    Anyone been to the Phillies stadium?

    I was at 2 games at Citizens Bank Park last spring. I hit a Flyers playoff game on the Saturday afternoon, sandwiched in between 2 Phillies games on Friday and Sunday. Best weekend ever !!! Gorgeous ball park , probably not as much history as Fenway or Wrigley though, but I'm a huge Phillies fan so I'm a bit biased. All these "baseball only" parks are so nice, comapred to the Rogers Center (formerly the Skydome) here in Toronto that is just one huge ugly mass of concrete with absolutely NO character or ambience. I've been to Comerica Park in Detroit for a few games too, it's pretty nice...and actually attended a Tigers fantasy camp there a couple of summers ago. Couldn't believe how smooth the field was !

    Any chance I could buy tickets to a Red Sox game?
    If you win the Lottery!! LOL! they are outrageous!

    I live in New Hampshire and the last time I went to Fenway was in '04. One ticket cost me 78 bucks then, plus parking $30. Couple dogs, beverages and souvenirs and the cost for two people was pushing $300. I can't imagine what it would cost now. Still if you've never been to one of the old parks like Fenway or Wrigley, you should go at least once.

    These days I much prefer going to the triple or double A parks in places like Manchester, NH or Durham NC. In those places you can see the young guys play some good hard ball and the tickets are anywhere from 12 to 20 bucks... max.

    The old Yankee Stadium. New one is nice, but it's not the house that Ruth built. Haven't been to Fenway in a very long time. I'd like to get to Camden Yards this year, I have friends and co-workers that have gone and say it's very fan and family friendly. Was also hoping to get out to Kauffman Stadium this year to see the Yankees play the Royals in May, but that fell through.

    I'm an Orioles fan, so the urge to say "Camden Yards" is high, but I think Wrigley and/or Fenway take the honours. Both are should be made American National Treasures and watching a ball game there is a real treat and consumate americana..far more enjoyable than watching baseball in a McStadium.

    Been to Camden Yards, Nationals, Fenway, Philly, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Camden yards gets my vote as the best experience mainly because it is very family friendly.

    Good luck getting tickets Top, they're sold out all year. You'll likely have to get some from scalpers.

    All these "baseball only" parks are so nice, comapred to the Rogers Center (formerly the Skydome) here in Toronto that is just one huge ugly mass of concrete with absolutely NO character or ambience.

    I think Rogers Centre looks pretty cool. It has a hotel in the stadium. But when you got to a stadiums with a roof, it can feel like watching baseball in an airplane hangar.

    Agree..the Rogers Center is pretty drab and soul-less..which is odd as Toronto is a teriffic and very eclectic city. But you know hockey is the be-all and end -all in Canada. Those guys treat baseball as a bigger joke than americans treat hockey as a joke sport.

    Best view in baseball is Salt Lake City's Spring Mobile Ballpark, home of the Salt Lake Bees, AAA affiliate of the Angels. A stunning view of the majestic Wasatch mountains.

    Camden Yards is the best, but the 2 staduims in Texas are cool and Fenway is very nice.

    Fenway is the most amazing experience. I can't even put into words the whole experience from the old seats to the green monstah! My husband is from Cape Cod, so we got to go to a few games when we lived there. He won tickets at work for a Red Sox/Yankees game. That was off the charts! There is no other rivalry in baseball better than that. We live in Houston now, my hometown, and minute maid is good, but doesn't compare to fenway. :smile:
