In my summer filled with baseball, I went to a total of 30 different stadiums. You may think.. "how in the fuck can you possibly tell one from the other? If you can.. you seriously must be some sort of Hindu God, cause that shit would be hard hard HARD!" Well, I'm no Hindu God, but believe it or not I was able to separate all of the different stadiums in my head. I can remember which had the best this and which had the best that for many different things. In order to make my ultimate top to bottom list, I went through each team and meditated on its positives and negatives and determined if the net of these positives/negatives were better or worse than another team's net positives/negatives. I did this until I had a complete list that ranked each and every team. The main things I considered were the fans enthusiasm, the charm of the experience, and the stadium itself. To me, the most important thing was the fan enthusiasm, and the least important thing was the sexiness of the stadium (this is just a sweet way of saying the prettiness of the stadium.. which includes the view and look of the stadium. I kept a running tally of this through the year and included each team's rank in with their section). What this generally means is that a team with an outstanding fan base but poor stadium would be higher on my list then a team with an amazing stadium but a poor fan base. In most cases, it was a real tough choice, but I just tried to think of the entire experience as a whole in a very general way when comparing it to a team that it was close to in order to figure out which was better. Without any help from the heavens.. here it is.. the Greatest Hits: Baseball Stadium Edition.
30. Florida Marlins (Dolphins Stadium)
The Good... Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This is literally the only stadium where there are absolutely no positives to speak of.
And the Bad... Everything. The stadium was an absolute hole that literally showed no signs that made anybody believe the Marlins played in the NFL's atrociously decorated Dolphin Stadium too and the fans were so incredibly apathetic for their team that you could hear pins drop. I could go on and on. I never wanted a sporting event to be over until I went here. This place should be avoided at all costs.

29. Washington Nationals (Nationals Park)
The Good... Home to the newest stadium in Major League Baseball, the Nats provide a nice place to see a game with new everything that does not leave a grungy aftertaste to the sports going experience. Simply put, this place hasn't experienced the wear and tear that other stadiums experience since it simply hasn't existed that long.
And the Bad... The whole experience to a Nats game is extremely dead. The biggest reason is the cost of everything related to the game. It had some of the highest prices in all of baseball, and the team is one of the worst franchises in the sport. Since they are a new team, the fan base hardly exists in the first place, and having high prices doesn't help that one bit. The makeup of the city itself also makes the games dead. The people of D.C. are all business/government types who likely have sports very low on their list. From this, you get a fan base that really does not get into the game and the entire atmosphere suffers.

28. Toronto Blue Jays (Rogers Centre)
The Good... The only team north of the border gives a unique experience to America's game. Instead of going to the Rogers Center, seeing a home run go 387 feet, and hearing the Canadian National Anthem responded to apathetically, you are going to the Rogers Centre, seeing a home run go 118 meters, and hearing damn near everybody sing along to the Canadian National Anthem. Only in Canada can baseball ever be like this.
And the Bad... Not surprisingly, these people don't care that much about baseball. When things got interesting throughout the game, you could hardly separate it from the uninteresting times as the fans never really reacted too differently to the events of the game. It's simply not their sport.
Distinctions: WINNER: Foreign Baseball Experience
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 27th
27. Oakland A's (McAfee Coliseum)
The Bad... Going to a game in Oakland is like going to a game squarely in the ghetto. While other teams also have their home stadiums in bad parts of town, with Oakland, you can actually tell. A majority of the Oakland fans had a street vibe to them that I did not see anywhere else. It made for a unique MLB experience to say the least.
And the Worse... The fans of the team had a pretty pathetic turnout. Weekend games against a rival opponent like the San Francisco Giants was poorly attended by the home crowd, so much so that it almost felt as if it was even between the two supporters, and the home fans that were there really didn't give a damn about their A's. If there is no atmosphere against a big rival, I couldn't imagine how bad it would be against lesser teams.

STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 25th
26. Arizona Diamondbacks (Chase Field)
The Good... The stadium was an example of when a dome is done right. It was spacious but you still felt like you were at a baseball game as the stadium wasn't too big for its own good. It's hard to pull off the indoor stadium, but this place along with Milwaukee, Seattle, and Houston succeed beautifully.
And the Bad... The fans of the Diamondbacks are pretty much crappy. It felt like nearly every single fan there was a retired transplant who came to Phoenix to die in the desert heat. With this dynamic comes the majority of the area's inhabitants holding allegiances to the teams they grew up around, not the team they currently live by. They may cheer for them, but in the end they could care less if they have success since they care much more about the home team they left behind.

