So glad that you think so highly of PNC park. It is a fabulous place to watch a game and is the only stadium in MLB that only has two levels. Yes, the views of downtown and the Clemente Bridge are wonderful. I love the fact that out past center field they have a statue of Clemente and out past the left field line of the stadium they have a statue of Stargell but the one I love the most is outside the stadium, in front of home plate and it is a statue of Honus Wagner. This is just one of the real winners in all of sports.
Petco park also has the San Diego Convention Center across the street. Home of the original Comic-Con. Parking on game day downtown sucks, but has a great trolley system to and from games.
The cool thing about T-Mobile Park is that the roof is actually a canopy that floats above the stadium on separate infrastructure built on top of the walls, and not an enclosure, so even when it's closed, it's still considered an outdoor park, and it feels like it. Also, I think Nationals Park is at least an honorable mention when you consider location, team, fans, and actual features inside the stadium.
Excellent video. I’ve been to 16 ballparks so far. I’d rank my top 5 like this (keeping in mind PNC and Camden Yards are still on the to do list). 1 Fenway and Wrigley tied. I can’t choose between these two but they’re clearly the best fan experience you’ll get. 3. Oracle Park. 4. Coors Field. 5. Yankee Stadium. Honorable mention: Oakland County Colesium - Best fans
Glad to hear the Petco shoutout. Longtime bay area resident so I appreciate the giants and A’s in their own light but there’s something special about an 80 degree night game in SD after the beach and tacos and the gaslamp. I go to SD basically once every other year to catch a Padres game and experience the city.
I would replace Fenway with Wrigley. Those Fenway Park seats were the most uncomfortable seats I ever sat in my life. Wrigleyville presents a better game day atmosphere as well. Coors Field in Denver is high on my list as well. Right in the LoDo district with the Rocky Mountains as the back drop. Kauffmann Stadium where the Royals play is a really nice park for it being one of the older ones.
I have to agree with you, and disclaimer I am a Rockies fan, but that’s not why Coors is in my top 5. It’s 27 years old now, one of the oldest parks in all of MLB all of a sudden, but it always feels new, and it totally transformed LoDo from a drug addict/ homeless haven to some of the most precious real estate. I don’t live there anymore but I watch about 80 games a season. When they play in Denver I miss the city, the mountains, and the huge clouds. Also the 30min afternoon thunderstorms in the summer that go away and with the sun shining you get that great rain smell. I’ve been to a few games at Kauffman Stadium as one of my good childhood friends lives in Kansas City. I’ve been to multiple games before the renovation and after. The renovation made it feel a lot newer and up to speed but I wish they would have brought the walls in like 25ft. It’s a pitcher’s paradise and where home runs go to die. Some people love pitching duels, and while I like the occasional one, I like to see games of power display. What Perez accomplished last season almost hitting 50 bombs there is almost legendary.
The facination with Fenway is confounding. Aside from the usual "it's historic" To which I say big deal. Bad sight lines. Uncomfortable seats. Completely uninspired concessions. Stupidly expensive. The structural columns in the way. Dirty. Replace the damn thing!!!!!
Meh Dodger stadium and Wrigley suck tho. Never been to Fenway but I'd assume it's the same as Wrigley. Yea it's cool and historic but the amenities, seating, views etc suck big time. Places like Petco and oracle and leagues ahead in terms of experience in the park.
I went to Wrigley in 2013 and I thought it was a dump. The concourses were dungeons, the seats were not that great. Camden Yards to me is the gold standard.
#1 is always Dodger Stadium for me, I have only been to 8 stadiums though. Busch in St. Louis is gorgeous. Citi Field in Flushing is pretty awesome also. Oakland never gets any love, haha.
@@ldfreitas9437right I'm a so cal resident now living in sf. Dodger stadium is horrible, not even comparable to petco, oracle or even angel stadium. Never got why people like dodger stadium just like Wrigley. Yea they are old and historic but other than that they suck.
@@4touchdowns1game29yeah dodger stadium sucks. Definitely the worst ball park in the NL West. They have some good ones! Petco, Oracle, and Coors are awesome! Chase field gets a bad wrap but it’s super nice!
