As I watch the Reds pummel the Rockies, I realize that I'm not a fan of Cincinnati's new ballpark. Great American Ballpark just doesn't look appealing to me. Certainly it is an upgrade on boring Riverfront Stadium. I can't pinpoint what it is but I'm not a fan of this yard. I've never been there so I'm just giving my opinion as a TV observer.
As for calling it a new ballpark, Great American Ballpark is in its eigth Major League season. When do we stop calling it a new ballpark? When a kid is eight years old, do parents still say, "I'd like you to meet my new kid." I don't think so.
Anyway, Great American Ballpark is certainly not among the gems in my mind.
Here are my five favorite current parks, in order.
1: Wrigley Field.
2: Fenway Park
3: Coors Field
4: PNC Park
5: Dodger Stadium
I've been to Wrigley, Fenway and Coors. Still would love to get to PNC Park and Dodger Stadium.
Here are my all-time favorite parks, and yes, I've been to each one.
1: Original Yankee Stadium
2: Renovated Yankee Stadium
3: Wrigley Field
4: Fenway Park
5: Old Comiskey Park
6: Tiger Stadium
7: Coors Field
