Incorrect. That distinction is still held by Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland. Besides, who wants to go to a stadium where it's -30 three months out of the year

James- So far not one game rained out and beautiful weather. So far. If the boys make it to the World Series and are playing in late October/early November all bets are off
Actually Target Field was based a great deal on Camden Yards but the location and improvements make it better. And yes I am prejudiced but so many AL players have expressed their opinion that it is the best looking stadium in MLB.

I visited Camden Yards for the first time at this years national. It is certainly a nice stadium, but not the best I have seen. The new Yankee Stadium is OK but far from the nicest stadium I have ever seen and a total ripoff on seat prices. The nicest stadium I have seen is Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. I also really like the White Sox stadium. Both are well laid out, have an open comfortable feeling. Unfortunately, I have yet to visit the Twins new park.

BTW, David where were you from in the Bronx. I also grew up very close to Yankee Stadium (on Walton Ave) and went to my first game, with my dad, some time around 1959.
