[@forgottenplaces9780]

*One correction, the Phillies Stadium is Citizens Bank Park not Century link, my mistake.

[@chrisaustin9949]

I really like these videos but I find one thing difficult. I have not got the sponsors for the stadiums and hence the teams that play there memorized. It is a pain to have to keep pausing the video to remind myself which team plays at each stadium. Please say the team name after the stadium name.

[@rustyshackleford5104]

PNC Park, on fireworks night, they launch from a barge on the river, and the fireworks reflect off the buildings. It's amazing.

[@adellis24]

I feel like you undercut the Rogers Centre because if you look up you see the CN Tower looming over the field which makes for an epic Toronto view.

[@watson956]

He also used an old photo. They've done a lot of renovating there in the past 2 years.

[@mrmoorman]

Agreed! It's really a pretty great view.

[@tylerbrunton7696]

I really expected a mention of the CN tower, it kind of dominates the sky.

[@67marlins]

Excellent mini-docemtary....and as the only San Francisco Giants fan living in Massachusetts...I love your ranking of Oracle!!!! Joe Buck once said during a playoff game, the Giants home stadium is the only place where the-worse-your-seat...the better your view!!

[@johnnyboy55]

Phillies play at Citizens Bank Park.

[@imlost19]

Shitizens Bank Park*

[@tyfarnsworth3176]

No it’s Century Link. He said so in the video.

[@blackoutpg3d211]

@@tyfarnsworth3176just cause he said so in the video doesn’t mean that it’s correct he even made a comment that said he mistakened and meant citizens bank park

[@tyfarnsworth3176]

@@blackoutpg3d211 no but he said so in the video

[@michaelsuzio4268]

I went to a citizens bank game possibly the year it opened I definitely went to the old Phillies stadium and saw Randy Johnson pitch from right behind home plate it felt like was an umpire that's how close to the field it Was

[@alk61695]

At the Rogers Centre you also have a nice view of the CN Tower when the roof is open down the right field line.

[@jordanhernly1285]

Love seeing Comerica high up there, very underrated view, really feels like your in the heart of the city

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

I can't remember the last time they opened up Minute Maid - never seen it open fully. Actually looks awesome opened up.

[@jjhebert2240]

It’s is awesome when opened up. I was able to time it out one time.

[@TyMcClassy]

Coors field deserves to be higher. If you sit in the right field seats or outfield seats you have an amazing view of the rocky mountains

[@chaost4544]

Watching this rundown makes me appreciate the effort MLB franchises have made in trying to go away from the multipurpose stadium and embrace a classical modern design. MLB stadium design is a lot better now than when I was a kid. Many of those stadiums, Old Busch Stadium in particular, were pretty bad looking.

[@user-pu2cj3no5f]

Busch 2 was beautiful.

[@dopenerd]

I’m a Giants fan and when they picked the location back in the late 90’s I knew this was gonna be a special place for a park.

[@Don-n6o]

It’s about time Comerica Park got a positive rating in these ball park videos. Terrific view of the now improved Detroit skyline with the new Hudson’s Tower dead center over the right field wall.

[@gavinsheridan4680]

This is a cool idea. Good video. Pittsburgh & San Fran, its like … would you prefer a cityscape or a natural vista?

[@MrManfly]

Petco is the most beautiful stadium in the league and PNC has the best view with the skyline and bridge right there!!! ❤

[@downskated]

PNC is number 1, with the bridge and the skyline looming above you, it's the best view in baseball especially at night. Then you have Busch a close second. And a close Third is the Giants ballpark, the bay view is great during day games, but loses out because once the sunsets you lose the best selling point to a black void.

[@SFbayArea94121]

No way. You drank too much Busch bud. Seek help lulz

[@downskated]

@SFbayArea94121 Don't accuse of such degeneracy, I have more self respect than to sink to such levels. It's more like I've eaten of the Pittsburgh golden nectar, The Primanti Bros sandwich. Besides the San Francisco Bay isn't that pretty, the Outer Banks have you beat, much less the Chesapeake Bay and Norfolk sound.

[@liguy181]

One thing missed about Citi Field is that you get to regularly see planes taking off from LaGuardia. Adds a lot to the game day atmosphere, I always enjoyed that as a kid too

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Identical top 3 haha - had Pittsburgh no. 2 and St Louis no. 3. San Francisco will always be top :-) Been to the higher decks and nothing beats it in most sports let alone MLB. Only downside is the cold weather in summer (compared to the rest of the country) although blame that on San Francisco rather than the stadium (Wellington, NZ has the same issues).

