Maybe mayor RT Bonebrain will repurpose the Metrodome for Jimmy 'Bikeshorts' Oberstar's personl indoor biking oval.

What would one expect with a disaster associated with HubBub Humphrey? He of infamous initials inscribed on towels used by Elizabeth Ray.

I was there when they really did blow up the Kingdome. It was its finest moment. BTT.

Any list without Fenway is just sentimental nonsense. It was a terrible venue when it opened and it's worse now. It's not a cherished heirloom, it's an antiquary curiosity. I'm tired of all the hooey about Fenway as some sort baseball Mecca. The Yankees abandoned the House that Ruth Build, why can't the Red Sox leave the House the Ruth Abandoned?

[C19fan]

The concrete toilet bowls that were in Phila, Pitts and Cincinnati. I went to a game at Veteran in Phila and it was a dump and the worst atmosphere ever.

“Baseball’s 10 worst ballparks. Ever!” ANY Stadium(minus Dodger Stadium) built btwn 1960 to 1985. THAY ALL were/are “Multi-Purpose” POS.

While I normally object to anything political in a sport column, this got a laugh out of me:

Can the Roger Clemens trial please, please PLEASE mark the end of baseball's steroids saga, which, like the "Real Housewives" franchise, has gone on far too long? Why did our government spend such a fortune to prosecute a baseball player for not telling the truth to Congress? This is beyond a waste of time, money and manpower -- it also shows a flagrant disrespect for our country's value system. It's not supposed to work this way. If you say something obviously false or patently ridiculous inside the Congressional halls, you're not supposed to be tried for perjury; you're supposed to be re-elected.

10. Veterans Stadium, Riverfront Stadium and Three Rivers Stadium.

How are they different from Fulton County Stadium and Busch Stadium from the "Mothership from Planet Bland" era?

While listening to those breathless reports about the Northeast heatwave, imagine watching 9+ innings of baseball here at Colt 45 stadium in a Houston August...

[GonzoGOP]

I'm surprised Wrigley Field didn't make it. The pitchers have to dodge foul balls while warming up. There is no parking, not limited parking, none. Unless you are in the field boxes there are big I beams blocking your view of the field. The bathrooms are less advanced than the ones at the Roman Colosseum.

Worst of all every time I've been to Wrigley field a Cubs game has broken out. Nothing ruins a day at the park like watching the Cubs get curb stomped by the Cardinals, Reds, Mets, Brewers, a third grade girls little league team or whoever happens to wander by. You think vagrancy laws would allow the city to get rid of those guys.

Any dome or artificial turf field.

[Conservative_Jedi]

I was going to say Three Rivers Stadium, and lo and behold, there it was at # 10 with the rubber stamps in Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

[Night Hides Not]

Candlestick Park didn’t make the list? Wow!

[Kryn-Man]

I don’t care what hey say, I have many good memories of baseball in the metrodome. Maybe the players didn’t like it, but the attendance in it’s final year was higher then the AL average.

[wordsofearnest]

How can Wrigley Field not be on the list. The History Channel’s series “After People” used Wrigley as an example.

After 20 years it still smelled of piss and stale beer.

[Pappy Smear]

I've been to 20 some MLB parks past and present. Hands down the worst is old Exhibition Stadium in Toronto where the Blue Jays played prior to their current Rogers Centre.

It was baseball played on a football field/bowl. The seats didn't face the field, and they had a poor slope in seating for site lines.

Just horrible.

[Cyman]

I nominate Fenway Park. Been there twice(not recently) and the seats are aligned terribly,no parking, the concession stands few and far between and the level of profanity in the stands and in the concourse was overwhelming.The proximity to the playing field was it's one redeeming feature.

I have never understood the contrived published and air waved love affair for that dump.

[Retired Greyhound]

I went to the Metrodome one time, for a convention.

I had no idea that when you leave the dome, the pressurization literally sucks you right out the door.

The funniest part was watching unsuspecting people get sucked out the door and look back like “what the hell?”

But despite some great World Series moments, it was a lousy place for baseball.

[lurk]

The old Busch Stadium with the green rug that had humpy seams in it because it was a dual-purpose field with the football team. Hot ground balls on that rug would do odd things. Sort of makes you think the architects were smoking some good Jamaican stuff and looking at a truck tire rim lying on the ground when they designed that thing.
