Baltimore Orioles (1992-present)
The 1970s and '80s were a dark time in stadium building in the United States. It seemed like it was all about capacity and fire codes, resulting in these big soulless boxes that relied on teams to fill the the void with some kind character. In 1992 the Orioles were the first to bring back some charm to the modern ballpark when they built Camden Yards over an old railyard, revitalized a downtown district, and gave the Orioles a worthy new home. All the modern new ballparks owe something to The Yard, and someday soon (Matt Wieters, Brian Matusz, your time is now!) the O's might return the favor and bring major league ball back to B-More.

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!

What the hell is a Havs game? I know V and B are near each other on the keyboard but seriously!
seriously? September 24th, 2010 at 07:00 AM
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?
