The bottom group contained three older stadiums and one newer one that had nothing going for it. There aren't too many old stadiums left, so it should be no surprise that this group contains four newer stadiums and one older one. It's no coincidence that two of the stadiums have retractable roofs that were closed when I went.
Marlins Park
Target Field
Chase Field
O.co Coliseum
Yankee Stadium
Marlins Park did have good Cuban Food and I enjoyed their bobblehead museum. Outside of that there wasn't to recommend about the stadium. It didn't help that the place was pretty dead and empty. Chase Field, also a domed stadium, also had good food and nothing to recommend it. There was the pool in right field, but I didn't swim in it.
I liked the food at Target Field, but it felt enclosed because the outfield was covered by seats and ads. O.co has the worst reputation and is probably at the bottom for most. The park did have great Northern California beers and the Athletics Hall of Famer race was kind of cute. Yankee Stadium is the most modern of the stadiums and I'm guessing probably cost the most. There was nothing objectionable about the place, unlike some of the other bottom feeder stadiums, but there was nothing I really liked. I suppose the food and experience might've been better if I hadn't sat in the cheap seats, but Yankee Stadium is so expensive that it's tough to afford nicer seats.
That's the first nine ballparks. There'll be another five in the next group.