The Bad... The stadium the Rays call home is horrid. You would think that a nice and tropical area like Tampa Bay would have a nice stadium to go along with it, but you would be mistaken. Instead, you are left with a drab and ugly dome that feels nothing like watching an MLB game and more like witnessing a cheap, knockoff version of the sport in Juneau, Alaska.
And the Worse... The fans are absolutely terrible in every way. They get loud and exciting for big moments, sure, but they are so incredibly bandwagon. You could not pay them enough to go to games last year but now all of a sudden they're good so everybody is rabid supporters? No thanks. I don't buy it. Show up in the bad years to impress me. Until that happens, they're shit.

24. Atlanta Braves (Turner Field)
The Bad... A game in Atlanta is the only place where you can experience the ugliness that is the dirty South. The hierarchy of the area was easily seen, with African Americans appearing as if they were second class citizens by holding the service jobs and the White people holding all the more respected jobs, even if it is something trivial like an usher. This wasn't the only example, but just the whole area had that overtone along with it. It was kind of sad to see this type of societal setup still exist today.
And the Worse... The fans were absolutely pathetic. They appeared like they were loud and into the game, but their enthusiasm was entirely based on what the stadium fan coordinator decided to get everybody into. If the dude wanted the fans to do their famous tomahawk chop, they would play the song that makes the fans do it. If they wanted a chant, they queued it on the big board. None of this stuff sprung up organically. The fans were the biggest sheep in all of baseball and it just shows how clueless they are.

23. Texas Rangers (Rangers Ballpark in Arlington)
The Good... The charm of the experience for the Rangers is like none other. This is the only place where you can watch a game that has true Texan and "country" spirit. They sing songs that show their love of all things Texas and have the country drawl to boot. Coming here is like going to a Texas pride parade.
And the Bad... The very Texan fans are also fans who do not get overly excited about baseball. They never really got into the game and showed that baseball is not an important part of their life. The actual game experience suffered because of this as you need excited fans to feel emotionally connected to the action which doesn't happen here.

22. Cincinnati Reds (Great American Ballpark)
The Good... In an area where you would not expect a nice and pretty stadium, you get one with the Reds. The view in the stadium is of the Ohio River and it really is surprisingly pretty. While the view is only experienced in full force for the fans in the upper deck, the rest of the stadium is new and modern and as a whole it is a nice and comfortable place to see a game.
And the Bad... The fans did not show themselves to be real solid in their support. They rose up at times, but it was not the kind of excitement I was expecting for a game against a cross state rival (which I saw). It makes me think that most games showcase even less enthusiasm for their Reds, which means that the atmosphere can't be considered the best at this place.
Distinctions: WINNER: Psst.. You Don't Know We Got A Pretty Stadium
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 7th
21. Colorado Rockies (Coors Field)
The Good... The stadium for the Rockies fits in beautifully to the city it inhabits. The view of the Rocky Mountains can be easily seen from downtown Denver, and the stadium is designed in such a way that the mountains can be seen from most of the stadium vantage points. The stadium is also in a vibrant area and it plugs in wonderfully to its surroundings where many of Denver's hotspots are not all too far away.
And the Bad... The fans have proven themselves to be incredibly bandwagon. I have had the ability to attend games at different times of the Colorado Rockies history, both before and after their playoff success of 2007. Before, the place was dead and no person in Denver truly cared about the Rockies. After? Everybody did. It took a successful run to bring excitement to the ballpark. While it's better than nothing, it shows the fans aren't totally true to their team.

20. Los Angeles Angels (Angels Stadium of Anaheim)
The Good... This place represents the Southern California vibe at its finest. The fans have a laid-back approach to following their team in that they don't live and die by their success. If they win, great, if not, so what.. they got better things to do. This kind of thing usually is a turn off, but here, it works. It's the general feeling of the area.. if things don't go the Angels way, you can always go to the beach and relax.. Southern California style.
And the Bad... The look of the stadium is less than ideal. It is not very pretty and does not suit the glamour of Southern California. This place would make more sense if it were in an industrial town, but it's Tinseltown, and its out of place.
Distinctions: WINNER: California Dreamin'
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 24th
19. San Francisco Giants (AT&T Park)
The Good... Like the rest of San Francisco, the stadium is absolutely gorgeous. The stadium is perched squarely next to the bay so much so that home run balls can be hit into the water. Because of this proximity to the bay, incredible views can be had from all around the stadium. The overall aesthetic of the stadium itself is also outstanding, as it fits in beautifully to its surrounding area, which is also first rate. Everything about this stadium is incredibly well kept and beautiful.
And the Bad... The expensive nature of the city of San Francisco has dramatically hurt the baseball experience. Everything relating to the game experience was pricey, so much so that fans who regularly attend would have to be wealthy. This leaves a snooty and apathetic fan base that really could care less about the results of their Giants. The high cost to go to a game have priced out the real fans and all that is left is a bunch of pretenders.

