Baseball Stadium Roadtrip!: December 2009

Okay my fellow baseball blog followers, I have now visited 22 out of the 30 MLB parks. On a side note, I will be finishing the parks Summer of 2010. :) Can't wait!! But until then I want to rate MY favorite 5 parks that I visited this summer.

#5 - Great American Ball Park; Cincinnati Reds
Another great ball park for history when you think about Pete Rose. It has a great view of the river and the scoreboard is huge, but the information is not too overwhelming.

#4 - The Ballpark at Arlington; Texas Rangers
I like to call this one Disneyland! It is like a little piece of heaven. I especially liked the "Wingo" game. You have the feel of all the "old" ball parks with the overhang sytles.

#3 - AT&T Park; San Francisco Giants
I think I may be kinda biased here because I go to this ballpark a lot, but it is an amazing place to be. There is a great view of the bay and lots to do for all ages. And yes, I have been down the Coca-Cola slide! I have also been on the jumbo-tron for a game and won! :)

#2 - Chase Stadium; Arizona Diamondbacks
When I first walked out of the breezeway to see the field, my jaw literally dropped! I was taken back by the size and greatness that I saw. I was impressed based on looks alone. But it has lots to offer baseball fans with their retractable roof, which helps in the 100*+ weather. Although, it was in the 90's when I was there, but not hot enough to close the roof.

#1 - PNC Park; Pittsburgh Pirates
Out of the ball parks I have been to, this one is the best for me! It was a great view and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house! There are different entrances and ample parking, just don't get lost! PNC Park is my favorite...enough to make me want to move the Pittsburgh!

Sometimes it is hard to put into words what exactly makes some ballparks so wonderful! You will have to take my word for it and go visit them yourself! :)

You may wonder why I didn't list Fenway Park or Wrigley Field. While both are great places it view a game and both have mounds and mounds of history, they were just that and nothing super spectactular for me. I liked them, but maybe I am to used to the new age with the color screens and more detailed information about the players...Of course, don't get me wrong... I loved being in both places and will be back to see more games!!!