[@MiggerPlease]

The best part is the homosexuals

[@ymcairedellbball]

Great rundown. Agree with all your rankings. Sorry my Busch Stadium didn't get #1, but I agree that PNC and Oracle are better. One nitpicky note: "unique' is not a relative term, meaning it can't be paired with words like "really" or other qualifying adjective. Something that is unique is one of a kind, the only one. A prototype is unique because it's the only one. Mt. Rushmore is unique because it the only rock face with four president faces. Seattle's stadium is unique because, as you pointed out, it's the only retractable dome stadium with permanently open sides. Does that makes sense? Sorry to go on a mini rant. It's just a pet peeve.

[@stevebaynham4148]

So much to see at comerica park...a beautiful facility...

[@firebird6522]

I'm going there next week. Hope to get some good views!

[@zlinedavid]

Great American Ballpark at 11….I’m pleasantly surprised. I was just hoping for somewhere above 20.

[@jjhebert2240]

Superbly done. I have been to all the parks in person and after I caught on to what you was doing I was greatly impressed!

[@adamfreisem385]

Coors Field is easily top 5 (for the views and the park, not the team)

[@adamsmith583]

Man I love these videos. Ty

[@Mr.E723]

If it already existed (assuming it does get built) where would you rank the proposed new White Sox ballpark on this list?

[@paulj6756]

I hope that new ballpark doesn't get built. Guaranteed Rate Field is only 30 years old. The White Sox don't need a new ballpark.

[@godschild4988]

If they recreated "Comisky Park" I would love it.

[@jayp.6166]

One of the many reasons I love baseball is because of the ballparks. Other than the infield dimensions and a couple other minor regulations, teams basically have free range to design their park however they want. I’m a sucker for ballpark quirks. The weirder the better

[@williammcnulty4031]

I think PNC is the best and target field should be top 5 but I agree with most of them

[@miked.336]

As a former mlb player for 7 years, I always loved hitting at Oracle.

[@ilovetotri23]

I thought I had been to the best stadiums. I am glad to see I have some work to do! Not a ton, but enough to keep my enjoying MLB games outside with great views. Thanks.

[@dakotalaynen6711]

I love that you always say, “Thank you for watching.” Classy!

[@michaelengelhardt5336]

Respectfully disagree putting Nats Park and Coors field so low. Nats park if you sit in the upper deck down the first base line you get a great view of the US Capital building. Coors Field upper Deck gives great views of the mountains and if the games going on at the right time, can get a beautiful view of the sun setting behind the mountains

[@loganb.1984]

I genuinely cannot understand why Pittsburgh would not be number one.

[@lionsfan7500]

Really cool video! I've been to 3 stadiums and want to get to all of them. Of course living in Detroit I've been to Comerica Park countless times and I grew up going to old Tiger Stadium. I've been to Progressive Field and I love that ballpark. Yes they did botch up right field but it's still a great Stadium. I've been to old Cleveland Municipal Stadium and even though it was old and dumpy it had character. Finally I've been to Great American Ballpark on Cincinnati and I loved that ballpark too. I also have been to the old Riverfront Stadium for both football and baseball and it was a dump both! Back in the 90s my friends and I drove down to Cincinnati from Detroit to see the Miami Dolphins play the Bengals and it was a chance for us to see Dan Marino and Coach Don Shula. As we're walking around the concourse of Riverfront we saw a rat run by us lol. Still it was a fun day and weekend spending it in the Queen City.

[@jimmybananahamok6903]

Marlins need to put the home run thing back inside the stadium.

[@danielbowden6330]

I totally agree with your top 10.

[@firebird6522]

Based solely on the photo you showed, St. Louis looks like the best. I've only been past Busch Stadium on the freeway once. Thanks to that pic, I sure hope someday I can stop by and catch a game, or at least a tour.

[@deco983]

Nice!

[@tastyneck]

Good rankings.

[@moonytheloony6516]

I don't get how Coors Field doesn't have much to see, especially with a large mountain range out there which is quite amazing to see from the upper deck of the stadium. It's a well-documented view that's part of the appeal of Coor's Field. The other thing that seemed a bit odd to me was the acknowledgment of the backdrop of Kauffman Stadium and yet the Dodger Stadium view was dismissed. Both have a view of green rolling hills which is a shared dynamic. Scoreboards, in my opinion, shouldn't factor into a panoramic setting...because every stadium has a scoreboard, it's a redundant dynamic. What is beyond the scoreboard is the view. Scoreboards/Video boards should have their own separate review.

[@kurolap7882]

rogers center = CN tower when the roof is open + new renovations

[@ryanmeech8630]

Being from Boston, I disagree with the ranking of Fenway. The view in real life is vastly better than how it appears if you just look at images online. The signs you can see when someone hits a home run over the Monster are iconic, and Green Monster itself is a sight to behold, breathlessly. And some of the view is unseen, even. Everybody there knows that out-of-the-park home runs are breaking windows in a parking lot across the street, or getting caught by kids on the street. Just because you can't SEE the view from photos doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[@MachoManMaury]

#29, I'll take it! Lets go Oakland!

