I've been to 2 major league stadiums (Atlanta Fulton County and Arlington). I don't agree with the low transportation rating at all. The stadium is easy to get to, parking is close, and there's the bus system. Fan IQ wasn't terrible, but then again if you're at a Rangers game you're a hardcore baseball fan or a fan of the other team. I'm hopefully going again to watch them play the Astros so my opinion my change then.

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
For as much as I dislike the White Sox, being a Tigers die hard living 20 blocks from the Cell, I would say that the food there tops Comerica's and Wrigleys. The only edge Wrigley has over everyone is Old Style beer. Though I like Comerica more, I think the Cell is a great place to catch a game and I might decide to take in the next two games. I'm a complete sucker for the Churo's at the Cell.
On a side note, I dont think you can get better public transportation for US Cellular and Wrigley, both stadiums right off a train spot. I give the Sox the edge only because the train is so full after a Cubs game you are just swimming in a sea of stinky sweaty fans.Last edited by redskinrussell; 05-07-2008, 01:20 AM.My Teams:

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
At least you have a parking lot
Wrigley is a great place to watch a game, besides obstructed views, but otherwise the facilities and lack of food is a joke...The area and atmosphere are great though.Comment

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
Yep, easily takes an hour to get the hell outta there depending where you park...also i think Dodger dogs are over-rated. Why are the Marlins 23 in affordability? they should be 1 or 2.XBL: DTX3

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
Rogers Centre is about where I would expect it but I think they rated traffic too low. The traffic is actually not THAT bad, also if you add in the fact that about half of the attendance usually takes the Go Train or TTC to get to the games and it makes it even better. I'd rate Rogers Centre traffic at about an 8.
Also the ticket price and promotions isn't that bad...when the survey was done they were still doing 2 dollar tuesdays (I went to a bunch) and the star has seasons tickets for 99 bucks. that's pretty good imo.
whatever..it's a crap poll..i don't agree with a lot of it. I went to a dogers game last year and loved it. thought it was fantastic.
all that matters is that you enjoy. A lot of the top rated would be very low on my list. it was a fan poll anyway...Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.Comment

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
i was suprised actually. Going to the 'dome' is great. The food sucks and should be last, but atmosphere is terrific, and fan IQ???

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Blue Jays fans are the worst in baseball, by a huge margin. Of course, if I've gone to 11 games already (hey, I've paid off my pass!), does that make me...one of the worst Jays fans? I don't know.Blue Jays, Blackhawks, AuburnComment

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
Hey - it's major league baseball (ya know?) - they're all good!!
But I've been to ballparks across the country..............
And it seems to me.........AT&T (PacBell) - Yankee Stadium - and Fenway are the best - though I can't wait to see Wrigley in July.........Comment

Re: SI ranks all 30 ballparks
I think the exact opposite...I really like the food (although its overpriced), but ******* the atmosphere is truly horrible and we have by far the worst fans in baseball. If I hear someone say "backcatcher" one more time I'll ****ing punch them in the face. Or maybe I'll throw beer at them, since that seems to be the new fad.