I’ve been to 25 ballparks through 2021 and this is almost my exact top 5. Mine goes in order Pittsburgh, San Diego, Baltimore, Boston, and Chicago (NL). I haven’t been to San Francisco yet, but I have a feeling it will crack the top 3 once I do visit.
I live in Phoenix now. But PNC Park will always be my favorite. And it’s not just because I’m originally from Western Pennsylvania. Now if Bob Nutting would invest in making the Pirates great again.
That list would be fairly inline with mine, though I have yet to visit Padres or Orioles parks yet. I would throw in an honorable mention for the Tiger's stadium. I was surprisingly impressed with it.
Just don’t take the Civic Center station to get home, and if you do for the love of god don’t pull out cash at the atm after a night game. You’re a block for the tenderloin, people have been killed over a $5 crack rock. Just board at Montgomery, it’s a straight shot up 3rd to Market.
Kezar Stadium, the 49ers old home, was also in a neighborhood in San Francisco. Hardly any parking, yet 60,000 could fill the place when the 49ers had great teams and great rivals, especially in the 1950s. Still there, redone to hold 10,000 for mostly high school football.
And would remain as hard to hit at as the day it opened. Before they started building skyscrapers around Petco that block the ocean air, it was virtually impossible to hit home runs at Petco.
I've never been to a better ballpark than Fenway... But you are right about the seats. Oldest in the league and I have to say that the right field grandstand may be the worst section in baseball as far as the actual seating and view. (I've been in much worse sections as far as total experience is concerned...I'm lookin' at you, Dodger Stadium bleachers...and as a Red Sox fan, I feared for my life more than once in the old Yankee Stadium upper tiers!)
It’s definitely worth it if you can make it. I lived in SF for almost 7 years working in tech. I would always go to games when my team was playing (The Rockies), it’s a great experience and has great food! The crab sandwich using garlic bread is a real treat. I just wouldn’t go there wearing any Dodgers gear, and if you are a Dodgers fan keep it to yourself. I’ve seen a lot of drunk fights breakout.
We saw a Royals' game at Kauffman Stadium. Great place to see a game. You can still tailgate in the massive parking lot and the fountians in the outfield set it apart. Petco in San Diego is also a top-tier baseball venue with lots of character.
Wrigley field is next to several streetcar lines. You don't need a car to get there. But they ruined a perfectly good Statler Bros song "When they turn on the lights in Wrigley field, I'll be coming back to you.
In terms of beauty san francisco or san diego are my top stadium. In terms of historical greatness, fenway is my go to. For a century old stadium, it has a such a modern feel to it still, especially on TV. Absolutely beautiful for its age. In terms of the overall package, dodgers stadium has to be #1, especially due to the crowds. Anyone who says baseball is dying needs to simply attend a dodgers game. The largest capacity stadium, and for good measure, the largest attendance annually. Even when a last place team with no star power is visiting, you can expect 40k to 50k. That's more fans than most teams can expect with the Yankees visiting their stadium. An average dodgers crowd packs Tropicana field TWICE. what the dodgers draw on a Tuesday night, is what alot of teams struggle to draw during a whole week of home stand... those crowds and that massive stadium make you feel like you're at THE event of the town. With the angels and Padres close by, southern California bleeds baseball.
you should do a Top NFL 5 stadiums: Packers Lambeau field, Vikings US bank stadium, Raiders Allegiant Stadium, Cowboys Att stadium, Rams chargers Sofi stadium just to name a few Wish the 49ers could do a complete makover and redesign their stadium and place it in mission bay, if the warriors didnt build chase center. Understand traffic would have been complete nightmare on sunday and mondays
I'm just barely into double figures in the # of parks I visited, so I can't really speak to all of them and, from people I know that have been to the parks on your list, seem to concur. I will say a couple of things about places from my life. A native Clevelander, I saw Jacobs right after it opened, then, not for a long time, but went to Progressive last year, and it hasn't aged a bit. I also lived in Tampa for a few years and could always get free and/or cheap tickets to Rays games and actually enjoyed the air-conditioned comfort and the relaxed atmosphere of not very avid fans. Now, the closest MLB to me is the Bay Area. Like going to Giants games, but practically have to take out mortgages to afford it.