[@SFbayArea94121]

The worst place. Ugh I can’t stand that place

[@2bmc.]

Chase with roof and panels open actually has some decent views of the desert landscape in the upper decks.

[@blakem9802]

Coors field at 19 is horrendous

[@pesky716]

Target Field below Progressive and Comerica is insanity.

[@pauldavis1943]

Hey chucklehead, A view of downtown Seattle, Puget Sound , or Mt Rainier doesn't get a top ten place? Really!

[@SFbayArea94121]

Pungent sound. No way

[@Not_Sal]

It doesn’t look like Citi field has a good view, but on the upper levels you can see the Flushing skyline and Whitestone Bridge. Of course they’re still far away. If you really want a good NYC view go to the side facing left side of the stadium or behind home plate to the upper level and watch look through the fence up top. The staircases on that side have a good view as well. Especially during sunset.

[@hamburglar83]

St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago wrigley top 3. Wrigley rooftops are amazing, st Luis has the arch and Pittsburgh has by far the best views.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

PNC and Petco are my top 2.

[@NinjaBenjamin1974]

Curious, what would you have ranked Shea?

[@evermar1]

Good video, but I would have Dodger stadium much higher on the list

[@MofongoMondongo]

Not MLB, but Staten Island University Hospital Community Park has a great view of the Manhattan skyline.

[@user-kl1tb4er7j]

I’m a Giants fan and I knew Oracle Park would be high on the list. I thought my fandom made me too biased towards it and it wouldn’t be number one. Looking at the list, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t deserve.

[@admirals818]

I think my most disappointing view is Coors Field. Downtown in one direction, the majestic Rocky Mountains in another, and the view towards center field features neither.

[@SFbayArea94121]

I noticed that too looking at a map once. They literally rotated it into the worst possible view out of any of the other choices they had. Could have had the city skyline backdrop or mountains. NOPE

[@rhphoenix5]

Superb video, but You did forget to mention with the rogers center that its an amazing view of the CN Tower when you look up. Would have bumped it up at least a couple of spots

[@yst8831]

I like Pacific Bell Park, don't want to call Oracle Park.

[@loveandrockets4life]

4:24 I live in KC and this is too high. The water spectacular and crownvision are great...but the backdrop of I-70, the FCA building and a bunch of vacant and decaying infrastructure around the stadium is NOT great.

[@jgon9]

Disagree with Rogers Centre being so low, you have the CN Tower above.

[@sportspokerguy3506]

Breaking News: PNC park threatens to leave Pittsburgh after the Pirates finish 4th in the Central for a 35th straight year!

[@vjhernandez13]

Suggestion: List the team and city for the stadium being shown. I'm only a casual baseball fan and couldn't recognize all of the stadiums. It also future proofs your video when the stadium eventually changes its name for a new sponsor! Great job otherwise!

[@jordane19969]

Pnc should easily be number one in my opinion. I would put the twins over the guardians, cubs, and tigers

[@jwosh]

Dawg Minute Maid park over dodger stadium and Coffman stadium and truest park

[@frankisfunny2007]

I feel like OPACY would be jn the top 2 if they just get rid of the Hilton.

[@stevenundisclosed6091]

Switch 1 and 2

[@firebird6522]

Fenway and Wrigley are way too high. Both belong below Dodger Stadium (and no, I'm not a Dodger fan in any way, shape or form).

[@UserName0043]

PNC Park is easily number 1

[@UntitledKirk]

You put a lot of effort into your videos; here, have a sub.

[@GeeEm1313]

Camden Yards was better before they put that silly Hilton hotel in.

[@user-zv2rz5cd2s]

lol U put Chicago white Sox better then Mets ur take on this is pretty bad

[@mdx799]

Few incorrect stadium names and I think you literally missed miller park (Edit) You did catch miller park but you also disgraced it. There’s no reason in the world that safeco field should be ranked above miller park also with zero view and a retractable roof that isn’t as complex and amusing as milwaukees. Foul and undereducated opinion on the ballpark of Milwaukee

[@easterislandstatue4059]

Oracle park is my favorite by far. Not only are the views amazing but the stadium itself is awesome and very well kept. Food areas are clean and it is easy to navigate. Not a bad seat in that stadium either.

[@Truckngirl]

Wha? Why do they need architecture details? Pay attention to the game!

[@zlinedavid]

It’s baseball….there’s plenty of downtime with the time between innings, pitching changes, etc. Nice to have something to look at when the game isn’t going on.

[@cliffpadilla5871]

It's Citidump, not Citifield.

They're redevoloping Willets Point (the neighborhood next for Citi Field) into a new commercial and residential area, including a new stadium for New York City FC. All the chopshops that used to be there are gone now.
