Boca Juniors (1940-present)
Technically it's called the Estadio Alberto J. Armando, but to everyone in Buenos Aires it's La Bombonera, "The Chocolate Box." This barely standing relic in the La Boca section of the Argentine capital is home to Boca Juniors, Maradona's old squad (he still has a luxe box there), and when the home town team plays, you can expect flares, toilet paper, a massive party, chants you can hear in Uruguay—and if you pay attention, even futbol.

Yes, we want the nickname. Most HR's ever? 7 MVP's. Oh yeah, before you talk shit, that's not AT & T Park, that's Petco numbnuts.

Thank you for recognizing the Westfalenstadion. Btw everyone calls it like that forget the name. It was a necessity to sell the naming rights when the club went almost bankrupt in 2005. I am a Dortmund fan. Unser ganzes Leben Unser ganzer Stolz - Nur der BVB!

It's a Habs game.

What the hell is a Havs game? I know V and B are near each other on the keyboard but seriously!

MSG at number 20 and Yankee Stadium at 35? This is a joke. Fenway park is a terrible stadium. It's old and gross and needs serious remodeling.

Uh...have you missed Fenway's ten-year renovation project that's just ending now?