Curious if you considered the food at all? If so, that would make sense why Petco Park is in there... some of the best stadium food there is around. Seafood, birria, and you can even get Din Tai Fung there which is insane.
There seems to be a very general consensus as to the top 10-12 parks (everyone orders them differently), then a middle class of rather generic stadiums, then the two terrible ones (Oakland and Tampa) usually at the bottom. Of the seven I have been to: 1. Coors 2. Petco 3. Great American 4. Kauffman 5. Dodgers Stadium 6. Chase Field 7. Oakland Coliseum Would like to go to: 1. Oracle 2. Wrigley 3. PNC
My top 5: 5. Camden Yards 4. PNC Park 3. Petco Park 2. Coors Field 1. Oracle Park Both Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are kinda overrated imo (still are located in 7th and 8th place respectively). Also, Dodger Stadium is WAY too overrated and is barely at top 15, though it is better than a lot of ballparks.
It may not be as old as Fenway or Wrigley but , Dodger stadium is the third oldest park in MLB. Wrigley lost a lot of its charm with me when they blocked the view from the roofs accross the street and , then built bleachers on the roofs.
When it comes down to best ballpark location hands down it has to be Petco Park. Right in the middle of downtown and plenty of parking and transit all the way to the stadium!!!
I think you can absolutely judge or give an opinion on ballparks you haven't been to; it happens all the time. There is enough information, pictures, videos, and virtual tours out there to do a pretty good job. Or, you can have two different categories, parks you been to list and your list of parks in general. Plus, it's not that serious, just have fun with it in making a list, and let your subscribers be the judge.
I thought based on your criteria for sure number one would be Wrigley Field. Have you not been there? It is a religious experience. The place is a church. It is absolutely hands down the best. I would agree with those who say Fenway as well. The choice between the two is whether you like something a bit more symmetrical or if you like the American or National league more. But for me there is no finer ballpark than Wrigley Field anywhere on the planet. It sits in a neighborhood; you've got to take the L to get there. It is great! I've been looking at the UK and there are some great stadiums there too. Anfield, Turf Moor, St. James Park, Craven Cottage. And in football I'd say Lambeau, LA Memorial Coliseum and the Rose bowl and for more modern Hard Rock. I like simple, real grass and something that speaks to the environment around the team and site. And your choice of PNC I am okay with because PNC does just as you laid out has all the pieces fitting nicely, the team, the setting, the simple design, the retro feel from Forbes Field. PNC is my second choice with Fenway my third choice. Number one is clearly Wrigley and I order you to go!
Been to wrigley many many many times 3 ways they draw n sell out 1. U jump the train from city n drops u right off nice n easy 2 its all neighborhood n these die hards in the neighborhoods go every day n night plus its very walkable 3 tons n tons of parking. U wont see parking lots like that but people rent out the driveways and lots all over the area
@@PrimarySweeper13 My team has one of the best ballparks in MLB and the owner has no intentions of winning. Plus he owns ski resorts where he treats his employees like crap! Any guesses?
Agree with Camden. Oracle Park needs to be further down the list because 1) Gnats and 2) it's a Camden cookie cutter ballpark. Fenway is great but it's an awful place to be wearing an A's jersey, surrounded by Massholes. Camden first, Wrigley second, T-Mobile in Seattle third, Petco fourth, and THEN Fenway for me. The Church of Baseball jumps to #1 if there are no Red Sox fans in it.
Been to 30 MLB parks.Missing new Rangers,SD,Angels and Dodger Stadium.My top five in order Fenway Park,Wrigley Field,PNC Park,SF and Seattle.Baltimore would be top five ahead of Seattle if the city werent such a dangerous,crime ridden hellhole.
No Oakland stadium at Jack London Square is going to top Oracle Park! No one needs to drive to a Giants game. There's Cal Train, ferries, the Muni, busses. NO need to drive there at all! And why does Brodie Brazil make such an issue about being able to drive to a game? There's not that many EVs on the road yet, and most cars are just blowing co2 out of their tail pipes, creating more global warming!
This is pretty much the same list that everyone else puts up. No surprises, no deviations, nothing different from any of the other countless lists out there already. What's the point? If you had said something like "Oh, I may be alone in this, but I loved the Reds stadium" or "I know everyone else loves PNC but I thought it sucked and here's why..." then I might have gotten something interesting and useful from this. As it is... well... it's essentially just a copy and paste.
