How many mlb stadiums have you been to and which was your favorite?

I thought it would be fun to hear where you all have been to see games around the country and what was your favorite stadium? I am a young guy and have not been to as many games as I am sure some of you have, but I have been fortunate to make a few rounds when I was in a geographical location to allow me the privledge.

I have been to San Diego when they were still in Qualcomm, Anaheim twice, Dodger stadium, Coors field, the last Busch Stadium, the Astrodome, Safeco Field, and Great American Ball Park in cincy a few times.

In terms of what I thought the coolest field was I would have to go with Safeco. If you have ever seen it from the outside from the highway and then gone inside it is pretty cool from both perspectives. But in terms of overall my favorite place to watch a pro ball game I would have to say Anaheim. The waterfall and rock formation is just something you don't see at a stadium.

Would love to hear what others have experienced and maybe some cool stories while you were there.

I've been to The Ballpark in Arlington ( Texas Rangers ) & Turner Field. The Rangers stadium is beautiful! Loved it while i was there. Turner field was ok i hate the Braves so i didnt really enjoy it.

On the Monster in Boston, outfield ivy in Chicago and Yankee stadium were tops for me. Hard to pick a favorite. Did Boston and Chicago during the playoffs and my visits to Yankee Stadium were all regular season.

Yankee Stadium(s), the old Busch, Shea, Camden Yards, Nats Park

The old Yankee Stadium will never be topped for me.

Im a Red Sox fan & have never been to Fenway, i'd love to be able to get up there sometime. Even though i hate the Yankees i wish i could have gotten to the old Yankee Stadium. Would love to be able to go to Wrigley to.

Fenway, old and new Yankee, Shea, Camden Yards, and Philly. Naturally i have a bias towards the Fens, i've sat about everywhere, the Monster and RF roof bar were about equal. Comfort wise, new Yankee Stadium is nice, plenty of room to move about, plus it has some of the feel of an older park.

how is the affordability of a game at the new compared to the old yankee stadium? i always wanted to go to the old yankee stadium simply to say i had been there, but it seems like one of those parks that might just be too pricey to go to. same thing may apply for fenway if i had to guess. i certainly don't think i would go to great links to go out of my way to go to either fenway or yankee stadium, but for historically aspects it might be cool at some point if my team is there.

The rank and file ticket prices at Yankee arent astronomical, but they are a bit higher than Boston, which i assume is probably higher than everyóne else. However, they take price gouging on concessions to a new level.

IMO Wrigley in probably the most unique "stadium experience". There are very few frills, but it's just completely different from anything you see anywhere else.
