Went to a Diamondbacks game when I was a kid. Got bored and left by like the 6th inning. I've watched an entire Serena Williams tennis match. I've watched an entire high school women's volleyball game (is that what their called...games?). Baseball is sleep inducing. Maybe it would have been tolerable if I could drink back then but shyt...if you have to be drunk to enjoy the sport then you didnt come for the sport in the first place.

Fenway >>>>>>

But $6 for a bottle of water :rudy: $8 a beer, 4.50 for a hot dog? :wtf:

but being at Fenway Park is like sacred ground, the field is soooo crispy :ohlawd:

thousand times better than watching at home, the atmosphere is pretty dope too

Fenway is :ehh:
Maybe because I didn't get Green Monster seats.
The little area around the park seems cool.

Crispness
Baseball is the best sport to watch live imo.

Like somebody else said, it's the most chill.

Food on hit, broads be there, they have chit there to fill in dead spaces unlike the other sports. Also, they play it in the good weather seasons, so you rarely sit there freezing your ass off or in snow. I'm sure i'd like it even better if the local team didn't suck (but we'll see this year!)...

at&t park :blessed:

So which baseball stadium has the best eats?We surveyed experts, including league officials, restaurateurs (Danny Meyer), chefs (including stadium supplier Aramark’s Ed Lake), and super-fans like Kevin Reichard, publisher of the go-to stadium news website BallparkDigest.com, and everyone agrees: AT&T Park in San Francisco is the champion of stadium food. “It’s got an amazing variety of local gourmet foods,” says Reichard, who’s visited every major ballpark in America. “Even the hot dogs are outstanding.” Among his favorites are the fresh Dungeness crab sandwich served on garlic butter–brushed sourdough, and Palo Alto’s own Gordon Biersch garlic fries made with fresh garlic and parsley. Meyer agrees: “AT&T Park propelled stadium food to the next level.”

getting drunk before the game, then going in and heckling the shyt out of other team's players and staff :blessed:


wrigley field has a dope college type atmosphere outside the park, lots of bars and places to eat. even tho inside the park it's perpetual failure. :flabbynsick:

is the smell of the stadium :ahh: it's like heaven for nostrils. other sports arena i've been to aint never smell so good.

Uh, I would disagree. Expos Stadium (where the now defunct Montreal Expos played), smelled like Canadian hot dogs, Canadian peanuts and even Canadian Cracker Jacks. Totally un-American. It didn't smell like, say Fenway Park or Camden Yards.

A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
It's all relative. In person, NBA and NHL are the most action packed. Fast running/skating, up and down the court, gets tense as the clock winds down, done in 2:15-2:30.

NFL is basally best when either tailgating or hanging out in your living room with friends and food and big screens. Ultimate TV viewing.

Baseball it entirely it's own thing. The pace, the precision of each pitch/swing/steal attempt, path to fly ball, double play etc. In a good game its like a slow building wave.

When the Red Sox won the world series in 2004, the 5th inning on in game 4 in St. Louis was like watching some Alfred Hitchcock movie. Slow build, stress, pressure, breath holding.

When Foulke caught the hit back to the mound, the entire place exploded like thousands of people were shot out of a cannon.

It's like nothing I've ever experienced in sports.

Fenway is something different though.

The new pieces they added can definitely give you something comfortable more in line with the new parks, but those old ass 100 year old wooden seats that people barely fit in, poles with bad sight-lines, concrete?? It's just so different.

If you went to nothing but newer stadiums, liked baseball and then went to Fenway, it's just fukking dope. SOOOOO little foul territory, its like your right on the field. It's just a little band box that gets loud as hell.

10 + games a year though, your jonesing to sit up on the monster or in Right field with new bar, just so you can stretch your damn legs.

Smelled like dirty french people and poutine is at least believable...
