    Five Favorite Ballparks in MLB 14 The Show


    Being a huge baseball fan I have trekked across the country trying to get to as many ballparks as possible. For me, one of the attractions of baseball, aside for the game itself, are the epic cathedrals in which these teams play. There is something magical about walking through the turnstile(s), making your way up the ramp or stairs, and seeing the inside of the park for the first time. Taking in the colors, sounds, ambiance, and architecture, creates an almost euphoric adrenaline for fans, and feelings that are difficult to replicate.

      ugh I think Marlins Parks is absolutely hideous. I agree with the rest of your list though.

        It's funny how Marlins Park is so damn polarizing. People tend to really love it, or simply hate it. Citi Field is another park like that -

            Taking aesthetics completely out of the equation, the 5 stadia I enjoy playing at the most have to do with ballplay in the outfield.
            1- Reds Great American Park
            2- Cubs Wrigley Field
            3- Astros Minute Maid Park
            4- Orioles Camden Park
            5a- Rockies Coors Field
            5b- Red Sox Fenway Park

            This is just taking into account the MLB teams current stadiums, I'd prefer all stadiums to have drastically different dimensions like the classics Polo Ground and the like.
            T-BONE.

            Talking about things nobody cares.

                Not going to make a list, but I've always liked Kauffman Stadium in KC. One of my all time favorites.

                  Being a Padres fan I have to say love Petco. Smack dab right in the middle of downtown and has the western metal supply co. building down left outfield.

                    Most of my favorites are not on the East Coast, since East Coast games are constantly broadcast on television. I tend to enjoy playing the smaller market fields. That said, there's no denying Fenway.

                    1.AT&T
                    2. Target Field
                    3. PNC
                    4. Houston (fun to hit in)
                    5. Fenway

                      Oh, man. I missed Petco. So underrated.

                        Not to be picky, but it's actually in the southernmost part of downtown. Not to worry though, it's the best area of downtown SD anyway.

                        In this game, my top five list would not be exactly the same as my real life list. I think there are faulty pieces of AT&T Park in this game that detract from its beauty, though it looks like the PS4 version got [only slightly] closer. Chase Field is very poorly represented in this game IMO.

                        On the other hand, I love Coors Field in this game. Oh, and Yankee Stadium.

                              With all the new stadiums built its hard to pick a top 5. I've been fortunate to have seen every park in the majors with the exception of Petco and Target ,(when I visited those towns in 03 and 07 it was Qualcomm and the Metrodome). And from a distance they look good. With that said my top 5
                              1. PNC Park.. that downtown cityscape explodes on you when you go into the park.
                              2. Wrigley...every game is a massive block party then you can get mesmerized watching the ivy do the wave on a breezy day
                              3.AT&T..gorgeous.
                              4.Camden Yards...the 1st retro park and still a gem.
                              5.Fenway...classic
                              3 Honorable mentions...The Jake(Progressive),,,Safeco ,,,, Philly.
