In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have chosen what I consider to be the very best 3 ballparks in the US. Do you agree?

Baseball is a game that few people watch alone. In fact, the more people who are watching it together, the more engaging and fun the game gets. The social aspect of this game might be why, no matter what team is playing, baseball remains so popular in the face of other faster and more exciting sports. However, it is not just the passionate audience that makes the game what it is, it is also the facilities, the surroundings and the ambience of the stadium itself. Here are the top baseball stadiums of America with a look at what exactly makes them such great ballparks:

3. Fenway Park, Boston – built in 1912, Fenway is easily the oldest ballpark in America, virtually deeming itself the great ancestor of all ballparks in America. Besides being the oldest, it also prides itself on being the home of the Red Sox. The people of Boston and the Red Sox themselves are fiercely loyal to Fenway, and would never let the old thing be torn down for something more modern. Instead of tearing it down, they added seats to the right field roofs, the first base, and the third base as well as to the legendary and historical Green Monster, a 37 foot wall looming over the left field. Altogether the park now seats 37,000 spectators. The park still aids a manual baseball scoreboards, which highlights the ballpark’s marriage of the traditional with the modern. Besides that, Fenway is situated in a prime spot for visitors/tourists. All they have to do is walk the Freedom Trail and they will find great historical and modern places to visit.

2. Yankee Stadium, New York City – from “The house that Ruth built” to the “New Yankee Stadium”! The old stadium was torn down in 2008, and the new Yankee Stadium was built at the whooping cost of $ 1.3 billion (talk about no expense being spared!), but that probably isn’t a lot for the richest baseball team. Besides being a beautiful stadium, the new Yankee Stadium also acts as a museum for the house that Ruth built. It hasn’t forgotten its history and wears it proudly for everyone to witness. Just like the Fenway Park, the new Yankee Stadium is in a prime spot for visitors, with Soho, Madison Ave, Chinatown, MoMa, and the Guggenheim all in the vicinity.

1. Wrigley Field, Chicago – only two years junior to the Fenway Park i.e. built in the year 1914, the Wrigley Field Park is the best baseball stadium in all of America. It provides the ultimate baseball experience. Surrounded by the beautiful neighborhood of Wrigley, a great baseball pitch, lush grass, and great seats, the Wrigley has it all. Perhaps the most invigorating feature for the spectators is the bleachers built right on to the stadium’s roof. Just like the other two stadiums, this stadium offers a mix of entertainment for its visitors. If someone is in the mood for a good laugh, they can go to Second City Chicago Theater.
