Best Stadiums in Baseball - from New, Shiny to Classic, Historical

Baseball stadiums are considered shrines to the great American past time and there are classic ones that are engrossed in history and there are brand new ones that offer luxurious views and accommodations. Stadiums are studied and marveled over and some are just simple parks with a great retro feel. Baseball stadiums are a huge part of the actual team and a lot of fans coincide teams with the parks they play in, such as the old Ebbets Field in Brooklyn or the Polo Grounds that used to reside across the Harlem River from the old Yankee Stadium. Stadiums are amazing pieces of architecture and today there is no shortage of amazing ballparks in spectacular venues. Here is the list of the top 10.

10. Citizens Bank Ballpark, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. This new ballpark boasts great prices, incredible seating and fair prices. Not to mention the two time defending NL Champions. One of the best venues to watch a game today.

9. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. This brand new field located in Queens is a lot less expensive than the new Yankee Stadium and comes with almost the same commodities, minus the World Champions and the plethora of home runs from pitcher friendly dimensions.

8. Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. In always-beautiful, always-sunny San Diego, the park has an old feel to it. And for fans of classic baseball, this pitcher-friendly field permits small ball to be played more often than long ball.

7. Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. With an awe-inspiring view of the St. Louis Arch and the ability to watch one of the best teams in baseball and its best player and probably the strongest and best fan base in all of sports. Walk into Busch Stadium and you are engulfed in the color red.

6. Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. A fan friendly ball park where you can see balls fly out of the yard, there seems to be something for everyone in the cozy confines of Milwaukee.

5. Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles. Constantly listed among the top stadiums in any sport, Oriole Park is probably the most fan friendly place to go watch a game, it is indescribable. The only way you can know what this park brings is by going there for yourself.

4. Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees. Although the highest priced stadium in everything, tickets, beer, hot dogs, anything at all, it is one of the most astounding places to watch a baseball game today, boasting the best team in baseball and an All-Star line up, with Hollywoodesque type players.

3. AT&T Park, home of the San Fransisco Giants. Once boasted the premier player in the league, this park still draws fans for every home game. With the amazing view of McCovey Cove and the Splash Shot counter in left field, you can't help but enjoy yourself in sunny California.

2. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. One of the two oldest stadiums around still today, this place boasts history unlike any park in the game. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and so many Hall of Famers have played games inside Boston's cozy confines. The seats on top of the Green Monster are easily the best in sports.

1. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. The only reason Wrigley Park is ranked above Fenway Park in this list is because it is synonymous with the city of Chicago. Whenever I think about Chicago, Wrigley Field comes to mind and the ivy on the outfield walls is as classic as it comes.