18. Milwaukee Brewers (Miller Park)
The Good... When going to a game at Miller Park, it's hard not realizing you are seeing a game up in Milwaukee, an area known for its beer making. Their was a large presence of tailgating to the Brewer game, which is incredibly rare with baseball since there are so many games in the year. The fans also get pretty buzzed that by the time the end of the game rolls around, the fans are basically drunk. Only in Milwaukee can you really see this.
And The Bad... The fans appeared to be pretty apathetic towards the game until good things happened for them. The game was close the whole time, but excitement wasn't really felt until they scored some runs. There was plenty of chances for them to get excited throughout the game, but it only truly happened when they scored. It makes me wonder why they can't get excited for anything else but a sure thing, which is disappointing.

17. New York Mets (Shea Stadium)
The Good... What you see is what you get with the Mets fans. They are true New Yorkers who do not like the trendy team of the city but instead cheer on a team that gets no love from the media and is largely forgotten. And while they may not get overly excited during big games, you know their loyalties are not fake and they hold true to their team through thick and thin.
And the Bad... The stadium is incredibly poorly designed. Useless metal rails fill each section which takes away from the overall look of the stadium. The overall appearance just feels very drab in general. The sight lines are also less than ideal and constant maneuvering is required to see the action.
Distinctions: WINNER: We're Not Trendy and We Like It Like That!

16. Minnesota Twins (Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome)
The Good... The fans of the Twins are some of the most enthusiastic you will see. Loud roars can be heard for even the smallest of good plays and hope never wavers even with a deficit. They are true diehards that live and die by the fate of their team through thick and thin.
And the Bad... The Twins play in by far the worst stadium in Major League Baseball. The huge dome is also host to the NFL's Vikings and as a result the baseball vibe is nonexistent. Baseball is meant to be played outdoors with a stadium that fits the field, but here, the stadium is indoors and if it wasn't for the diamond on the field you would think you are watching football because of how expansive and empty the stadium feels. It's so bad that it makes you forget the good fans that do exist here.

STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 30th
15. Detroit Tigers (Comerica Park)
The Good... After many years of losing seasons, the Tigers still have faithful fans that come out in droves. Sure, they had a World Series season that brought a lot of fakers out to the ballpark, but after having a highly disappointing season the fans still sold out the stadium even when all hope was lost. The fans are true to their team and they support them through thick and thin, which is an admirable trait for a fan base to have.
And the Bad... While not one of the worst areas in baseball, the Tigers are pretty close. The depressed economy that is Detroit is readily apparent when leaving the area around the stadium, as everything feels worn down and the Tigers had the highest level of beggars seen compared to the rest of the teams. It's a sad city to see and it is not hard to get a feel for the struggles of the city when going to a game.

14. Chicago White Sox (U.S. Cellular Field)
The Good... The South Siders have a unique crowd that is truly one of a kind. The fans seemingly hold a grudge against the more popular northern neighbor and the popularity that they have across the country. Some may see this as annoying, but it just shows that they are real fans who are not afraid to like an unpopular team and instead hold true to their roots.
And the Bad... The area of the stadium is absolutely horrible. The South Side of Chicago is known country-wide as the worst of areas. The area is high crime and no baseball related businesses exist in the surrounding blocks because of it. The stadium itself also feels as worn down as the rest of the area. There is no before-and-after celebration to be had around the stadium, it is simply just going to the game and back.. nothing more.

