The sound of jets flying overhead every 45 seconds adds a lot.

I'd complain about the ranking for Kaufmann Stadium, but you do have to watch the Royals there. That alone dropped the stadium 10 positions.

It is a beautiful stadium, though.

How are SBC and Dodger Stadium that low? Everybody seems to enjoy them. I guess they get screwed on accessibility and crap like that.

I can vouch for Miller Park. We were there last Friday night for the Brewers/ Braves and it is a fantastic ballpark. The parking is all surface lot and the fans are there at least 2 hours before game time with thousands, and I do mean thousands of BBQ pits all cooking brats!!!!!!!! Several people offered us food as we walked around the lot starting at 5:00. We had a couple brats and one lady even forced us to try her veggie pizza she had made on a weber kettle. The brats were fantastic inside and outside the stadium. We even found AB products at Miller Park in a bar inside the stadium called Fridays. All of that and a sausage race after the 6th inning, too! I think that's the only thing Bud hasn't fucked up yet!

The #6 park and they are tearing it down...
