridge? How about the weather? No stadium in mlb has all that.
But it's in Commiefornia, so that's negative like 10,000 points.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 sounds like you live in a shanty in some szhithole state cuz it doesn’t get any better than San Diego which is americas finest city!
And you get to walk by a massive tent city of homeless shooting up crack. Although Lolitas does make it worth to go sometimes
@@parkebridgeman7223 yes! Please stay home, don’t come here, it’s terrible! If you live here, please move, I’ll help you pack!!!
@@RicardoZ590 Don’t worry, I like Encinitas 1000x more than whale vagina city
T-Mobile (my home park) is amazing on the inside! Lots of beautiful art, nods to franchise history, and some really incredible food
CBP in Philly really did have the sharpest angles. I remember they built it before Veterans Stadium across the street was torn down, which turned out to be blocking prevailing winds out to right field.
I love the shade thrown at the teams throughout the video