Didn't they kick people out of their neighborhood to build this in a parking lot? And didn't they leave Brooklyn? Can never cheer for them and the NY Giants that play in SF. Sorry.
No, trust me. The Dodgers need a new stadium. I love Petco Park. You forgot to mention the little kid ball park they have in the outfield there. Kids play all game long. It's a beautiful park

How does SF get away with no parking? 1 word: BART
i'd argue MUNI + the ferry system are more important to them than bart is.
BART+MUNI+FERRY

thank you parker!
All three NL ballparks in Cali mentioned, Brodie’s like “AL Cali ballparks, step your game up!”
good point, didn't think about it that way! but for years with Candlestick & Jack Murphy,.. the NL west was hurting
I love Target Field!
Great list. I can’t argue with any of these.
You should have included Wrigley. It's a fabulous stadium. Reminds me of Oaks Park, home of the Oakland Oaks.
9:14
I think PETCO Park should have been turned to face San Diego Bay. Would have made for a better scenic view IMO.
probably couldn't due to sunlight/shadows.
And would remain as hard to hit at as the day it opened. Before they started building skyscrapers around Petco that block the ocean air, it was virtually impossible to hit home runs at Petco.
1)ebbets field
2) Connie Mack stadium
3)Tiger stadium

Hi Brodie,
What maps did you use in this video?
Like your uploads!
Greetings from Europe
using apple maps here. i believe i might have said "google earth" by mistake.
thanks for watching from so far away!
There seems to be a very general consensus as to the top 10-12 parks (everyone orders them differently), then a middle class of rather generic stadiums, then the two terrible ones (Oakland and Tampa) usually at the bottom.
Of the seven I have been to:
1. Coors
2. Petco
3. Great American
4. Kauffman
5. Dodgers Stadium
6. Chase Field
7. Oakland Coliseum
Would like to go to:
1. Oracle
2. Wrigley
3. PNC
My top 5:
5. Camden Yards
4. PNC Park
3. Petco Park
2. Coors Field
1. Oracle Park
Both Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are kinda overrated imo (still are located in 7th and 8th place respectively).
Also, Dodger Stadium is WAY too overrated and is barely at top 15, though it is better than a lot of ballparks.
Target Field is #1, Angel Stadium #2.
No it aint
That’s the most random irrelevant stadium
Absolutely not😂
Candlestick
What’s better PNC night or day?
It may not be as old as Fenway or Wrigley but , Dodger stadium is the third oldest park in MLB. Wrigley lost a lot of its charm with me when they blocked the view from the roofs accross the street and , then built bleachers on the roofs.
Dang you don’t have Kauffman stadium in KC
That’s a clean looking stadium
Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Not the fanciest, but it looks and feels like baseball, not an amusement center.
the backdrops of both parks are amazing
When it comes down to best ballpark location hands down it has to be Petco Park. Right in the middle of downtown and plenty of parking and transit all the way to the stadium!!!
How do you like your elgato streaming deck?
Absolutely love it! Have two. One for sounds another for video cuts
I’ve only been to six and St. Louis is my top ballpark it is a must as a baseball fan
Original is a loose term to these places . They've been added on over time. Even Wrigley's lower bowl have been completely renovated

The only thing i hate more than going to wrigley is leaving. Its brutal getting out of that area after a game.

How can you Not have Wrigley Not in the top 5 I have been to all Of them
Maybe not. But it is the MLB’s Last Dive Bar.
Minute made has always been my favorite park
Been to wrigley many many many times
3 ways they draw n sell out
1. U jump the train from city n drops u right off nice n easy
2 its all neighborhood n these die hards in the neighborhoods go every day n night plus its very walkable
3 tons n tons of parking. U wont see parking lots like that but people rent out the driveways and lots all over the area
Pittsburgh is the best. Bad team but great stadium.
#1: Oakland
I’m not sure but I think you may be a A’s fan not 100% sure what makes me think that
@@staciemohler4624 it’s a joke
Good joke
@@trumphatesyou thanks
@@PrimarySweeper13 My team has one of the best ballparks in MLB and the owner has no intentions of winning. Plus he owns ski resorts where he treats his employees like crap! Any guesses?
