Default Ballparks to visit before you die

Posted By: John S

I love PNC...but I am biased.

When I lived in Boston I attended about 15 games at Fenway. The atmosphere in and around that park is incredible. The talk when I was in town ('97-'99) was that the park was going to be torn down. Is that still in the works? It would be a shame. I am trying to locate my "Save Fenway" bumper sticker to scan.

Living near Cleveland I have stopped to visit what is left of League Park a number of times. There is talk of partially renovating that area but it is not located in the safest part of town. Jacobs Field is nice, but doesn't compare to PNC.

If you do visit Pittsburgh have someone direct you to the site of Forbes field in the Oakland section of town. Part of the left field wall still stands where Maz's homer cleared to win the '60 series.

The worst stadium that I have ever been to was Tropicana Park in Tampa. Just a very sterile and blah atmosphere.
