Comments on: Camden Yards v. Wrigley Field http://elainermeyer.com/2007/06/28/camden-yards/ a blog by Elaine Meyer Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:45:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Michael Blaine http://elainermeyer.com/2007/06/28/camden-yards/#comment-874 Sat, 30 Jun 2007 05:17:11 +0000 http://elainemeyer.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/camden-yards/#comment-874 Oriole Park is a gorgeous stadium, the best place I’ve ever been to watch a baseball game. Try to get better seats, and give it another chance. (I’ll confess I’ve never been to Wrigley Field, though.)

As for RFK, an absolute dump featuring a lousy team and ignorant fans.

Having attended more than a few Nationals’ games lately, I’ve come to appreciate the virtues of Wrigley as well. RFK is horrendous and I completely understand why the Nats franchise wants a new baseball stadium. As for “the Cell” (i.e. U.S. Cellular field aka New Comiskey Park), the renovations its had over the past seven years has done A LOT to make it much more pleasant place to take in a baseball game. Plus, at “the Cell” people actively pay attention to the game, so it’s a much more infectious atmosphere even for the casual baseball fan like myself. In contrast, going to Wrigley or RFK is like deciding to go to a party I have no enthusiasm to attend (“oh, I’ll stop by for a few innings and if I’m having a good time, I’ll stay but if not, I’ll leave”) – the difference is, Wrigley is fun and RFK leaves much to be desired.