13. Kansas City Royals (Kaufman Stadium)
The Good... The Royals fans remind you of what you would see if watching a game many years ago. It seemed like a simple and authentic country experience where the people did not show the same flashiness as people of the big cities but instead were simple folk who simply enjoyed going to a baseball game on an easygoing weekday in the summer. The fans really took you back to a simpler time.
And the Bad... There was not much excitement to the game itself with the Royals fans. They have been bad for a long time, true, but that doesn't excuse the fact to have such a lax attitude towards big moments for the game. There are fan bases out there who still get up for their poor teams, and the Royals fan base is not one of them.
Distinctions: RUNNER-UP: Best Bargain
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 22nd
12. Houston Astros (Minute Maid Park)
The Good... The fans of the Astros were surprisingly smart and engaged in the action. They knew when to cheer and the opportune times to rise up and try and get their team going. They weren't just mindless drones who followed along with the big board but they actually had an impact on the game. I didn't think it would be like this seeing as how they play in a shiny new stadium, so I was pleasantly surprised.
And the Bad... The Astros play in a nice retractable roof stadium, and while I get the reason for it since it is incredibly hot in Houston, I don't get why they had it closed for the game when it wasn't that hot out. Baseball should be played in the outdoors, and it was a comfortable night where the roof most definitely could have been off, but instead they opted for it to be on so people could be comfortable. It's baseball.. come on. Keep the roof open if it's nice out.
Distinctions: WINNER: Who Says Baseball Can't Be Played Indoors?
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 9th
11. Cleveland Indians (Progressive Field)
The Good... The fans of the Indians are the real deal. They saw their team start with huge expectations of being a World Series contender to becoming a highly disappointing third place team in the division. No matter. The fans still showed up fully and created a memorably loud atmosphere even in an incredibly insignificant late season game. They showed that no matter how good or bad the team is, they will still show up and have the same level of enthusiasm.
And the Bad... The stadium itself wasn't exactly memorable. It felt like any ole stadium in the league and did not make itself fit into the area. It was just a separate entity that had no charm to it. While it looked nice and had a decent view, it didn't exactly stand out in any way.
Distinctions: RUNNER-UP: Drunk Idiots
STADIUM SEXINESS RANKING: 15th
10. Baltimore Orioles (Oriole Park at Camden Yards)
The Good... Even with a perennial loser, the fans still come out and strongly support their team. It's hard, considering they are in the best division in baseball and are largely forgotten year after year. It just shows that the fans who do show up are the real deal and they truly love their team no matter how little love they get.
And the Better... In what is widely regarded as the first modern stadium, it is also the first one that does everything right. It perfectly mixes in the vibe of the city by using brick in its design, which is heavily seen across the city of Baltimore. The entire style of the stadium feels like it is many decades old, but it is still relatively new. This is really hard to pull off but this place does it beautifully and it makes for a good experience.

9. Los Angeles Dodgers (Dodger Stadium)
The Good... The Dodgers are one of the most historically significant teams in all of baseball, and it's hard not to realize that when games are played in the well known Dodger Stadium. A lot of great players have been Dodgers throughout the team's history and a lot of big moments have taken place in their stadium. It's one of the few places in baseball that can really be considered historically significant to the fabric of Major League Baseball.
And the Bad... While there are many real Dodger fans out there, there are a lot of people that go who really don't give a damn about the team. Many of these people leave early during the game with only the true fans sticking until the end. It is kind of sad to see a stadium that starts out impressively full empty out to a stadium that is 3/4th full by the end even for a closely contested game. If only the real fans went to the games and not the dreaded pretenders.
Distinctions: RUNNER-UP: Unexplainably Good Vibes

8. St. Louis Cardinals (Busch Stadium)
The Good... The city of St. Louis can be seen in full view from anywhere while watching a baseball game at Busch Stadium. Other views I've experienced could only be seen from the upper deck, but here, it's all over, and the view is spectacular. The iconic Arch is centered perfectly in the middle reminding you that you're in St. Louis no matter where you look. The rest of the stadium is pretty nice too.. very nice and clean.
And the Better... The Cardinals fans are some of the most dedicated in all of baseball. Even when it is low 50s and there is a persistent rain coming down during an early season day game against a bad team, most of the fans still show up. It was an impressive display of their dedication by having a solid atmosphere even in terrible conditions, so I'm sure that when it is nice out, it would be even more impressive.

The Good... The stadium itself in Pittsburgh is the definition of beauty. Located by all three of the major Pittsburgh rivers, the bridges and the heart of downtown are in full view wherever you look. Pittsburgh is a surprisingly pretty town, and the view you get when watching a game here captures the essence of the city itself perfectly.
And the Better... The Pirates fans are some of the longest suffering fans in all of baseball. They have endured 16 straight losing seasons. Even with that said, they still come out and fully support their team as if they had 16 straight winning seasons.. they excitingly cheer big plays and never give up hope even if they fall in a deficit. It's incredible to see a fan base that has seen so much losing still supporting their team.

