Maybe it was the lack of crowds, and the fact you could sit anywhere in general admission. Thus I am excited about this year, a good team, and crowds you can still deal with. And hopefully I will never have to sit in the RF upper deck again.

That led to me working there for 5 years, so I'm a little biased, but...

Still my favorite park in all of baseball.

Camden Yards has to be my favorite stadium that I've been to, and I've seen a few. I'll got an O's game any time, just because the stadium is that much fun to be at. I'd give the new Pittsburgh stadium high marks too. That was my favorite of our trip.

I also am partial to the Jake baecause I got to see Hershiser vs Maddux (and the Thome bomb) in Game 5 in '95 in my only visit to the Jake.

But I will give props to PacBell/SBC/AT&T in SF as well. It is very enjoyable stadium to watch a game in. Great viewlines, great food (garlic fries are awesome). The only drawback is the preppy feel. They serve wines and sushi. Sorry that just isnt ballpark stuff I partake in. I remember a game where I heard a bunch of 20+ girls giggling and having a good time. I turned around, and they were all drinking wine. Don't get me wrong, they were cute, but I had to turn away, you just don't drink wine at a baseball game.

As for Coors field, nothing too special, although the CF fountain is cool and you can actually see the field from most of the concourses while getting beer and hot dogs.

Wrigley is still my favorite park. All the others are great, but pretenders to the throne.

I give PNC and Citizens Bank Park (Philly) the nod over the Jake: PNC has a much better view, and the majority of the seats in CBP are in the lower deck. Of couse, they are both newer so the architects figured it out a little better.

I didn't like Camden as much as Jacobs. I still need to get to San Fran.

Can you believe some ballparks don't serve stadium mustard? The Jake has the best food hands-down: mustard-and-onion hot dogs!
