Some comments...

 

Now I am not one of those people that have traveled the country going to all the stadiums, but just got back from Denver.

 

Coors field is nice...The best thing is that they dug down so you walk off the street onto the main concourse. No escalators required...

 

2nd...How The cell scored lower the Coors on seats and food is beyond me. We had 3rd base side box seats 21st row up (Beyond 3rd base about halfway to the outfield wall). They cost $31 per ticket. At the Cell you pay $29 for these tickets(And other then club seats $29 is the most expensive seat in the Cell) Close to the infield is more expensive at Coors. The seats are very narrow (airplane seats) so my right arm was kept behind the seat the whole game. Upper deck looks as steep as the Cell. Food costs were nuts...Hot Dog cost $6.25 and a beer was $4.75. Yet Coors gets the following scores:

Ticket Price/Availability/location scores 3 and the Cell gets 1.5

Hot Dogs scores 5 for both although Best Kosher at the Cell is about $2 less and better tasting

Seat Comfort both score 4

 

Wrigley is still a dump in my mind (I grew up on the North Side in Rogers Park and took the L to both Comiskey and Wrigley all summer as a kid)...

Ticket Price/Availabilty/location gets this a 4...Amazing with all the obstructed view (Not seats directly behind the polls...If you are behind a poll period some part of the park is blocked...Not to mention the upper deck blocks the view of where fly balls go. Not to mention how much more expensive tickets cost at Wrigley. Funny no mention how the concourse at Wrigley always smells like piss.

Pro Player Stadium is ahead of the Cell! WTF is that s***! Pro Player is the home of the frickin' Dolphins and Marlins. Thats is a hideous ballpark! Also, BankOne Ballpark in Arizona is an underrated park. That stadium is beautiful. Kauffman Stadium is also WAAAAY overrated. There arent even any bkeacher seats! Just a bunch of rocks with watter falling down them! Last but not least, Wrigley Field is the biggest urinal, I mean dump, in the bigs!
