Where’s the solar panels for air conditioning?Cutting Edge Ballpark Design Is Inspired by an Armadillo To Help It Beat the Las Vegas Heat
And you'll be able to see the Las Vegas Strip from the stands.
Havent lived in Vegas for 9 years now... and while I like baseball its not my favorite sport... but its hard to beat baseball in person. Will definitely make the trip home and go to a few games at the new park. Will have to time it with a Rebel football home game.
I go to about 15 Padres games a year. Nothing better than just standing out in the centerfield area (Gallagher Square) at a bar table in perfect weather drinking beer watching baseball.
I hope it becomes like Chicago Cubs home games on a hot day where everyone is mass drunk and fighting each other!!
Go to Philly and wear visiting fan jersey and jump up and down after beating Philly team and see what happens!
The 33k capacity is smart makes it a lot easier to fill and provides better views with a smaller stadium.
Make it like a nightclub. Lower the number, jack up the prices..
Shopping around for Vegas Athletics gear..
Damn you Oakland Athletics, I collected baseball cards when you overprinted stuff..
The Rock Pile was fun. Remember when we were sitting behind the Dodgers bullpen, Roger McDowell with the Binos and the beer server girl?
I'm a little over half way through seeing all the Stadiums. So far top 5 ballpark.
1- Wrigley (Just hard to beat atmosphere and nostalgia)
2-Fenway really could swap 1 and 2.
3-Petco in San Diego is such a cool set up.
Here it gets tough
4-Camden Yards
5-St Louis
Pittsburgh would be top 5 but I have a little OCD. The Park and backdrop are amazing. BUT! They have these bushes in the outfield that spell out Pirates. Looks great except they planted them off center. I kid you not it drove me nuts. Instead of focusing on the skyline and bridges as a backdrop I'm thinking. Just plant the damn bushes centered!
The Old Rangers stadium was really cool.
Im sure this will offend Dodgers fans, but where Wrigley and Fenway feel like classics, like a 60's Mustang Dodger Stadium just feels outdated.
Cincinnati Great American Park has incredible fans and is beautiful. Went cross country a few years back. Wanted to go to St. Louis but they were away. Coors field also. Best by far , for me are Yankee Stadium and Fenway and Wrigley. Yankees fan, but Fenway was so cool with the green monster and Wrigley is iconic and so much fun
A friend just finished going to every stadium last year.
Im a Mets fan..Did the regular season subway series with my buddy a few years back and caught a game at both parks.
Yankee Stadium is cool. Its just so damn big a lot of it felt hollow? Not sure how to explain it. Not nearly as 'cozy' as other parks. Not knocking it, it's impressive. Just didn't have that nostalgia feel to it I guess.
Great America was solid for sure. Cool run of bars, great fans.
When I lived in the Bay Area growing pot, I went to an Oakland A’s game. Easy to get into..took the BART. Tickets were cheap, atmosphere..awful. Birds flying around to take a dump on fans, double awful.
Also went to a Royals game in wherever city their in back in 1984 or 1985.
long live Brett..that guy who threw a fit over pine tar.

Yankee Stadium is cool. It just doesn’t have the nostalgia of the old Yankee stadium and the other parks. Baltimore excellent ballpark. An underrated park is Washington nationals. It doesn’t have the nostalgia of the others, but it has the best site lines of any ballpark I’ve been to. And the food is superb.
Another useless thread without a recap of which park has the hottest, preferably drunk babes. Get your priorities and information straight please.
Washington on the list this year or next.
Atlanta is a pretty park. Really well done. Not top 5 for me but I'd go back.
Angel's stadium meh.
Giants ballpark is beautiful. Just outside top 5 for me.
Was disappointed in Coors field. Not a bad park just expected more I guess.
Seattle meh.
White Sox..Solid food options, better park than I imagined it would be but nothing special.
Went and saw A's at the Colosseum. Took the BART to get there. Got off started walking up its all chain link fence and barb wire. With the grey massive Colosseum in the background thought I was going to a California Penal and Corrections League game at a prison.😁
Of God the colosseum what a Grade A dump and not in a great neighborhood either.
Giants is nice! Nationals I have heard in the same vein as Milwaukee in that it is blah so I was surprised after low expectations.
Best mlb stadiums I've been to were Houston Astrodome, Detroit tiger stadium, fenway and old Jack Murphy stadium. Alot of that was from nostalgia/childhood memories.
The Astrodome was horrible, lol. Cool for what it was when it first opened, but it wasn't a nice stadium compared to most.
I watched a football and baseball game in Jack Murphy. I think the best part of it was that it was in San Diego where the weather is always perfect.
I liked Seattle's stadium. I like that it had a retractable roof but still felt like you were outside.
Fenway and Wrigley are on my bucket list. The old Yankee stadium was, but no interest in the new one, though I have seen that their food options are bonkers.
Camden does look really cool.
It was pretty cool though for the time, I went to a Houston Oilers game there it was my first dome stadium experience, and it was pretty awesome at the time.
I went to go get my Ichinutz custom jersey at Seattle Stadium. Came back my cousin Sue’s kid got a foul ball. Also Ichiro robbed someone by catching the ball over the fence.
2005. Good times.
Who doesn’t want a retractable dome with air conditioning here in Vegas?
Yeah big thumbs down on this. You can't call Dodger Stadium outdated and proceed to list the 2 biggest dumps 1-2. Wrigley and Fenway are shitholes. Been to both of those also. They are cool if you like wading through inch high beer and vomit on the concourse. Wrigley gets an A+ for the party outside.
Dodger Stadium is not that great either. But it is the most beautifully aesthetic setting in baseball. There is a reason why they call it 'the Cathedral'. .Just don't sit in the bleachers and run your mouth or you might get stabbed lol.
60s Mustangs are classics. Wrigley and Fenway.
80s Mustangs are outdated. Nobody ever says man that 80s Mustang is sweet, what a classic!🙂
That fox body 5.0, is starting to become more "classic"!
I agree 100% though when it comes to stadiums.
Fenway isn’t dirty or a shithole but I don’t like it because of the wooden uncomfortable as hell seats with no leg room on the bottom concourse not to mention the seats that sit sideways and you have to turn your body to watch the game or the charming seats behind a pole. The Green Monster seats are cool as hell though.