How some Oracle park is so much more comfortable than Candlestick - that everyone says had rough cold wind etc.?
Wrigley does not need parking. People use the red line to get to the park which is easier.
9:27 No longer they got rid of it, it's now a party deck..
Agree with Camden. Oracle Park needs to be further down the list because 1) Gnats and 2) it's a Camden cookie cutter ballpark. Fenway is great but it's an awful place to be wearing an A's jersey, surrounded by Massholes. Camden first, Wrigley second, T-Mobile in Seattle third, Petco fourth, and THEN Fenway for me. The Church of Baseball jumps to #1 if there are no Red Sox fans in it.
If you even consider mentioning the Oakland Collisium in this list you should be committed. Also, Las Vegas A`s sounds good doesn't it.
Not putting wrigley field in the top 5, especially after renovations, is unforgivable.
I've been to 2
Been to 30 MLB parks.Missing new Rangers,SD,Angels and Dodger Stadium.My top five in order Fenway Park,Wrigley Field,PNC Park,SF and Seattle.Baltimore would be top five ahead of Seattle if the city werent such a dangerous,crime ridden hellhole.
Pnc and Busch stadium are the top 2
And it's the hardest City to drive in I drive a truck over the road that place ranks is the worst
No Pnc is similar to Oracle, but also very different
You really need to go see truist park.. with it's battery and the chop house. But I guess because the Braves play there no one gives it any credit
Camden yards has horrible views. It does not deserve to be that high.
I cant rlly rank mine bc ive only been to Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, and Fenway
Crotona park in the Bronx is the best
Petco park is the best
Cleveland
Giants
Orioles
Pittsburgh
Twins
Kansas City*
Houston
San Diego
Bigger
Mets
Boston *
Cubs*
St Louis
Nyy
* Fixed older parks great
No Oakland stadium at Jack London Square is going to top Oracle Park! No one needs to drive to a Giants game. There's Cal Train, ferries, the Muni, busses. NO need to drive there at all! And why does Brodie Brazil make such an issue about being able to drive to a game? There's not that many EVs on the road yet, and most cars are just blowing co2 out of their tail pipes, creating more global warming!
Fenway park is very overrated imho!
In 30 years they will have to replace Oracle Park
This is pretty much the same list that everyone else puts up. No surprises, no deviations, nothing different from any of the other countless lists out there already. What's the point? If you had said something like "Oh, I may be alone in this, but I loved the Reds stadium" or "I know everyone else loves PNC but I thought it sucked and here's why..." then I might have gotten something interesting and useful from this. As it is... well... it's essentially just a copy and paste.
I'm of the opinion that Fenway is the most overrated ballbark in baseball. Food is lousy. Lots of funky seats.
Camden yards is the best ballpark was just there to watch the boys clinch the playoffs n beat Tampa
Yankee stadium and Oakland Coliseum are underrated
If renovation can be done to dodger stadium...the Coliseum is overdue -and in the name thats all good and holy-GET RID OF MT DAVIS!!!
Ht has Bart
Wrigley not in your top 5? Yeah, right ...
you cant do a list best parks you no see them all and you dont mention the ones you havent been too but san fran is # 1
I agreed with everything till you got to Petco. It's one of the worst ballparks in all of baseball. Terrible design.
Seattle is #1 and it’s not close imo
I'm glad you didn't put any erector set looking ballparks like Citizens Bank, Great American, etc . Hate those
Didn't they kick people out of their neighborhood to build this in a parking lot? And didn't they leave Brooklyn? Can never cheer for them and the NY Giants that play in SF. Sorry.
No, trust me. The Dodgers need a new stadium. I love Petco Park. You forgot to mention the little kid ball park they have in the outfield there. Kids play all game long. It's a beautiful park
No, trust me, Dodger Stadium is a gem and the Dodgers don't need any "new" stadium. #1 Stadium out there! Go Dodgers!
Lol lame excuse for T-Mobile Park 😂
Baltimore definitely has a really cool stadium too bad it's in a s*** hole of a city
Been to 7 stadiums. I might be in the minority here but Pittsburgh is a tad bit overrated.
