      You mean you're not including Oakland in your Final Four...that's a travesty!! Obviously some people don't appreciate dual-sport stadiums with an immense amount of foul ground and beautiful tarps covering the upper decks.

      In all seriousness though. Your bottom three are all awesome places to play at. Miami is tough because for me it's a bit of a novelty stadium. It's awesome to play a series at but to play the majority of your games there gets old. Plus it's not really the best park to hit in.

        Tampa is flawless to play in unless you just don't like indoor stadiums.

        I still have many ball parks to visit, I have yet to make it through Angels Stadium in a night game but it was stunning to me for some reason. It felt a way to me that it has never felt before.

        Oakland and Tampa are the 2 ugliest stadiums in the MLB lol. You have odd taste


        I'm doing an RTTS as an Astro right now and Minute Maid looks really good. I love PNC but the lighting issues bug me. I think CitiField looks really good and brightly lit. I think SafeCo looks awesome. Still haven't played in a lot of stadiums but honestly they all look good outside from the lighting issues in some of them.

          I can't believe the Toronto love. Rogers gets voted in the bottom 5 of all stadiums every time I see a list.

          I did the same thing as the OP, a fantasy draft and picked Houston and Minute Maid this year.

          I just can't do franchise with real rosters anymore because I want to keep them real too often if I do that. But because of this I have only played a game or two at Rogers Centre, maybe it looks better this year in the game?

            Oakland isn't ugly...it just has a lot of character and leaky sewage pipes.

              LOL, regarding Rogers Centre, in real life I think the stadium is horrible--however, in this game, it is done exceptionally well.

              And re: the rosters, I feel you on that one. I try so hard to just let things happen in franchise, but I ALWAYS find myself wanting to keep it realistic too!

                It's an eyesore lol. Mount Davis, prime example.

                I don't like multipurpose stadiums in the first place, but the coliseum takes 'unaesthetic' to another level

                  Thanks for all the input guys! Yeah I hate playing in Oakland but I think I'll choose Toronto because I also consider playing more games in their division too so playing in Fenway and Yankee stadium help too

                      Does anyone know if certain stadiums affect the elevation of home run balls hit like in colorado and cincinatti? I know triples alley in SF is there though so thats pretty awesome

                        Pretty sure Colorado is the only stadium with a boost to the travel distance of balls.

                          Wrigley
                          PNC
                          Rogers Centre
                          O.Co
                          Marlins Park

                          Also, don't discount Nationals Park. It's pretty sweet in it's own right.

                            PNC (Pirates) is beautiful but there is an issue with lighting during night games
                            Rogers Centre (Blue Jays) is pretty sweet with a great video board
                            Kauffman Stadium (Royals) has the waterfalls and nice video board
                            Minute Maid (Astros) has some crazy dimensions and a short porch in LF

                              yeah minute maid is fun to play at besides the lame *** train
                              The only stadiums I haven't played in yet are O.Co, dodgers stadium, citizens bank park, wrigley, and petco.

                              I am doing a fantasy draft with a team preferably an NL team. Im looking at the nats, marlins, phillies, or padres.
