    Well seeing as the baseball strike was averted, I have decided to come up with this thread. Which Major League ballparks have you been too? Which have been the most enjoyable and why? List your pros, cons, and anything else u want here. Here's mine:
    -----------------------
    Astrodome - Houston Astros

    Pros:I used to love the old caged in atmosphere, with the dome so high and mighty, the center field so rounded and the screen so wide. Those were the days.


    Cons:Those high, high, high seats where if you dropped your drink in the 7th inning, you'd still find it fallin in the bottom of the 8th.
    ------------------------

    Enron Field (I never went to this "Minuite Maid Park") - Houston Astros

    Pros:The close left field wall, the retractable-roof, the train, and the center-field hill.

    Cons:Center field is waaay to big, I don't like the left-center rock formations, brick wall with caverns. I think that could've been good seating space.

    -----------------
    Wrigley Field - Chicago Cubs

    Pros:GREAT, I said I said GREAT ballpark. You definately must check it out if your ever in Chi-Town. I went there the other night and had pretty damn good seating. I was about 110 rows up but I could still read the names of players backs and could hear the crack of the bat as if it were right next to me. Very family,friendly, cozy-like atmosphere. Beautiful weather is definately a plus. When they say the "Friendly Confines Of Wrigley Field" they ain't lying.


    Cons:I don't like the new screens they put up for people on the outside not to watch in. And, I think that they should put up a BIG tv screen. But hey, that's just me.

    ------------------------

    Busch Stadium - St.Louis Cardinals

    Not much to say here, I just saw it from above and from the outside when I was in the Gateway Arch in St.Louis. Looks big but too rounded and caged in for me. It has an open roof and you can't hit the ball out of the ballpark. What kinda ballpark is that?!??
