    What is the best Stadium to play in and why?

    I've chosen Polo Grounds to play with my Yankee franchise. Back to the Babe Ruth days. I just love the view. I know it's a homerun fest left and right field, but it's so beautiful to look at and trying to hit one upper deck is a beautiful sight.

    OP@CY. The OG for setting the standard for which all new ballparks are based on and is still one of the best in the bigs.

            WAAAAAY back I went to a Cleveland / Baltimore game at Camden. Dennis Martinez and Eddie Murray's return to that city, but playing for my Cleveland. Great game and really nice stadium.

              Camden is cool too, but real OG park is Polo Grounds. It's a very offense friendly park. You rope one down the middle that's a potential inside the park.

                Chase Field in Arizona

                Alright...it's probably not the best overall but for some reason I've always hit well there, so it's near the top for me.

                  I could appreciate that stadium. It's nice and I kinda like indoor stadiums tbh. That's the one with the pool right? I'd like to hit a homer in that pool.

                  Other great indoor stadiums too I love to play in are Hubert Humphrey. That big old right field fence is the Fenway of right fields.


                  Not really indoor, but half dome, Rogers Centre. That stadium is just dope and i'm saying that as an American.

                    Also love Miller Park. That funny little mascot Brewers have sliding down after a home run is another perk of playing there.

                      Another vote for Hubert Humphreys with Camden yards being a good one too

                        What's a park that is not homerun friendly, but more likely to allow more doubles and triples.

                          I would say Fenway, Comerica and Coors Field.

                          They all got deep centerfields so more real estate to cover once it gets roped overhead or in the gaps, but Fenway in particular because of the Green Monster. If not a homerun, that's a sure shot double, triple and sometimes inside the park homeruns.

                            ... or sometimes only a single off the Monstah, seen it happen many times that a ball is hit so hard off the LF wall that the batter is held to a single.
