I think Petco is a sweet park personally with that Building in play

I agree. I also like tony gwynns statue in the park just behind. I visited San Diego a couple years ago and I thought it was pretty neat that people can basically walk into Petco and check it out whenever they want.
It's hard to argue with the top 5 though I'd probably put Petco 6th.

100 year old park. Obstructed views. Small clubhouses for players.

Regardless of its flaws, it is the epitome of the true baseball experience when the sport was still America's pasttime.

For pure play, it's a joy to watch. As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I remember my first trip to Fenway in '84. It still takes my breath away to this day. I look forward to the same experience with my children, which my oldest may get to experience either this year or next!

My favorite experiences of Fenway: How balls that would be homers anywhere else in left turn into very long singles. Playing in an online league, it's a challenge to play balls hit off either the Monster, or the Center Field wall. You misplay it, and the batter will just keep on running!

Here's to another 100 years!

Where the Monster intersects with the left wall of the center field camera block, if you got the ball in that corner, it would be a guarrenteed (spellcheck needed) inside the park home run in MVP 05 because the center fielder would try to run through the wall. Good times with David Ortiz.

Ah Fenway..no other park like it..I've been there only once and it was when Mo Vaughn was a rookie and Frank Viola was pitching, the Green Monster seats did not exist and you could get a ticket to a Red Sox game with no problem..The Brewers were still in the American League and that's who they faced the day I arrived...

The Sox lost that day, missed Roger Clemens pitching by one day..but I didn't care..I was on top of the world at Fenway Park..

Huge red sox fan here but I have been to several parks and Fenway is just surreal. I got to take my two boys for the first time a couple years ago and it was a moment I will never forget when we got through the tunnel and saw the field. We look forward to it every year now.

I love the Green Monster. Fun to smack 2B's off the wall and homers over. Here is my PS3 wallpaper, my RTTS guy (Braves 3B) hitting one over the wall off Vincente Padilla. Beautiful stadium.

Re: Top Five Digital Ballparks: #1 Fenway Park

ummm no Fenway is a hole, tradition whatever, its a hole. PNC Park, AT&T Park, Progressive Field etc.... Fenway is in the bottom 10.

Imagine if it were made this year how bad it would be rated. Nothings worse than Topicana though, and yes Fenway is Better than the Rogers Centre cuz I know someone will say that

[blueandwhite]

All these parks are great, but I gotta say that the lack of PNC Park is a disappointment. Don't judge the stadium on the team that plays in it.

Re: Top Five Digital Ballparks: #1 Fenway Park

In my 34 years on earth, I have lived no further than 10 miles from Fenway.
I've been fortunate to go to 131 Red Sox games there(and two hockey games!), and have saved every last ticket stub from the time I was a kid.

In college 96-2000- I decided that I wanted to see at least 1 new ballpark every year until I have seen them all(or 2,3, 4, as luck has panned out).

In 2012- Fenway Park is a nice museum. Its a terrible ballpark if even a small market team inhabited it, let alone a team with the Red Sox funds.

Its really a dump. I know a lot of baseball fans, and people in general cling to nostalgia and tradition(as do I on certain aspects of the park, and the game itself). However, Fenway is years, possibly decades past being a place where an MLB team should call home.

After seeing some of these other ball parks(safeco, pnc, comerica, just to name a couple, heck even camden yards which is nearing 20 years old now) are all so much nicer in almost every facet.

Turn it into a museum, play a game or series there every summer, and use it for other functions.

I have been there once and it's a surreal experience. It has kind of a homey feel to it, passing money and food down the aisle to give to the salesmen, watching the home run ball, oh watching the home run ball. It is the most majestic thing you'll ever see. I felt like I was dreaming. Too bad the Rays hit it

Re: Top Five Digital Ballparks: #1 Fenway Park

Fenway is so fun to play in, with the monstah! in left, short wall in right and the deep center dimensions you never know what can happen...
A lot of the time I'll belt a ball off the wall and only get a single when at other park it would be a homer or at least a double...
But then again you can hit a high scraper off the wall and end up with a triple when in other parks it would be a fly out

Also at the same time it's so historic, i don't know how they could ever make a new stadium for the Red Sox... I feel like when that park goes out of commission so should the Red Sox... Long Live Fenway!

Yeah I got a little off topic here, lol...
