Ballparks to visit before you die

While I agree that everyone who loves baseball should see a game at Yankee Stadium, I hate Yankee Stadium and the Yankees in general. I'm 22 now and for the past 10-12 years the Yankees have really turned their backs on their fans. When I was a little kid I loved going to Yankee games. My dad and I would get to the games super early and stand outside the gate the players come in to get autographs of guys like Scott Sanderson, Melido Perez, Tartabull, Gallego, Dion James, Luis Polonia and so on. And during the game we'd have no problem moving all the way up to field level after the 3rd or 4th inning. However, ever since the Yankees started to win the gates by the player entrance have gotten further and further apart to discourage fans and it is absolutely impossible to move from where your seat is. Security won't even let you onto the field level without a ticket. The Yankees are awful towards their fans and in return have caused me to no longer enjoy their games or their team. I just can't stand the arrogance. I'm not sure what the policy is like at other stadiums but it can't be as impersonal and unappreciative as Yankee Stadium.
