Was there a decent neigbhorhood in Detroit in the 80's? I don't remember it being any worse the the rest of that crappy city. I was only 14 though, so it was all a new experience.

Hey now! Yes Michigan and Turnbull is a crappy area although Mexican town (tasty food) is only a block away.

Comerica is actually in an ok part of downtown.. Right by the Fox and State theatres and the opera house. I bought a 21 game package for the tigers and it was a great deal. We were right behind the bullpen and my wife loved when the people would heckle the opposing teams relievers. Any way here is my list

Anaheim
Dodger Stadium
Wrigley
Comiskey (old)
Comerica Park
PNC
Camden
Yankee
Fenway
Great American Ballpark (May 2008)

Two of mine aren't even used anymore:

1) Candlestick
2) The Kingdome
3) Fenway

I put zero, but I lied. I have seen a 49ers game at Candlestick.

I hope to add Petco to my list by the end of the summer. Just because I'll be in San Diego, I've never seen a MLB game in person, and my relatives have a kick-ass condo that essentially looks into the stadium.

Ooh, do you have any idea if it is in one of the two new high rises built across the street from Petco? Those with a southern view are a premium because people can sit on their balconies and watch the game.

I believe so. Although I think they have a northern view. However, there is a commons area on each floor that overlooks the park. Like I said, I am hoping to make it down to SD this summer to visit, and I can hopefully report. And if the southern ones are more of a premium than theirs... yikes.

Default My rankings of the parks I've attended a game at

Fenway- First by a mile
PNC - Best new park with the city in the background
Camden - Boogs place
Wrigley - Neighborhood park
Safeco - Beautiful park and good food
Kauffman - Small park great place to watch a game
Cools - It's nice but nothing really stood out
Dodger Stadium - It fits in with So Cal
Yankee - Did you notice nobody cares they are tearing it down
U.S Cellular - Nice place. Much better then expected
Comerica - I always felt like i was a mile away from the field
Oakland Coliseum - It's a football stadium
Great American - My least favorite of the new parks
Candlestick - Froze my butt during an August game
Three Rivers - A big round bowl
King Dome - Just the worst but the one I attended the most. Spent a summer in Seattle in the early 80's and you could buy a $7 ticket and sit about anywhere you wanted because only about 5000 people showed up for the games.

I said in the 80's. It's not too bad in a lot of places now. Comerica is in a fine area.

I left one out. I lived in Arizona for 7 years and went to about 10 - 12 games a year at The BOB and Chase Field. I knew I was forgetting an obvious one.
