Really Journey? I'll tell you something, it was just extraordinary to be there when Mark Loretta belted that 2 run shot over the monster. With 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th to win it on Patriots day, the infamous 11am game.
It was pandamonium. The music that they play when the sox win was on and everyone was just yelling and hollering, I hugged my friend and smiled and I dont think I had ever done that before in the 18 years I have known him. Only Fenway could bring that out!
Others would have to be:
2. Anahiem
3. Yankee stadium
Never been to those two but they make for great television and an aire of drama that just seems so unmistakable.
Last year at the bash, I was sitting next to two older woman from Mass like me. We were at the Binion's bar cafe eating some deli stuff. They had just come from seeing the Angels play the Red Sox! What a small world. They told me RSN was very well represented there, but they love that ball park and that they loved making the trip. It helped cure that little bit of home sickness I had on sunday night when the bash was over with.

Well OK, I cant think of a park I'd rather be at but that is obvious fan bias.
Watching on TV, I really cant say with 100% conviction that fenway is my favorite. Although the outfield is tops to me. I just can't think of anything better than the Monster, the coke bottles and Pesky pole.
Infield I might have to go with Anahiem just becuase I enjoy the scenery, it has a very clean look that is'nt trying too hard.
I have to break it into sections I guess

I agree with Fenway. I've always wanted to see a game there. My favorite would have to be Tiger Stadium, just for the history involved. It was a great place to see a ballgame. Had great times wherever I sat, especially in the centerfield bleachers, and at 5$ a ticket, the price was right. Too bad it may be torn down soon. The city cannot afford to keep it up anymore and someone wants to build on the land. Comerica Park is a nice place as well, but nothing like the old stadium at Michigan and Trumbull.

ego: The new Busch stadium is very nice. Been twice already but it's not the same. It's not as loud as the old stadium. But the beer is still great and the nachos!! Wrigley is cool because it is old but I don't care to ever go back because I hate seeing those bastard Cubs. Fenway is probably my favorite ballpark i've been to.
petco in downtown san diego rocks! theres no bad seats and its in a great location on the bay.sunsets are breath taking and downtown looks spectacular. the padres hate it but what can ya do? at night when its all lit up its like being in a far away place,almost surrealistic after being in qualcomm stadium for so many years.the nightclubs surrounding it gets packed and all of the city is buzzing after a game.

Roxy - are we talking about the same Petco?
there is NOTHING BUT TERRIBLE seats
almost EVERY SEAT has an obstructed view
i went to a game and sat down by the LF fence
i could NOT see
the last 20 feet of the fence or the foul line or a lot for that matter
they MAJOR LEAGUE F****D UP when they built Petco - how can a NEW place have THAT MANY OBSTRUCTED VIEW SEATS
Petco is a TOILET!
I did enjoy Coors - mostly for the unusualness of it
