Would you rank Pittsburgh's PNC Park as one of the top 5 "Most Beautiful" ball parks in the Majors?

Question

I certainly would! But then again, I AM a biased Pittsburgh girl!

Answer 1

I've been to dozens of ballparks, and PNC Park is the best.

The only negative - constant roadway construction!  When is this casino ever supposed to be finished???

Answer 2

The key to this question is the idea of "Most Beautiful" - the setting is important to the question.  Both the setting outside and the view inside.

No question on these three:

PNC

Petco

Camden Yards

After that it gets harder.  The list to pick from includes:

Comerica Park

SBC

Safeco

Jacobs

Coors

Busch

Fenway, Wrigley, Yankee, Dodgers all historic, but not necessarily beautiful.  And no haters here - I really like all of these stadiums (have been to at least 10 games at each, and over 80 at Wrigley) - just trying to judge based on the criteria of "Most Beautiful"

And now - the "Not Beautiful"

Dolphins Stadium

US Cellular

Metrodome

Shea

Answer 3

If guess it could be.  Mine are Fenway Park, Oriole Park @ Camden Yards, Petco Park, Safeco Field and Wrigley Field.

Answer 4

It looks like a great park next the river and all that coolness. I love AT&T Park in SF too been there a few time its wonderful. I've been to the Mcafee Park in Oakland too... what a dump... oh well at least its affordable there

PNC

Fenway

Wrigley

Answer 9

If u r there I would!

Answer 10

Yes, no doubt about It! I

Answer 11

Kauffman Stadium was the most beautiful park in the bigs before the construction started.

When the update is finished, Kauffman Stadium will again, yes AGAIN be the model of gorgeous ballparks.

Only reason you could POSSIBLY disagree is---you have never been to a game in Kansas City.

I know the thumbs down are coming, but the truth hurts. It is some of the most horrible pain ever experienced.

Answer 12

I cannot stand watching games there on TV. The stadium looks drab on TV.

Answer 13

1.PNC Park

2.AT&T Stadium

3.Dodger Stadium

4.Oriole Park

5.Yankee Stadium

Answer 14

Honestly, never been, but from what I've seen on TV yes, it seems to have that feel.

My top three parks, of the 10 or so I've been too, would be as follows (in no special order):

1. PacBell (SF Giants): Comes closest to what you described for Pittsburgh. Great seating ANYwhere, terriffic mix of old-time with the modern amenities, and how can you not love a park that backs up to the SF Bay for the most amazing sunsets in the summer you could hope for.

2. Yankee Stadium (NY Yankees): For sheer majesty and historic value, there is nothing like a game at the house that Ruth built. Very sad to see it torn down this year (though the amenities stink).

3. Houston Astros (forget name of the park): This one is SUCH an engima! From the outside, it looks like a cross between a bunker and a shopping mall. But once INSIDE, what can you say about a park with the best food choices in the majors, parks for the kids pre and post game, a retractable glass dome, and a real live 1800's stream engine that moves up and down the left field side wall!
