The USA Today’s Ted Berg did something I wish I could do
this week, he ranked all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in the league. Now
sure, I could rank them all day long but he has actually visited all 30 and
that is the key component to my jealousy and to what makes this list unique and
great. Make sure to visit the link to check out his write up’s on all 30 MLB
stadiums and see where he ranks them but for the purposes of this post I will
sample the Top 10 stadiums and the write up for good ole’ Yankee Stadium in the
Bronx. Enjoy.
1.
Petco Park – San Diego Padres
2.
AT&T Park – San Francisco Giants
3.
PNC Park – Pittsburgh Pirates
4.
Wrigley Field – Chicago Cubs
5.
Dodger Stadium – Los Angeles Dodgers
6.
Kauffman Stadium – Kansas City Royals
7.
Coors Field – Colorado Rockies
8.
Fenway Park – Boston Red Sox
9.
Target Field – Minnesota Twins
10.
Citi Field – New York Mets
25. Yankee Stadium – New York Yankees:
Credit the Yankees for eschewing the typical new-old look
popular when their stadium opened in 2009, but not for producing a ballpark
that looks more like a Las Vegas casino version of a stately building than the
actual stately building they intended. The giant videoboard is great and the
sight of the 4-train rumbling past is very cool, but the Yankees play within a
couple of miles of some of the best Italian food on this great planet and
somehow dare to unironically serve Papa John’s Pizza at their ballpark. You
have to admire the chutzpah, really. — Ted Berg
Wow, so they ranked the Yankees #25 because they sell Papa Johns haha
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought that was a bit of a ridiculous inclusion as well. Seemed like a stretch to me but whatever, you get used to it.
