Spring is here which means baseball season is right around the corner! To celebrate the occasion, TripAdvisor came up with a list of the top 10 ballparks in America.
Here are the top 10 ballparks according to TripAdvisor:
1.PNC Park in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
This park isn't just good for the game. This ballpark along the Allegheny River offers amazing views of the Steel City skyline and the beautiful Clemente Bridge. This park is unique in that it's two levels and it's relatively new as it opened in 2001. Any seat is a good one to take in the amazing views that surround this ballpark. A TripAdvisor traveler commented, "The views of the city from the ballpark are beautiful; great food and beer selections."
2. AT&T Park in San Francisco, California
This park, which opened in 2000, also offers terrific views of the San Francisco Bay. Guests can wait for home run balls to be hit into McCovey Cove, eat delicious food and beverages and kids can visit the 50-by-50 foot replica of the stadium. "Even if you don't like baseball, you must take in a game here," said a TripAdvisor traveler.
3. Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland
TripAdvisor calls this a "retro park" which had been around since 1992. Located near Inner Harbor, guests can check out Eutaw Street where more than 60 home runs have landed and the impressive B&O Warehouse in right field which is the longest brick building in the East Coast. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "Just an amazing ballpark truly the total package for going to a baseball game."
4. Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts
Located in the heart of Boston, baseball fans will appreciate a visit to American's oldest ballpark. Open since 1912, this ballpark is famous for the Green Monster wall in left field, atop which visitors can now enjoy seeing games. "Absolutely loved watching our first baseball game at Fenway! Amazing fans, great beer and a good time," commented a TripAdvisor traveler.
5. Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri
This modern park, which opened in 2006, is often called "New Busch Stadium." Fans can catch a game against the backdrop of the Gateway Arch and St. Louis skyline. Guests can also grab some local goods like turkey legs and pulled pork as they watch the game. "If you stroll around the park, you will find that Busch Stadium is an experience all in itself," said one TripAdvisor traveler.
"Nothing says Americana like a day out at the old ball game, and the TripAdvisor community has identified these popular stadiums as the finest," said Brooke Ferencsik, director of communications at TripAdvisor. "From the architecture of the buildings, to the stunning views of the surroundings, to the local culinary delights, these parks provide travelers with baseball-rich experiences that will last a lifetime."