The Good... Safeco Field is a stadium that perfectly fits into the city it calls home. The entire style of the place fit into the decor of the area with the same color schemes and everything else going along with the mood of the city. It also has a really nice inside and is an overall quality place to see a baseball game.
And the Better... The fans of the Mariners are outstanding. In a year that was greatly disappointing for the team, the fans still came out and fully supported their Mariners, even when the opponent was a horrible team (like their own). Even with a large initial deficit, the fans still cheered their hearts out wanting a victory and not giving up, while a lesser fan base surely would.

5. San Diego Padres (Petco Park)
The Good... The Padres have a surprisingly strong fan base. They produced a sellout crowd even for a meaningless mid-summer game while their team struggles in last place. Watching a game in front of a packed house gives a whole different feel to the game, and when sellout crowds are seemingly commonplace for the city of San Diego, you can surely always expect a good time at a game here.
And the Better... Even though Petco Park is a new stadium that hasn't had the chance to accumulate a rich history, it makes up for it by being an incredibly unique stadium. Most stadiums don't really fit in with the city and are just these separate objects, but here, you can't say that in the slightest. Many different architectural choices were made to blend the stadium seamlessly with the surrounding blocks of the city so that you almost forget you are in the stadium boundary. It makes for a very charming experience that you can't feel anywhere else.

4. Philadelphia Phillies (Citizens Bank Park)
The Good... The Phillies fans are some of the best in all of baseball as they created a mind blowingly incredible atmosphere. The Phillies saw an early seven run deficit through four innings but the fans still believed they could win.. they remained incredibly loud and were not deflated. When things got interesting on their way to comeback victory, the atmosphere was absolute mayhem. Even the smallest of good plays led to high fives with complete strangers. It's impossible not to be brought into the excitement of the game with fans like them.
And the Bad... The charm factor to this place is next to nonexistent, and it most definitely should have something. The Phillies are one of the oldest teams in all of Major League Baseball, but you could not tell when going to their very ordinary stadium. The place was very cookie cutter and it felt like seeing some expansion team instead of a team with a 125 year history. It really is a shame because if this place had its history readily apparent it could be the best in all of baseball because of the incredible fans that fill the seats.

3. New York Yankees (Yankee Stadium)
The Good... The stadium the Yankees call home is by far the most historic place in all of baseball. 26 World Championships have been won here and many of baseball's all time greats have donned the Yankee pinstripes throughout the team's 107 year history. Baseball has always kind of revolved around the Yankees, and the mystique of Yankee Stadium plays a large part in that.
And the Bad... The Yankees are unforgivably tearing down their old stadium in favor of a new state-of-the-art one. Because of this, the old Yankee Stadium has become must-see for the millions of Yankee/baseball fans around the country and these out-of-state Yankee/baseball fans far outweigh the local Yankee fans who make up the spirit of the Stadium. The atmosphere is kind of killed this year because of this (and I know it usually is top-notch.. I went to two games last year and there was more of the New York spirit present with less of the pretenders filling up the stands).

The Good... The Cubs fans are some of the most dedicated fans you will ever see. This team hasn't won in 100 years, but by looking at the turnout they get, you would never think otherwise. These fans have never-ending hope who always believe that this will be their year, no matter what. They are also incredibly knowledgeable and their excitement towards the game easily bring you in to the point where a non-fan wants the Cubs to win just as much as they do.
And the Better... The Cubs provide the most authentic and charming experience in all of baseball. It has to do with Wrigley Field. This place has remained unchanged for its entire existence. There is no video board or modern amenities that you see everywhere else.. it's the way it was since day one. It's simply baseball, and nothing more.

1. Boston Red Sox (Fenway Park)
The Good... The Red Sox call the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball home.. Fenway Park. This place is one of the most revered stadiums in all of sports and simply being within its walls and seeing the incredibly famous field is worth the price of admission alone. It is one of the few places that truly gives you chills while just being there.. it's everything that is good in the world of baseball.
And the Better... The Red Sox Nation atmosphere is absolutely remarkable. Chants spring up organically and are not forced by the queue of some stadium jingle or the request of the big board. They never give up and go 100% in their support of the team.. through thick and thin. The atmosphere is so strong that even somebody who hates the Red Sox will find it hard not to be doing the chants by the end of the game. I can confidently say that these fans are the best in all of baseball and watching a game with them is the best thing any true fan of baseball can ever do.
